Not welcome on my block, guns or no guns.

I have the beep noise on my car turned on...
when I lock my doors. That way, when I go to leave the car and push the button, I KNOW if it engaged or not, and my wife can hear it, too.

All that says to me is "I'm too lazy to check that my car doors are locked, so everybody else gets to have their peace and quiet disturbed by my car's whooping noise". Unless your car's "beep" is a damned site quieter than any whoop I've ever heard.

And oh, I know the cell phone jammers are illegal, unfortunate as that may be from a purely personal point of view. I believe there has been discussion about using them in hospitals and the like, and about whether private property owners should be able to use them on their own property, e.g. in theatres and restaurants. Perhaps some day we'll have no-phoning areas in public places, and ultimately municipal bylaws prohibiting the idiots from using their idiot gadgets anywhere but in the coat closet. Maybe in the toilet.
