Sure, but your picking tools don't have to be much more than a small Allen wrench and a 4-inch long piece of thin metal.
This is true. Hell, I have made due with the proverbial paper clip more than once. - I was talking about sets of lock pics.

The Bump Key - How to Open Any Lock
by daniel-p inthis video hows how with the use of a "bump key" a person can open a lock in seconds.
you can get a few keys that are the same types as most locks on household doors, alter them slightly, and use them to open doors while leaving no trace of damage.
or, you can just buy a set of them online.

I wonder how long this method has been known by locksmiths?
The principle has been around a long time. - These "Bump Keys" are based on the "Pick Guns." And they are not as easy to use as they make seem. Like anything else, it takes practice. I for one never could get the hang of it, but my boss was only two clicks away from opening just about any door he wanted. On the other hand, I always did my best work with my "Jim Rockford" set of picks. BTW, the better the lock is made, (usually higher cost) the harder it is to pick. And there are pick proof locks, as has been mentioned.BTW possession of lock picks without a VERY good reason, is not a really a good idea since they are considered burglary tools.

When in tick country I use Sawyers time release Deet, AND I have treated my clothes ahead of time with Sawyers Military Style Permethrin clothing treatment. I have never found a tick on me alive. BTW, this reminds me of something I once heard about the word Politics.....Poly meaning more than one, and tic, blood sucking parasite. Yup, works for me.

Gun owners - 3rd party defense of JW?
by asleif_dufansdottir inmy ccw instructor was not very encouraging about 3rd party defense by a ccw holder.
he said that it was not only risky because too often you (the ccw holder) don't know the whole story and you could make a big mistake.
in addition, there's the risk that you could act in defense of a stranger, only to find out the stranger is horrified by you having a gun, and could say something to the cops that screws you over (even if you've acted within the bounds of the law).. given that the society's published attitude about guns as defense, is that christians "reject magic and weapons as tools of protection," how willing would you be to act in defense of a jw that a) you didn't know [you saw them being attacked on the street] or b) you did know?

I very much respect everybody's opinion and recognize that like religion, there is so much emotionalism tied up with this issue that it's difficult to discuss.
The key word here is emotionalism. This issue seems to bring more "feelings" than facts to the table by the anti-gun side every time. Our media does not help. After all, how often do you hear about someone saving a life or defending themself with a firearm in the news? It happens everyday, but you only hear about the bad caused, not the good done.
It never ceases to amaze me that there are even some that believe the anti-gun sites stance on the 2nd amendment. Even a cursory examination of the facts would show anyone that the 2nd means just what it says. - But the lies just keep getting told.

Last time I checked the history books, the US has not "SAVED" anyones ass in its entire history.
Kid-A (What does that "A" stand for I wonder? Certainly not Academic.) - Hey Kid, ever heard of WW1 and WW2? Or maybe the Cold War? You know someone like you who is either mentally limited, or disingenous, really should do more listening than talking. But you are always good for a laugh. Now go back to your cartoons like a good little boy.

The article about the "sniper" (I hate to use that term for just a murderer who shoots at random people)
Yeah, I bet 'ole "White Feather" is spinning in his grave.

I read a story in the Miami Herald about a sniper in some town in America this week. Apparently the sale of hand guns has gone up since the snipers activities.
This just shows how dumb gun owners can be.
Since when did anybody SEE a sniper AND have enough time to shoot back??? DUH.
Owning a gun for self defence is a false security IMO. A criminal is way more likely to be able to use a gun, WAY more motivated to use it (cos hes desperate, probably, for money or drugs or money for drugs) and way less likely to feel a human inhibition about causing fatal damage to another human being.
Im glad there is no culture of owning guns where I live, because I can only think that more guns = more shootings = more injuries
Yup, I'm a dumb American gun owner, and proud of it.
U.S.A. A gun loving country that has been saving the worlds ass for more than two hundred years.

Tuff question. I would have a real hard time not coming to the defense of anyone in "fear of great bodily harm or death," but if it were a JW? Hmmmmmmm, I would be tempted to find the nearest chair, sit down and watch.
In all seriousness, there are even some famous "Gun-Nuts" that have said they would not risk coming to a strangers aid. I know that Clint Smith the owner of Thunder Ranch has said this. Personally I'm not sure I agree with him.

I've really enjoyed reading your posts here. You seem to be a person with a great sense of humor--while existing in a very tense situation.
Thank you very much for the kind words.
