OREGON HOUSE, Calif.—Yuba County Sheriff Steve Durfor says two robbers impersonating police took marijuana valued at $30,000 from residents who were growing it legally.

The robbers dressed in police uniforms and carried rifles when they raided the home Sunday night in Oregon House, 60 miles north of Sacramento.

They identified themselves as police, then bound the homeowner and four roommates. A resident who tried to resist had minor scalp injuries but declined medical attention.

The thieves stole four pounds of marijuana and 15 mature plants from an outdoor garden.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Melanie Oakes isn't saying which police agency the robbers claimed to represent. She says that could bring the wrong response from skittish growers when real police officers come calling.

That's why I think medical growers should have guns without the repercussions. I believe most medical marijuana lawyers still don't recommend patients and growers to carry guns.

Since it's only legal medically, there is still people out there who treat it as a high profiting good for business and will use violence to obtain it. Patients should have the right to protect themselves, a right that is already given to us by the constitution but I want the state of california to recognize it.

[wpg_breeder]

hahaha my buddy sets up booby traps..... and a well trained pitbull doesnt hurt either!! here the cops that bust growers are called the GREEN TEAm and they mainly go after the hardcore asian commercial house grow-ops and the biker grows they leave the mom and pop growers alone most of the time!

 

[Yellowjacket]

That well trained pit bull will just get shot and killed. Fact! If they are going to the trouble of dressup to raid you a dog isn't gonna slow them down but speed them up. Gotta get gone before "real cops" get there over the gunshot report!

you said it my friend, that's it indeed . .

To the post that said all you will have is a dead pit. I disagree. I think the robbers wouldn't even have gone to that house. They would have picked another. Just because they knew a dog was there.

When using dogs it is always best to have a least 2 but preferably 3.

Years ago I had a friend that had 2 Am Staffs and a german shepherd. They were all friendly family dogs and very well trained. There were 3 things he that he taught them.

1. They would only eat when they were inside. He did this by putting food out in the yard and if they ate it he shot them with a low power (just stinging) BB gun from the upstairs window. He would also have people walk by the yard and throw steak and chicken in the yard and if they went for ..pling. Trust me they wouldn't touch a juicy steak in the woods even if they found it by themselves.

Why? Nobody can poison your dog. Your dog is always on watch. The old poison the dog or make friends with food to get by him to commit robbery trick won't work.

2. He trained them to instantly go for the hand and wrist on anybody that had a gun or drew a gun. The benefits are obvious. There is no way a couple of robbers would be robbing you. Am Staffs are lightning fast. They can be laying on the floor curled up and only look to be the size of a cat. Except when they get up they are 60-70 pounds of pure lean muscle. They can uncoil immediately and hit full speed instantly. I doubt that the average joe robber even practices shooting a gun let alone shooting at and hitting a speeding Am Staff. Especially when it is a life or death moment. And if they get lucky well dog #2 and #3 will not miss and it's going to be ugly.

3. If he said "watch" they would form around him and if anybody took a step towards him..well once again it was going to get ugly. The police go by the rule that 1 trained dog can keep 20 unarmed men at bay from an officer. And they can. Am Staffs will drop kick you with all four feet.

Yes he was a dealer McDope and he thought way ahead of trouble.

So we should be allowed to exercise one freedom or the other, but not both. WTF? I think i will leave your opinion and take my weed AND guns. But like you mentioned, that's just my opinion.:animbong:

I would rather let someone take my plants then have a gun fight. I would rather keep my mouth shut about my grow so no one knows I have something worth robbing.

Also, law abiding citizens owning and or carrying a gun or guns DOES NOT get decent people killed. it gets thieves and would be murderers killed.:character0110:
and what if you are a cannabis and gun enthusiast?
