The strangest circumstance that I've ever encountered

[Mrs. Mavsluva]

I was away from my home on Saturday night from 5:30PM to 7:30PM. When I walked in through my front door at 7:30PM, I walked into a house that absolutely wreaked of natural gas. I could also hear something hissing and it sounded as if it were coming from the kitchen. So I made my way into the kitchen and it just so happened that two of the four burners on my stove had been turned on high. Well, I didn't do it so someone had to of entered my home while I was gone and turned them on. So I turned the burners off, opened the downstairs windows and then called the cops.

I've got to admit that I've been pretty freaked out while being at home since that event. Now that David has passed away, it's kind of terrfying being home alone. I'm confident that a good portion of my neighbor knows that I'm now living alone so I'm afraid that that makes me a better candidate for being violated in regards to my home. Other than changing out the locks and having a monitored security system, what else could I do?

Thanks

Get a concealed carry permit and learn to use it. Texas is "the" area to have a gun since they have right to property laws too. (more chances to pop someone)If they didn't want shot they should being stealing from me

Single woman living alone, should already have at least a 9mm with +p hollow points. If you are worried about killing someone for religous reasons I have a whole book on real shootings and alot of them were preachers that had to defend themselves.

You may want to also consider a dog, the right k9 will keep any unwanted visitors out. Let us know regardless if we can help.

better circumstance than circumcision

I am afraid of guns. I'd rather someone shoot me before being forced to shoot them.

[shifty_git]

You know of anyone that has something against you?

Think the k9 option is a good one.. will make someone think twice about even trying to enter your home.

Maybe a permanant webcam and new alarm system as well...

I apologize if that is offensive.. its just how i originally read the title hehe

omg, are you kidding?My 64 yr old mom has her own guns and can shoot tooShe is "the" church woman and would have no problem sending a few to their maker

[Mrs. Mavsluva]

The dog is definintely the most feasible option in my opinion. My house is for sale (and has been for quite some time now!) and my next move will put me into an apartment. I'll feel more safe in an apartment while being alone so that'll help. But for now, I've got to endure the dangers of being alone in my house.

[goodcents]

Oh yeah, apartments are much safer, lots of people to help thereomg, get a gun, get over the fear and protect yourself, it's your right to protect yourself. Guns don't kill people.................









bullets do

Goodcents, the fact that I'm a spiritual person has nothing to do with my desire (or lack thereof) to own a gun.

[goodcents]

A dog is just a warning device, an alarm is a joke, it's takes them forever to find your local police and then to call them

Big dog and gun

Big dog in an apartment, bad idea

Well what is it then?

[goodcents]

You think a bad guy is going to worry whether you like guns or not? pc is out the window in an attack

YOU'D take for ever to call the cops too, if you didnt have an opposable appendage

I don't know what to tell her? The alarms and all that are jokes (sick ones at that) only real protection in an attack is gun and being better than the other guy and the williness to kill or be killed. Most women don't have that killer instint to begin with, they hesitate and worry about it rather than just do it. Isreal women are some bad ass girls they take care of business

I had to leave several times a year to take classes so I bought a rot to keep my wife and children company while I was gone. Shes the biggest baby in the world but because of their reputation everyone that doesnt know her is afraid of her.

[goodcents]

oh and forget about pepper spray, you will just season himthen he will kill you. Go to some shooting classes and get training. Forget about self defense classes, they are a joke if a big man is up against awomen he can knock them out with one punch, forget about trying to poke his eyes out with dull keys tooI tell the girls that work for me to kick them once and run like hell since most women can out run men. You stand and fight and you lose.

[goodcents]

A big dog is alot of help and will warn you and buy you time to get your gun but that is it.

[RA]

lol, why dont you tell her to just off herself now and get it over with...

Dogs are a great deterrent...I would venture to say if you heard my dog Katie barking..you would not enter the house.

Goodcents, it's quite clear that you suffer from "I use too many smilies" syndrome.

get a security system
new locks
get 2 rottweilers. One of the best, if not the best, guard dog, plus they look hella intimidating

also, Im with goodcents, get a pistol. keep it in a drawer by yr bed. of course its a last resort type thing. all the women living by themselves that I know, have 2-3 guns. Of course they r not bloodthirsty sickos, lol at least not my 90 year old grandma, but like stated, last resort.
better safe than sorry

or u could set up traps like the kid from Home Alone..

[goodcents]

No I would go too far and all the guys would run like knights in shining armor. They just wouldn't be there when someone broke into her houseTo each their own, I'm skating

[goodcents]

Could just dial 911 when you need them like in scary movie "white woman in trouble" sirens blaring

[goodcents]

Hell I thought everyone in texas had a gun

[StoneGRMI]

What did the cops say to do?

[goodcents]

What did the cops say to do?

"get a gun, this is texas"reminds me of pace picante sauce "new york city"Do they even play those commercials in new york?

nobody comes in my front door when my dalmation is barking, the thing makes some crazy angry noises, plus if you live alone great company.
