You come into my home, you're gonna have a bad time. If I don't get you the wife will. I'm a pretty damn good shot, and believe it or not, she's better. And she has more rounds in her piece as well.
But material ****? Man, it ain't worth it. I have a good job and good life and yeah, I pay good money for my stuff. But there's not one thing I can think of I own that's worth getting killed or killing someone over and spending time in the court or jail asserting my innocence. I value my freedom and my life way more than a bike that I can just go replace with numerous identical copies of. I guess if that makes me a sheep, so be it, but I don't think it does.
I just hope for Larry's sake that they finished the job before they dumped him at least.

And maybe just one of the bad asses here who want to smoke these scum bags (don't we all?) with their 9 mm for stealing our bikes, cars, or whatever property we have being screwed with and stolen in in an open area or in a public place-don't do it! Screw that!
They ain't robbing you in your home, attacking you family, or deliberately trying to inflict harm on you.
The law aint on your side, and if you value you're freedom, just call 911, write down a plate, or description or these losers and call your insurance company.
You go down there, guns blazing or waving a firearm and then shooting them...
You have just escalated a property theft to a murder-
And YOU are going to prison-
Or having everything you have worked for taken away from you in legal proceedings-for what???
A nice Harley that you have insurance on???
WTF?
Des anyone here really thing these low life's first wanted to steal this bike, then said, "oh yeah, let's go smoke Ol' Larry in his room too...."
Bullshit....
Larry heard or saw this going down from his room, ran out, and get mixed up in a situation he couldn't get out of....

Hurts to read how this poor guys life was taken. I will agree with those who have said we need to make these shitbags know that they are indeed risking their lives by taking our hard earned property.
I just passed through there a couple weeks ago as well as his home town in KS. I'd encourage everyone to learn and understand the FOPA laws as well as the firearms laws of the states that they are passing through.
At some point his life was threatened and ultimately taken and if he were armed it may have made a difference.
RIP and the killers be dammed.

I don't feel this is the proper thread to be debating theoretical situations of defending life or property. We all have different ideas on what we would do. But this is not about us. Let's get back on track & pay our respects to Larry & knock off the armchair quarterbacking.

Sad story with a sadder ending. I hope it was quick and he didn't suffer.
My thoughts are with Larry's family. The only guarantee we get is that this life will end. I hope Larry had a good life, loved, and was loved. It's always too short our time with loved ones. Make the most of it while you can. Hug someone close and tell them.

This just makes me sick. I just got a call from a friend, letting me know what happened.
Larry and I were riding together with a bunch of friends early last month. Could not know a nicer guy.
Still digesting it. So sad, such a waste.
A couple of pics of Larry from just a month ago...
And here's a photo of him thoroughly enjoying the ride.

I live 50 miles from Sikeston and I can tell you that if you are passing threw south east Missouri, be aware. This part of the state is about the half-way point between Memphis and St. Louis so we get their trash plus the local junkies. Heroin appears to be the latest choice of stoopid.
It makes me sick to my stomach knowing this was the outcome. I will continue to say a prayer for the Weaver family. Ride On Mr. Weaver.

We need to bring Ol' Sparky back for these scum - turn it on, light 'em, and fry 'em.
Sincere condolences to Larry's family and friends. Tragic.

His wife is having a small funeral, but asked if we could get together next spring and do a memorial ride for him in East TN, and give her some photos of his favorite places.
I will ask the group if they want to open it to others.
Still reeling from this. It wasn't a month ago that I was sitting with him talking about retirement and what all his plans were.

They use to shoot horse thieves back in the day. Seems fitting to me.
