I don't know if it's the first thing the look for, but from what I've heard, they will specifically target houses if they know they can find drugs and/or guns when no one is there.

I've seen a similar image macro on Facebook, except it's a person putting the sign up in their front yard, pointing out that their neighbor is unarmed.

If I were robbing someone, guns would be second only to smart phones on the list of stuff I'd want to steal. As far as dollar value to risk factor, guns are seriously outmatched only by an iPhone that can be hidden in your pocket or maybe a really awesome gaming rig laptop, but those are going to be pretty rare. And that's assuming that you can even fence an iPhone for its full value, when due to their basically requiring a network connection to use I'm not sure if that's true. Either way, advertising that you have a bunch of guns in your house is both a fundamental misunderstanding of how burglary works (you don't do it when there's someone around to give your description to the police, whether they can shoot you on top of it is moot) and pretty much the same as saying "don't you robbers dare come into our state because 1/2 our population keeps at least one bar of solid gold under their mattress!"

@Cham: As I understand it, selling an iphone minus contract is actually pretty profitable, since that increases your market, essentially. There are a bunch of people who'd like an iphone, but don't want the plan. So you stock up on iphones, jailbreak them, and sell them.

Re: Stahlseele's image.

I believe you can send women to Nirvana with penis. I've made women speak in tongues, have out of body experiences, fall unconscious while their dreaming mind went on a vision quest, one woman evacuated her bowels (so glad it wasn't my bed she did it on...)

Either that, or sex with me tends to result in failed SAN checks...

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Simple. Put your gun in the hands of a homemade robot that's programed to shoot at moving human silhouettes.

Indeed. If there's one thing working for the government has taught me, it's that muder robots are always a good idea.
