    I had a similar story a few months ago not in the house but in my wifes Jeep in a parking lot of a local grocery store late at night . We had stopped to pick up a few things so she ran in and I stayed out in the Jeep it was still cold out so I'd had her leave it running .The SRS (airbag) light keep coming on during the trip so I'd leaned over in the passenger seat to reach under and fix the connection . When I glanced up I see a guy slowly making his way down the side of the Jeep and just as he tries the door I sit up with my carry gun point right at him through the window . I don't think I've ever seen a junkie looking guy run so fast . But I realize the rear windows are tinted so since I was bent over he couldn't see me at all until he got to the driver window which isn't tinted as dark . Makes me glad I don't live somewhere it's illegal to carry a gun .

    I had a similar scenario in about 2012, I was replacing the sill on our home and had the front of my house torn apart and night came and was not finished so I put heavy plastic up because it was a chilly night.
    I told my wife we will sleep in the front room with the plastic up just in case by chance someone wanted to break in.
    About 2 AM my wife wakes me up saying she hears foot steps out side, after listening quietly for a minute I heard foot steps so I told her hold on and got up and got my pump 12 gauge shot gun out of corner in the room we are in.
    Right after I grabbed the gun I hear the perp walk up stairs and walking around on front porch , I could hear perp was clearly there because of the composite deck boards on thr porch.
    I yelled who's there twice with no answer and we are about 5 to 12 feet apart so I decided this is looking like this might be a big problem developing so I pumped the shotgun and when I did the perp jump off the porch and you could here perp running up the sidewalk.
    Legend has it that THE PERP IS STILL RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE TO THIS DAY. LOL

      @tidewater5679 Před 3 lety +12

      @Xray Paul Actually, for shotguns. It is a bad idea to leave a round in the chamber. Because depending on the shotgun, it can cause a failure to feed due to the internals being worn down from having one chambered for too long.
      That if you drop it, it can and will go off. Most shotguns do not have a physical block to prevent the firing pin from being rocked forward, even with the safety engaged.
      The most common position to keep a home defense shotgun is known as the cruiser position. Keeping a nearly full tube to prevent too much wear for the tube spring. Generally it is fine to leave it without the safety engaged since there is no round chambered in and in a life or death situation you can pump it and be ready to go.

      Actually, the CDC did a study on gun violence in 2013 under the Obama administration that explored some of the numbers behind defensive gun use. The study as a whole ended up showing that "gun violence" as it exists in the US is wildly mischaracterized by the media and most instance of "gun violence" were either suicides or one on one killings that could have been accomplished as easily with a hammer or kitchen knife as a .22 pistol. As you might expect, the study was never widely publicized! Gotta keep the public afraid of those AK-14s and their fully semi automatic clipazines.
      Here's the link. Summary of defensive use on page 15. www.nap.edu/read/18319/chapter/3#15
      Some journalist at WaPo tried to argue gun rights advocates were misconstrewing the admittedly inconsistent findings, but he also conveniently omits that even the lowest estimate of defensive gun uses more than doubles FBI homicide statistics for most years. Might be all years, but I'm not gonna go back three decades. And once again, most of those are killings that gun bans likely wouldn't have prevented. Here's his article www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/01/16/the-study-that-gun-rights-activists-keep-citing-but-completely-misunderstand/
      Long story short, I think there's solid evidence gun ownership is beneficial to the US. Even when people cite countries with extremely low gun crime.. what are you left with? Normal... crime? So people are being murdered with other things? Yeah, sure, real utopias those places.

I hear folks talk about plate carriers etc. by the bed, but people don't realize just how quick this stuff goes down. When the bedroom and entry point(s) are on the same floor, you don't have time to even put your pants on. An AR or scattergun with a "MANDATORY" light on it is all you have time to grab. I also WILL NOT have an optic on a home defense firearm that doesn't have shake awake on it.

My apartment complex's maintenance man was able to break the door frame and move a security bar in under 1 minute. I think that the dude was trying to steal something that he saw while doing A/C repair for me earlier that week and that he waited until my car was gone, thinking that I'd be in class. I met him at the door to the bathroom with my concealed carry drawn and my pants pulled up but not zipped. No shots fired, thankfully. He claimed to be there to check up on the repairs and hadn't realized that he broke the frame when he was opening the "stuck" door. Really, really weird situation

Middle of the day I was home because I had a torn rotator cuff when I heard a knock at my back door, I thought it was a jehovah's witness because they had been in the neighborhood so I didn't answer, after a minute or so he started throwing his shoulder into the door trying to force it open, I yelled out and he took off.

      German Shepards are great dogs if I ever get another dog it will be a German Shepard.Right now I have a English Setter he is a very good dog my whole yard is fenced and he has the run of the whole yard,and he stops anyone who starts in my gates ,he has a very good temper and he only barks at strangers.he came wandering out of the woods by my home one day nearly starved ,he was just bones and hide,no collar so I kept him and he is a great dog ,I have never taken him hunting ,but he loves to go with me to my neighbors pond up in the hollow next to my house .he likes to run and jump way out into the middle and swim he cracks me up ,I walk him up there in the summer when it is hot out and he run up and over the dam at a dead run and just kinda fly up and over out into the pond then swim out and run back to me and shake off.lol he will do it over and over just like a kid playing at the pool.

      Steven DeAtley Yeah. My big boy Berrin. Who was with me for 12 great amazing years. Best smartest dog I ever met. Just passed last Oct. I was absolutely heartbroken. I cried so hard the day He passed. I was sore the next day. But he went surrounded by my friends. We buried him in my backyard. Drunk as hell. And using 3 of my Ar15s that had surefire lights on them.
      My new GSD is Luca. My friend runs a dog rescue in Detroit. And found him abandoned. Someone cut him up real good. And also cut off one of his ears. Took him a little time to settle in. But he’s the sweetest dog I ever met.

      James Oh, we just did the same to one of our Shepherds last Thursday as we had to put her down. Vet and staff mentioned they'd never seen a man cry like that to my wife and fell so bad for us. There are dogs, and then there are German Shepherd Dogs... Our 2 year old GSD sleeps at the top of the stairs at our bridge forier and nothing is getting by her. She put 4 holes in an idiot that directly walked at my wife while she was walking Ripley at the park... Scumbag changed his course twice to walk at them oncoming on a trail. Sum-bitch had two assholes and a new dick hole after she finally let go, hahahahahaah! Wife was worried animal control was going to take Ripley away. I said what is the scumbag gonna tell them? That he was creeping and planning to assault you after downing 20 beers??? That's one park it won't ever come to stalk again!

      Jeremy Reagan it’s hard to lose our Furry best friends. Especially when you raise them from a little tiny puppy. Berrin was so special. Because I had him when I was still living with my Parents. Before I moved out. When he passed. It was like a chapter of my life closed forever.
      I’m glad I found my new rescue Luca. He help me fill that void. He’s a great sweet German Shepherd.

    Excellent story, Mike. Glad it turned out so well. Thanks for this food for thought.
    A suggestion for advance notice and immediately distinguishing which door someone is approaching. We have Guardline motion sensors, one sensor aimed at each of two entrances, different alerts for front/back and for day/night. Daytime base in the den has two distinct short doorbell chimes. Nighttime base in the bedroom has two distinct long alarms. Praying it's never needed, but if so I'll already be moving to the bedroom rifle safe and then ambush point before a door is kicked. My turf, my rules, no fair fights.
