Well we all know that if you have a gun you will either not know how to use it, shoot a family member or have the gun taken away from you and shot by the BG>>> :banghead:

These are some of the most ridiculous statements to confronting Evil I have ever heard of. Spray them with wasp killer, but first call your Master to see if you can legally spray a violent criminal with a chemical. Treat them like royalty, give them everything they want and never lie to them. Should you throw in your wife and daughter hiding in the closet to seal the deal? Why don't we all leave our doors unlocked so Evil doesn't have to break anything? We can all put a table on our front porch and just leave our stuff on it so they don't even have to come in the house.

Most "wasps" out here eat spiders so I'll continue to use my "wasp killer" for those violent Yellow Jackets that sting me just for minding my own business. The only violent creature on this Planet I will run from is the Yellow Jacket. I do it all the time and fully understand it's not the "manliest act" to be running about flailing ones arms. Unfortunately, when one notices the "gang" of yellow jackets its always after the attack has commenced and one has already been stung a few times.

For violent criminals one should be spraying bullets...

So, the lady was wondering how she would be killed? What if the invader is not going after property but savage sex and a torturing murder? What the liberals idiots do say? Have they forgot about the Dr. family who were burned alive?!! What if they armed and more than one?!

When you consider that the "advice" was from a retired New York LEO the advice is not going to mention guns. A Texas LEO would have talked guns.

I bet the retired LEO has a gun at home next to his bed. I also doubt you would find any wasp spray in his house.

If I was the criminal type, and part of a home invasion crew, I think getting sprayed with wasp spray would get me pretty cheesed off and cause me to escalate my bad behavior.

Wasp spray? Really? So you blind them and they end up filing a law suit against you for harming them. Worse yet, you get it pointed in the wrong direction and end up spraying yourself.
Not 100% sure, but I would bet that the castle doctrine doesn't cover maiming an intruder with a chemical.
There is one sure-fire (pardon the pun) way to deal with a bad-guy with bad intent....

So do we spray them with wasp spray or treat them like royalty? I'm confused. :???:

I think he's saying you make it so they're not around to sue you.
It's only a little short sighted, as the family is just as capable of filing a lawsuit...

Purposely spraying someone with Wasp Spray probably violates some federal laws. That could be the basis for a suit.

Stick a lighter in front of the wasp spray. That should burn off the chemicals. :mrgreen:
