Does anybody else get really annoyed at these ads? The ones where some BG is trying to break into a house while the family is there. The alarm goes off and the bad guy runs away. The famliy runs upstairs and locks a door. Brinks calls the family and says the police are on the way. I think this illustrates the need for a family to own a gun for self defense.  |
| yup, look at dem suburban folks run and hide. Society of Pussies. My Brother has ADT and I work 15 miles away from his house (30 Minutes drive AT BEST, maniac speed). His alarm went off with the internal motion detector and ADT called my Brother, got the OK to call the cops, and then my brother called me to go check it out. I beat the cops there by 15 minutes. Yeah, that alarms is gonna save your ass.... That is why my whole family is armed. |
| You don't need an alarm company to hold your hand and call the cops if you protect yourself. If they shot the guy, they wouldn't need the police to rush to their aid, as the problem would be taken care of. This isn't a good thing to portray when your business caters to people who are too scared to call the police themselves, much less shoot someone. |

I hear you - I HATE those commercials!!! Instead of taking charge the man of the house tucks his cock and balls behind his legs and hides with the rest of the family, and when BRINKS calls, well, everything is A-OK!! Because it's fucking BRINKS on the phone!! How is anyone going to kill you when BRINKS is right there, ON THE FRICKEN PHONE??? "Stop right there, I'm talking to BRINKS!!" "Oh shit man, I didn't know! I'll go next door! Cheerio!" |
good point! started a new thread specifically to discuss that. -foxxz |
| I was thinking the same thing. I say to myself every time I see that, "...and that is why I have a gun, so I don't have to hudle like a sheep waiting for someone else to rescue me". I don't like to rely on a noise to scare someone off. What if they are looking for more then just valuables. |
I would call our dispatch center (911), and ID myself and the situation in progress to the on-duty dispatcher. I would wait until he entered the house. At that would identify myself as a Peace Officer, and instruct him to not make any sudden moves. Since he is actively committing a felony, I would have my sidearm in the ready - covering position. (pointed at him - finger off trigger) If he made any sudden move after that warning, I could only assume that it was for a weapon, in an effort to kill or disarm me, and continue his felonious criminal activity - including possible escalation of that activity to remove any witnesses - like my wife and daughter. I would act decisively to take appropriate action to the level of the threat that I perceived, with the most immediate results possible to stop that threat, and cause the perpetrator to immediately cease and desist from any further criminal activity. |
If you're saying you'd blast him unless he complied with your instructions, then I concur. |

Damn that's good stuff. I really dislike that commercial. However, I can personally say that Brink's probably saved me some serious cash about a month ago. My house was broken into (I wasn't home) and the cops showed up about 4 minutes after the alarm sounded. I was thankfully only out 6 bucks for a window. The thread title was "my house was broken into" if anyone wants a read, I didn't bookmark it. |
