Who sleeps with their bedroom door lock?

We usually keep the lock on the door. No need for the lock to be taken off the door and sleep in our bed:p

Seems like that intruder would be fscking around with the wrong person. Not only do you have the equipment, you know how to use it. :thumbsup:

get some trip wire, some explosives, and a camera (for pics).
Or get some pungy sticks, and array them near the window. (Pungy sticks are sharp bamboo needles made by the vietcong that are covered in crap.) The only problem might be the fact that the poo may stink up the house.

also, shut the door, and put a shotgun behind it with a string tied to the knob, (it'll kick some a$$ and open up a can)

Since I now live in a city that prohibits firearms

that sounds like a violation of the Bill of Rights...local laws cannot supersede federal laws (or so I thought)...

they can prohibit concealed weapons and discharging it, but they can't prevent you from owning a firearm unless I am missing something...

When the nights are cool, we usually leave the bedroom door open to hear if someone breaks in or whatever. Well, with the AC running, you can't hear a damn thing and having the door close is even worse. I'm paranoid like that. I have a 9mm under the bed, but i guess i wouldnt be able to react. Well, my friend suggested I lock the door. I never liked the idea cuz I always think of "what if." Maybe I should do it tonight.

:camera:'s of 9mm please! :)

n00b, it's supposed to be ":camera:'s of girlfriend"!

We have a deadbolt on the front door, a locking screen door and 2 ~70 pound mutts (German Shepherd and Rottweiler types). My wife gets freaked out and wants to lock our bedroom door after she watches the news about criminals etc. You can pick our bedroom door lock with a Q-tip.

Needless to say I mock her ruthlessly for this
