[quote=Anonymous]1) Really? The Branch Davidians arbitrarily killed police? Or was there an exchange of firefight? You make it sound as if they would just go out and kill police officers.

2) Insults, to me, mean that you don't have anything logical to say in return.

3) I am not one of those posters and it was very nice of you to offer apology. Sounds as if we have common ground here, as you say.

4) I'm glad that you have advised your son not to do anything - the last thing a kid needs is to feel hopeless. And as you said, kids feel they can be super heros in situations like that, which doesn't work either. I would say in protection of the home, a gun has its place, but, as you say, there's lots of other ways as well. Thieves, intruders, abductors, all want things to go easily and according to plan. The key is to set them off-balance.

I was followed once, in my car. The person definitely was being methodical. What saved me from harm was my attention to detail. I noticed the front plates were absent, which was against the law. I noticed that the same person had been behind me for a while, so I took a side road I knew would meet up again with the main road (in retrospect, I'm lucky the individual didn't try to overtake me on that road and would not advise this). When the person followed me on that side road, I knew it was for real. I did not lead that person home, even though home (and my parents) was around the corner. I kept driving until I came to a very busy7/11 style store and pulled into the parking lot. When I saw the person go next door into the gas station and hide his car behind some pumps, that's when I got pissed. I pulled out of the space and GUNNED it at him. He took off, ran two red lights and was gone. Then I went into the store and told them what happened. A few years later, I re-told the story to an officer, who told me the man was hoping I would lead him home and probably would have either abducted me in the driveway or noted where I lived, hoping to strike soon after.

Very scary, but staying calm due to having something to do, a way to outsmart/defeat the individual was key to my  safety and subsequent survival.[/quote]
