- Tue, 22:55: A trigger lock comes off my gun as soon as it enters my home, b/c my family's safety comes before your stupid idiotic do-something-itis law.
- Tue, 22:59: Like I need the extra moments it would take were an armed gang to break into my house to get rid of the damn trigger lock. Idiots.
- Tue, 23:00: Yes, let's totally price poor people out of the personal protection market by mandating trigger locks & making it that much more costly!

Dear @househelputah:
Mar. 19th, 2014 08:04 pmI am not going to sign up for your website simply in order to view your listings. Had I been going to buy a home soon, this would have turned me off so completely that I would have gone to a different realtor.
The "help us fight spam" verification is a special sort of icing on that particular cake.
Do not lock me out of looking at your listings by forcing me to sign up for spam from you. Were I listing a home with you, I would be doubly upset.
So, yeah, we wandered down to Mount Pleasant to look at semi-retirement properties today, and I went to the website of one of the houses we saw for sale. It let me look at a couple, but then when I tried to look at another, it redirected me to their "sign up for us!" page and would not let me proceed without doing so. Needless to say, I am miffed. And who knows whether THE HOUSE that we might have bought was there, because I've now been driven away by a frankly ridiculous requirement.
