Some one tried to break into my house

All of this happened in Cupertino. Then again, there are punks everywhere, you can't get away from them, and they're mobile too, so even a "good neighborhood" can have mobile crooks looking to score easy targets.

I lived on Tantau Ave and Stevens Creek. I think the Cupertino/Santa Clara border was pretty close, but it's not like SC is a dangerous area either. You just never know. I moved to Sunnyvale last year and now in Mountain View.

Carry in your own house.


By the way, I don't agree with the premise. Deciding where to live involves weighing the pros and cons of many things, including your tolerance for crime.

Deciding whether to carry at home, to me, is pretty much unrelated to the crime level for the most part, unless you live in a war zone like Compton or Hunter's Point. Crime can happen anywhere (even in "safe" places), and how you defend yourself against potential crime doesn't have much to do with where you live. Fortunately it is still your choice to carry at home in Kali.

Don't pre-judge other people's decisions on where they live with statements like "the criminals have you on strings." I live in a very high-crime neighborhood in the heart of the city, but there are incredible benefits that I would never trade to live in the burbs -- I would die of boredom. Other people have different priorities than you.

Small world. The street on which the thefts I spoke of took place is on Tantau - but not on the Steven's Creek side. I know where you're talking about, though. I'm not too surprised - while the houses are expensive around there, it just "feels" like it's not really a super safe neighborhood. Strange - it's a very desirable area for people with kids, as the school districts are supposed to be really good.

So is Mountain View treating you well? There used to be a gun store off of El Camino, but it closed up a few years ago.

Mountain View is okay because it's central to everywhere in the bay area. It's just depressing that I can never buy a house, and I take in a fair amount.

Yeah I remember about 2 years ago the cops were doing some kind of crazy house to house search on Tantau. They had a police dog run the backyard. I looked up and saw cops in the back yard and was like WTF? As soon as I opened the door to go see what was up, they screamed "shut the door, stay inside". My dog was going bonkers.

i got a dumb Q. is it legal to carry inside your house or buisness without any kind of licence?

Yes. In the business you need the owners permission.

[ar15barrels]

Yes. In the business you need the owners permission.

20 year bump on this one?

[k1dude]

Holy necro!

Good catch. I didn't even notice until your post

[G-forceJunkie]

Sorta. You can carry at work, with the owner permission, only in areas not open to the public. You could carry behind the counter of jewlery store, not in front. You could carry in the wharehouse that is "employee only". You could not carry out in the public accessable areas like a lobby, front store room, etc. Just because it is privately owned propery, if it is "public use" the owners permission does not circumvent the fact you cannot carry in public without a ccw. A similar example: You can carry in your house, and in your fenced backyard. You cannot carry in your un fenced front yard where the public has access.

If you are employed by someone else then you need the business owner's permission and to be safe,
it should be written down and signed.
