Me - I have a dog, so hopefully he would have barked his head off and they might have thought twice about it. Most likely it would be teenagers or opportunists, so I would call the gendarmes as the little sods ran away! Who knows, les poulets might even turn up in an hour or five....

I'm not some Libertarian gun nut--frankly I think our gun laws need some revision--but your last comment highlights one of the reasons some of us prefer to stay armed. The cops don't get here right away, either. I've had to call them or see them arrive both personally & as a professional requirement, more than once. The best response time I've seen for a 911 call was two minutes, 35 seconds. But I've seen the police take 40 minutes to show up. When an assault starts--in your home, on the street, wherever--if things go wrong you can get killed in less than 20 seconds, let alone two minutes! On my side of the pond, by the time the fuzzmobile pulls up whatever they were called for is already over, & all the cops do is talk to you, ask some questions, file a report, & put up yellow tape around the area if there are dead anywhere within it.
Also, "les poulets"? I thought "poulet" meant "chicken"...If cops in France have that kinda nickname, it does not inspire confidence!...

I knew there was something I liked about you. Women with shooting abilities are always alluring.

Haha, not so fast. I say the .22 because I've been taught how to shoot it. Not so bad with aim either. But the shotguns and the rifles... I've been told they would put me on my ass. I haven't even attempted to shoot those. :club:
