My bosses uncle was at home (elderly man 75 or so) he was out in his yard when two men in a car pull into his driveway. They get out and start asking questions, and try and relate that they buy antiques and such for resale. (think american pickers) They ask him a few questions about this and that if he has different items. He responded "I don't have any WWII helmets or bayonets, even if I did they wouldn't be for sale." One of the guys said lets just go inside and take a look around. At that point the old man with his hand in his pocket and on his 38 kinda poked it (rudely I mite add) through his pants and said "I don't think you'll be going in my house anytime today." They got back in their car and left. He called the cops and it turns out the guys had been reported by a few other elderly people/couples in the area. He just happens to be one of these old timers (like my dad) who keeps a pistol in his pocket at all times. You can't be too safe.
