      It’s basically advertising that there are guns to steal in the house.

      My mom’s neighbor has one. And by neighbor, I mean it’s hanging on the door of a garage in the back of an alley, and his house is 10 minutes away. Not like he’d be there to call 911 most of the time anyway, I think I only saw him 3 times in 16 years of living there lol

      Yes , and usually has a picture of a pistol pointing at the observer. Frequency of use varies from place to place.

    This reminded me, does anyone know what the profit margin on ambulance trips are? They must surely be outrageous, but to what degree?

      Many years ago I was run over by a car, the charge of the ambulance was $800 USD, the total hospital bill for the 4 hours I was in “observation” was $28,000. I did not have medical insurance at that time.
