I don't know how you people can't see that.. Busy know's what he's doing :01:

and if that doesn't work, and you actually go in the house, I imagion that the sight of some guy rushing you with a sword would bring everything into focus pretty quickly

Shits and giggles and fillet the turkey and ta ladies dig it.

EDIT: Those missing the point are just homos...

and if you managed to take a photo of him (it's a washington thing) coming at you with sword and costume and survive it'll be sth to show people and tell stories about for years :01:

busy ftw :01:

it makes you a prick if you are ready to defend your self?

No, I'm prepared to defend myself, trust me I have done.

However comments like "it's for da burglars" when referring to something like that. That makes you a prick.

Like I said earlier, if you want it to practice martial arts, cool. If you want it to hang on your wall, also cool. No problem with either of those.

and I bet you would steer clear of that house in the future

@Jpaul- so it only makes you a prick if you arm yourself in case you are attacked?

Please see my earlier re whether you would be willing to use such a thing.

Bearing in mind that a burglar is not someone who is attacking you. It is someone who is stealing from you.

I thought that every burglar carried at least 3 guns and a toolbelt full of knives:unsure:

it's been known for burglers and muggers to try and silence witnesses. personally, if I hear someone that does not belong in my house invite himself in in the middle of the night, I am not likely to assume that he just wants to help himself to the TV. I'm gonna tell him to get the fuck out of there and if he advances, I am going to fear that he is going to attack me and respond accordingly.

And given the context you would arm yourself to deal with the situation, would that be right.
