[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3260383, member: 9374"] So we don't have a right to presume our property won't get stolen? We have a responsibility to keep it away from thieves, beyond locked doors, that is? I mean, if it's in my garage, inside my car, is that ok? Do the doors need to be locked then? Like, if they break into a window in my garage, then into my locked car, am I not to blame then? Or am I only to blame if they break into my locked truck sitting outside? What if I forgot to set the alarms? Damn... that flashing alarm light would have been an additional warning to the criminal, wouldn't it?? What about the gun I leave on my shelf next to my recliner in the living room? If they break in my back door and take it, am I to blame? How about if I forgot to set my alarm that night when I went to bed, or if I got up at 0130 to take the new puppy out to relieve herself and forget to reset the alarm when I come back in? Am I at fault then for leaving a gun out in my living room and not having it properly behind locked doors AND my alarm system? Or... what about the one on my computer desk? Next to my front door in a drawer? How about the one inside my nightstand? Or the one sitting on TOP of my nightstand? I mean... if someone gets through my locked doors, past my alarm system and then happens to sneak into my bedroom without waking me, they could just GRAB that damned gun sitting on my nightstand, loaded, NO MANUAL SAFETY (OH MY GOD!) and just shoot us all right there. Would that be my fault, too? Or... what about the locked and loaded AR-15 AND 12g pump sitting in the corner right next to my bed? Damn... should I be putting ALL of these guns in my SAFE every night, so that I can feel I've done "enough" to keep them out of the hands of criminals? I mean, apparently it's not enough to [B]assume [/B]that having my property (just a [B]TOOL[/B], right???) inside my locked car is enough, right? I mean... how many layers of security do we expect or need before we are no longer to blame for someone stealing our ****? I'm just curious... How long should a woman's skirt be before she's no longer to blame for being raped? How much cash should one person be allowed to carry on their person before it's considered "too tempting" to criminals? Or how many gold rings or chains should they be allowed to wear before the temptation is just too hard to resist? Shouldn't they bear some kind of responsibility for not protecting criminals from that? Or how long a fur coat should a woman be allowed to wear? Seriously... [/QUOTE]
