Need help with home alarms... Brinks, ADT, etc.

Hey John..That was almost at the same time..

Remember the last time I taked to you..I didn't get to bed yet..I'm spent!

Insomnia kickin' in hard!

[horns666]

Mike, you don't understand the cop view. We wouldn't be having this discussion if you did. You are a security guard. You have friends that are cops.

I was a security gaurd and I had friends that were cops a loooooooooooooooooong time ago...back in '90.

Your mentality, insight, logic, mindset and verbage is 100% civilian...which is not a bad thing. Most of my friends and family are civilans, and I love 'em.

Not the same thing bro,

But with your background and interests, I would encourage you to take the civil service exam.

Respectfully,

Bill Z

So officer, are you telling us that you support the idea of shooting burglars with handguns?

Why the fuck not? Seems like common sense to me. If you break into my house and I'm there and have a gun, you're gonna get your ass shot!

If I'm not wrong, in Texas, its LEGAL to shoot someone who trespasses. That includes a Burglar or someone asking for directions.

you have a right to protect your property in Texas. I don't know if they changed the law yet but in theory you could pick off someone stealing your car from you bedroom window o "protect" your property.

I knew sales guy for ADT a long time ago whenI livedn in Houston...I ddnt want to pay the monthly. He said just have it installed and cancel the monitoring...never did tho

[horns666]

Hey Shawn..I owe you a PM..

I haven't had the mindset to do it yet..sigh.

Really missing him man, trying to maintain upbeat around here.!

[RacerX]

This probably the main reason my house has been cool...

Shee - it! That'd make ME crap my pants! Lookit those beady, lifeless eyes...those eager jaws ready to tear out a throat...the "ears pinned back so I look like a damned alien"...the "Yeah WTF are you lookin' at" stance

(shudder)


:ROTF: :ROTF:

This is a great thread, all these dogs kick ass!

Here's my trusty watchdog "Danzig" at home guarding my Jackson.

He's a good dog...and John's other dog a Rott mix..she's a sweetheart!!!

I sound like Kinky Kelly and the Sexy Stud...oooohh boy, that's not good...

[RacerX]

Don't need one..

BTW Movie Buff..where did my sig come from...eh?

Some dumb movie, probably the same one as this:

Jay: Holy fuck, is that monkey waving at us? Oh, shit, It understood us! Maybe it's some kind of supermonkey. What if there's more supermonkeys up at that lab? [shouts] What if they're creating an army of them? Holy shit. It must be a conspiracy like in the X-Files... *Roswell* style! This little monkey could be the fuckin' damn dirty ape responsible for the fall of the human race. In this world gone mad, we won't spank the monkey- the monkey will spank us. And after the fall of man, these monkey fucks'll start wearing our clothes and rebuilding the world in their image. Oh and only those as super smart as me will be left alive to bitterly cry - *you maniacs*!

In the state of CT the perp's body would have to be half inside and half outside your door in order for you not to go to jail. If you shoot him outside - it's illegal, if you shoot him INSIDE- it's illegal.
I don't know about Ohio, but here the laws are fucked up.

I've had my carry permit for 10 years.
I have many handguns. They know my name at the range....
I'm totally in favor of taking out a burglar - but I'm not stupid enough to set myself up for jail. Unless he's sporting a gun himself (which burglars almost never do) -the law will side with thr perp in CT.

Hey Chris..ditch the ADT..and get some more bees..

They're cheaper..and you could spend that extra dough on geetar strings!

Heh heh... good idea Bill. We actually put the alarm in because we have a pool with a fence around it but wanted to know when the doors opened in the house( it chimes when any door is opened). We just had a bear cub roll through our yard the other day too so we look at the alarm as a good warning system for bears (if they ever decided to try and enter the house) Also, I am not so much worried about intruders coming in as I am about my kids going out without us knowing... With the kids it is worth the peace of mind, ya know what I am saying?

[MOSHWITZ]

Alarms companies and alarms are a scam..your payin' for alot of 100% nothing.

Completely useless..I can tell you why, but I don't want to write another elaborate reason for my PC to go blank again..

The best alarm is a loud audible on the vulnerble places on your home that are inviting to a suspect..back door, sliding door, bak or side windows and ect..that's it.

or a good dog..or you and your big gun!

I 1,000,000% support this advice

+a bunch of smoke alarms and your local authorities(fire, police,..um .. lawyer ) on speed dial.

A nice hidden cam that records to a DVR on a 72 hr cycle is great evidence too in case of something going down , and is not as expensive as one might think.


if they somehow,,,,albeit unlikely,,,have some strange luck getting by the white dickhead there is something waiting in the darkness
if they manage to get any further my pet Desert Eagle .50 cal will drop them where they stand

[SeventhSon]

i've had alarm systems and i *personally* think it's pissing money down the drain. i'd just get a dog.

there's another angle to the scam. when people move into a house with an alarm system. they are so excited that it's already installed that they think nothing of paying for the monitoring. of course, there's the whole start up fee for the company to come out and assess the existing system and get it running. Why? because the previous owners got so tired of paying the monthly fee, they let it expire and eventually forgot how the system worked and could not tell the new owners how it worked. I've seen this happen 3 times with the house next door. once the alarm company gets it installed, they are friggin set for life. it's like a cockroach that won't die!

(of course i'm being facetious to some extent)
