ImageThis is my 4k's companion as well as what protects me and my fam. Once military...military for life. It's even got the front grooves for the laser attachment they sell for it. I have friends & family that are still either active law enforcement or military. Put it like this, it won't be an easy heist if anything did ever go down. Yep, even got video cams around too. I ain't playing...

Oh us civilized folk don't go looking for trouble, some of us just take matters in our own hands. Especially when trouble comes to us & inside our homes, then some of us will take & put our dog (which you just saw a picture of) on them...simple as that. Plus he does'nt require annual feeding...only gets hungry when he has to work. :mrgreen:

    I feel you on that dude. Just early last year I had experienced a break-in while I was at home in my studio laying tracks. I was startled because this happened so brazenly while I was at home.
    To make a long story short, come to find out the police had chased this guy from an apartment complex just a few blocks away. The guy broke a glass panel out of the side door coming into my kitchen. From my basement, it sounded like there was more than one person involved.
    So I lowered the volume of the music to really hear what was going on. I heard these footsteps for about 30 sec. to a minute then everything got silent. I then slowly crept from out the studio and at the same time, yelled briefly to the person upstairs. I then heard a bunch of ruckus going on for a few seconds then silence again. I then went for the front door, open it and saw all of these police officers converging on my property, I was shocked.
    Come to find out, they said they were chasing this guy who had kidnapped a little infant (domestic dispute) from his ole lady and wanted to know if he was inside. I said yes.
    So they went inside but the dude tried to escape from out of the back bedroom he was hiding in, leaving the baby behind. As soon as he jumped from out the window, the police were in the back yard waiting for his a$$. Then the police said the guy was high on PCP. It was a h*ll of an experience I would say the least. I'm just glad they got to him before I did.

Wow!!!!! All I can say is God Bless that you, your family, the baby and even the nut didn`t come to violence or harm just a broken window and fright.

When you come to your end of days you can welcome you did the right thing. :idea:

True that. I tell you what, during the course of this happening, you really don't know what the outcome is going to be. I can definitely say it was devine intervention that took place that night because it could have been a lot worst.

I didn't know that the mention of LEGALLY owning a gun with a permit could cause so much confusion.First of all, you have to pass a background check.You can't have any felonies on your record.You have to take a course in gun training before you could see a permit.You have to know what you can and cannot do. If you don't know the rules you could end up in prison. With all of that being said I DONOT want to take a life. You really will not know what you would do until you have someone sticking a pistal in your face.I don't know what its like in Paris but over here people will car jack you and blow your head off in the middle of the day for some CAR RIMS. You got crackheads just roaming around this city trying to catch you slipping.We have a problem around here with people stealing copper to sell to scrap yards. Well, our rental house which is vacant got hit for ALL of the PIPES under the house.I had to pay to replace all of that shit under our house out of my pocket. If I would have caught that crackhead with those pipes in his hand I would have busted his ass. Some people will kill you if you can not protect yourself. The worst thing in the world is to find out your wife and family got hurt because she could not protect herself when you was not around. Anyway lets get back to showing your studio. I will envite everybody to come to my lovely, nonviolent city of Memphis,Tn. Be sure to visit Graceland in Whitehaven on Elvis Presley Blvd. And come see us on Beale Street at the Hardrock cafe. Never mind the police,they are just there for decoration. I'm sure if you just yell they will come to your rescue ,just in the nick of time.Wherever you are........

It is becoming off topic for sure. Every man makes his own choice. Back to the 4k forum. Hmn if you wish to expand more on your valid point of view lets have a thread on it in off topics forum?

I guess when you have to earn and work for your equipment or anything else in life.It will always be personal. Not that anybody else on here does not work hard for their toys too. Haze ,maybe we need to start a thread on how to avoid this problem in the first place. By the way I will post some pictures of my simple setup later.

Peace,Ground Zero

First, I'll say this, any weapon in the wrong hands is asking for trouble. Second, having respect for this kind of stuff requires a certain mindset. I'm no different than the next man that does'nt have a weapon, except that I deal with it like any other responsible person would. Certain things in this world ain't for everybody cause if it were, we'd have crack heads, murderers, thieves signing up at the local, state & federal policing agencies with our best interest at stake. I have little children that come through on the weekends, so I would'nt jeopardize their lives by leaving something like that exposed so it could do them as well as others harm. Bottom line is...it's put away where no one can get to it but myself. I have an ex marine friend who has tons of weapons at his home (put/locked away of course) but he's also a damn good hunter, fisherman (he's in one of those sponsored fishing tournaments), cook and friend. He's so good he could open his own restaurant or catering business. Aside from all that, we've discussed ventures in entertainment, like opening up a club or recording studio. He does have an ear for music and tries to encourage me to do something with what I'm doing too. It's all about the type of people you surround yourself with that makes a difference. If guns scare you, leave them alone. But like the rest of you here, I'm tired of discussing guns & sh!t. Now what's up with those setups you guys were talking about?

DO you like that motif keyboard and what kind is it? and do you see any difference in the 4000 and the 2500...
