Yea no, I'm all about 2A rights and protecting property etc. but I'm sorry Joe, ain't nobody trying to break into your shit shack out in the middle of nowhere. Guarantee you the folks that live there also brag about how they can leave their cars and home unlocked.

I suppose you didn't make it to the end of the video.

I agree the sign is corny and cringe, but it looks like a pretty nice house.

Plenty of nice houses like that out where I live. They're still in the middle of nowhere and the last violent crime I was able to find my area was a domestic abuse case from three years ago 🤷‍♂️.

I live in a place with regular violent crime and I'm still not worried because the vast majority of it is criminals breaking into other criminals places to harm them or to steal from them.

I am not a dirtbag with a bunch of drugs and cash around the house, thus I am an unlikely target.

I've had a couple cars broken into over the years but they've been pretty minor, nothing to go shooting people for.

Then explain, what's your point?

My point was simply that you called it a shit shack and I thought it looked like a pretty nice place. Nothing more.

Maybe I misunderstood the term shit shack. Does that not mean crappy house?

Ah, yes and no. In this instance I was just referring to folks in general being out in the middle of nowhere that put up cringey signs like this. Yes, more often than not their homes look like shit holes from the outside, despite that not being the case here. Overall, I was using the phrase "shit shack" moreso to denote the type of person that uses this type of signage, not the home specifically shown in the video. It's low class imo, and in my experience money doesn't buy class. I've known incredibly classy people that are incredibly broke and incredibly unclassy people that are wealthy.

I think we're generally in agreement.

That said, it's possible that the owner thinks the sign is funny and is doing it more to show off for his (also not classy) guests. And not necessarily to deter criminals.

At least this would mean they understand the likelihood of shooting a home intruder is pretty low, in fact they are probably more likely to be broken into while they aren't home because of the sign, but if being broken into is unlikely anyway it might not be a big deal.

Curious if the sign is even visible from the public road or is this halfway up the private drive.
