    Do you shred your gun related mail?

    Just curious how many of you shred the front page of your gun magazines/catalogs/NRA when it has your address on it? I recently started doing this since you never know who is going through your trash, but was curious if this was common practice by people on this board. I figure it's a good idea with what seems like an increase in burglaries.

    I shred everything that has my information on it. EVERYTHING.

      I don't, but that's a pretty good idea to shred any gun related materials that are going in your recycle bin.

        I do. I usually just tear off the part that has my name/address on it and shred it.

          Especially if you also put your bottles and cans in the same bin since I notice people going through people's recycle bins on trash nights. I don't want to the be victim the time they decide to grow some balls and graduate from can collecting to breaking and entering.

                  I burn everything in the fireplace.

                  Don't want The Penguin to glue all of the shredded pieces back together.

                    I shred all personal information before throwing it away.
                    I'm only smiling at you while you talk to me because it's hilarious that you really think I give a crap about you.

                    As I've gotten older I thought I was gaining patience, then I realized I simply don't give a crap.
