I stood around for two hours with my little 2 inch knife out in case they came back. Keep the gun, ON YOURSELF !! Good Work and had you not had the gun, the guy was looking to come back, so what does that say to the no gun people, Thanks Goodness for your quick thinking. Ed Nick YOU saved your and miss Terrys life, I was attacked once when I was 16 years old on a dark street in Dallas Tx. by two men, it was so dark I did not see the punch coming,

I found out that night I could kill someone, as I stood there thinking I would give 2 thousand dollars for a gun,
I was so mad I could see myself shooting them.

I stood around for two hours with my little 2 inch knife out in case they came back.

Keep the gun, ON YOURSELF !! Good Work and had you not had the gun, the guy was looking to come back, so what does that say to the no gun people,
Thanks Goodness for your quick thinking. Ed

I am glad no one was hurt, other than the thief when slammed his hand in the door. My house was broken into one time long ago--they broke out the window in the kitchen door. All they took was me stereo and a Billy Joel album that was on the turntable at the time. I wonder, too, why they have to tear things up and trash the place when they steal from you? Why not just take what they want and leave the rest alone? that is so scary! I am glad no one was hurt, other than the thief when slammed his hand in the door.

(Joe) Medlin Thu, 10 Dec 2009 03:19:22 +0000 http://gypsyjournal.net/blog/?p=3859#comment-9267 I would like to thank Linda Maynard for her posting. Obviously, we are greatful for the safety of anyone (Nick and Terry). There are those people who don't realize the number of people who are alive and well due to the safe and correct use of firearms against those that would cause them harm. (Byron and Brian) Imposing gun control on the law abiding citizen will ensure only the bad guy has a gun. Thank you for letting me vent. Glad all is well with you, Nick and Terry, even though I don't know you. I would like to thank Linda Maynard for her posting. Obviously, we are greatful for the safety of anyone (Nick and Terry).

Thanks for sharing the details. Sounds like you handled things perfectly. But the main thing is that you are safe. Hope things get settled back down quickly. Glad you guys are all right.

By your reasoning, if somebody broke into my home and raped me, would I be at fault because I have a vagina and did not wear a chastity belt? The burglar well may have had a gun when he went in. Who knows? Or a knife, and used it to kill or injure Nick and Miss Terry. How do you know the gun was improperly stored? He ransacked the place and tore it apart to find it. We have been in Nick's RV and never saw a gun in plain sight. In your opinion, how should an RVer store a firearm? My brother has a gun safe the size of a refrigerator. No room for that in any RV I ever saw. Let's keep in mind here that Nick and Moiss Terry were the victims. The criminal is the bad guy. HE chose to break in. HE chose to rip the RV apart. HE chose to slash the seats. HE chose to go on the attack rather than kick out a back window and run away. How was that any fault of the victims? Getting rid of the gun will ony make Nick an easier victim next time. Unless you have some magical way to first get rid of the criminal element in the world? That’s nonsense, Brian.
