Weapons Stolen 10/08/2010

I personally feel bad for You. Not for the loss of Your weapons, but the loss of your pesonal security. I leave a bait gun with a blocked barrel(.22) that i bought for $50 at a pawn shop. Most theives around here just take what they can see. In and out in a hurry. I figure if my dogs don't get at them, and they make off with the bait gun, they will wind up in the hospital with a face full of steel, and the case will be solved real quick. I for one will be on the lookout for You here in Western Washington at the Gunshows. The I-5 corridor brings us all sorts of nice people from Your neck of the woods......LOL

Not too smart in my opinion. Better check your state booby trap laws before you find yourself in more trouble than you anticipate, both criminal and civil. Many states have a castle doctrine that enables you to defend your property, but I doubt it covers setting a trap that will kill or injure someone at a later date. Also, most burglars sell thier loot. What if he sells it to some kid or innocent party who tries it out without checking it out.

Yep, a civil suit waiting to happen. The perpetrator could even file it from the county jail! For a $50 .22 cal. it would be better to leave it fully functional.
