Do you ever wonder whether your home security system or “Beware of Dog” sign actually keeps burglars away? We did too. So KGW's investigative team sent letters to 86 inmates currently serving time for burglary in the Oregon Department of Corrections. The inmates were asked to respond anonymously to 17 questions detailing how they broke in, when the crime occurred and what they were looking for.

About question 2, NRA bumper sticker meant lots of guns inside. Not buying that. At my previous home most neighbors got burglarized, some repeatedly, whereas we did not. We had NRA stickers in several windows. I often carried guns to and from my truck in the driveway as a recreational shooter. I also informed the neighbors to discuss with their kids, an unknown silhouette in the dark was not safe around our house. I assume the local druggies figured a high probability of 'getting stopped' if breaking into our home. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
