        The fact that you are pro-gun that makes a good case for gun control.

        He's not pro-gun, he's pro-self defense. It just so happens that a gun is a very effective means of defense.

          Seems the death threats were the deadbeat kids up the road. They were asking Hannah on the bus if we got any weird calls on the weekend and acting all mysterious. My wife is keen on threatening the kids with legal action ( which we can't take based on one call ). I would prefer to not be escalating things, because the parents are morons ( we have no-one to go to ), and I can see if we try to start an arms war, my kids will pay the price. What do you guys think ? Obviously, if they call again, or harrass my kids further, that's another matter, but Donna wanted to start the legal threats on the weekend, before the kids had done anything further at all. All that's happened is that someone asked my daughter if we got any weird calls on the weekend.

            I was in a similar situation years back. The callers were not kids but adolecents. The first thing is not to take it seriously, you know, as in actually worrying. Now, both the phone company and police are forced to take it seriously. You can pass it along to them. In my case, I simply recorded the call and let them handle it.

                I am also, but people like him are the last people that need to have guns. He is the one who freaked out and started threatening me the other day just over something I said.

                  The neighbours dogs attacked my cat, these people live up the road. Lilly is another matter, but it doesn't seem likely.

                        They live too far away, and my house is too far from the street for that to be remotely likely. The cat jumped over the fence just outside the kitchen, I can't imagine they came down here, walked up my drive and did that while we were in the kitchen.

                          If they do one more thing, then I will get serious. For now, it was a dumb thing some kids did on a Sunday, and I will lay low rather than force things to get worse.

                              So you can afford to buy me the plane ticket. Find the Boags on special and talk the missus into letting me stay for a night and we're halfway into an A-Team plot.

                                Just make sure you mean business. Whether that includes flashing a gun or not, that's up to you. Why can't you go to their parents?

                                    you know them best. Just reminds me of some from my HS days. They did travel that far but set fire to the cat.
