A good big dog helps too. Mine would probably just lick the intruder and roll over for a belly rub if he came in the house. Her bark is loud and deep tho and would probably keep him from coming in.

My youngest dog will kill whatever come thru whatever door/window and he is fighting cancer. Then you deal with me. His bark scares everyone. Most people refuse to in come in unless I am present because of him. Because his bark and growl.

I have a simple security system. It has entrances covered and motion detectors. It's not linked to any service, but makes a hell of a lot of noise. It also came with security system warning information that is posted in front and back.
I also have a 12 gauge shot gun for home defense. |

Life's not a video game, Rambo. Just because you can hit a bullseye at the range doesn't mean you're ready to roll when you're awakened by an alarm, the sound of breaking glass or a screaming family member in the middle of the night. Is the safety on? Is the gun loaded? Who's in my house? How many? Where are they? What are they doing? Have you thought about what happens if you turn on a light? Will that enable them to see you before you see them? What happens if your gun jams? Will you have the presence of mind to clear it, or just panic? All these things going through your mind when you've just woke up in the middle of the night and your heart is pounding and the adrenaline is pumping, and you've got a loaded gun in your hand. I've been in this situation, and believe me, you will not be as ready as you think. The more training you have, the better. The more familiar and comfortable you are with your weapon, the better. So what if the crackhead intruder can't shoot worth a crap? It's not like he's going to be sniping you from across the street. You aren't looking for a fair fight; you're looking to preserve your life and the lives of your family. |

Real incident - I lived in a shitty neighborhood in Chicago. I had taken the trash out and failed to securely shut the back door. I was in the apartment alone, both my roommates were out, and I heard somebody rummaging around in the kitchen. I knew I had three choices - do nothing, run out the front door, or go for my roommate's gun. I ran for the gun, grabbed it, chambered a round and went charging toward the kitchen. At some point during all this the intruder fled. Didn't take anything I'm aware of and I never saw who it was. False alarm - my infamous refrigerator incident. Short version - alarm went off, I charged downstairs half asleep, saw it was a false alarm, turning the alarm off, accidentally discharged revolver when I tried to decock it. That's the kind of shit that happens in real life when you're half asleep and freaked out. |
