What a great public service. Every house with a red porch light is a crime magnet
Either an easy target or a cat house

This might actually be a public service; it should thin the ranks of liberals in the nation.

I'd be astounded if this gained traction at all. Advertising your own lack of arms is exactly the ludicrous scenario I use to point out why we shouldn't make gun free cities, or states, or nations.

Robbed? Sure. Let alone all the crimes of personal violence that may go along with it.

All Fears are real. I use to be afraid of the monster under my bed. Now, I sometimes think the monster is more afraid of me. Fears can protect. They can also hold you back. When you have the Faith and confidence you should test the Fear to see if you have outgrown it.

I do this!!!! I also use the same idea duck hunting, put out a few decoys and the ducks come. Turn on the red porch light, grab a chair and a beer and open the door just a little. The hardest part is being patient let them open the door fully and don't rush the shot remember front sight squeeze.

Not a fan of any colored porch light program. All they do is make you stand out to anyone who may disagree with what the color stands for. In this case it also sounds like painting a huge bulls eye on your home.

I have no porch light on and certainly not a red one. I turn it on if someone drives up. I'm in a rual enviroment an don't even have a streetlight. Darkness is my friend. If they can't see then I can see their light then they see my muzzle flash.

No we do not. We have a small weapon's arsenal in our home. Home invasions are real everywhere. My daughter has a friend from College that had it happen just last semester. We do have s "do not trespass sign" though.

I think it is safe to say that the number here on RP is very close to zero.
There are lefties on here.
There are some (ahem) not smart people on here.
There are a few not smart lefties on here.
But I have abiding faith that no one on here is THAT dumb.

SGT Roberto Mendoza-Diaz I finally get with the "Green Light" (see earlier post regarding green lights. It should look like this) program and you want me to change to red? How about I just get a string of muticolor lights and keep em on year round. That ought to cover everything!
