Let's talk about house guns

2nd is a piss hard on.

 

Home invasion. One of the 'gentlemen' left several teeth behind. He fared slightly better than his buddy.

I agree about the dog but at that time in my life I was living in apartments and pets were not an option. I have added two small dogs to the home defense arsenal.

(for the record I own several shotguns, 3 rifles, and 3 handguns. inside my home I would always reach for the bat first.)

 

Over the past year we've had 8 home break-ins that I know of in our relatively small neighborhood. Somebody has been studying our neighborhood pretty well. The neighbors directly across the street were broke into with their Boxer free in the house, he was unharmed, but didn't stop anything from being taken. So i have my doubts if the burglar is good with dogs, but it all depends on the dog.

Nextdoor.com has been growing around our neighborhood for everyone to post if they see something, I like it except for the realtors posting crap as another place to advertise.

 

That's a sing it's time to move.

 

Am i the only one whose dogs sleep through the night and DON'T wake up barking every time they hear something?

My first reaction when our dog wakes up isn't "OMG! SOMEONE'S BREAKING INTO THE HOUSE!" It's usually, "SHUT THE FUCK UP! YOU'RE GOING TO WAKE UP OUR KID!" Maybe he's scaring away a burglar every couple of months, but I think it's more likely one of my neighbors shutting his car door after last call.

 

Amen. Threads like this give me a deeper appreciation for rural life.

 

I love my neighborhood and house too much. Neighborhood is having our first get together as a community in a week to discuss. I think most everyone is jumping on the alarm system bandwagon. My guess is it's somebody within a mile or two.

Worst part is that the neighbors laptop was traced down to it's craigslist ad author with many other "hot" looking items. Detectives were handed this valuable info, but will not take action cause their case loads are too big already. So, it's up to us to stop this crap.

 

I got detectives to follow up after outgoing mail with checks were stolen from the mailbox. Perp tried washing the check and cashing it at our bank. Teller made a copy of her license so I had a photo and address. PD didn't want to do anything so I told them I'd take care of it and to expect a call with suspect or suspects being held at gunpoint. They agreed to pay a visit and arrested her. She was out the next day but at least they did something.

 

Here's something with a rail.

I love to fantasize about saving my family from a scary intruder. I just hope it never happens for real. Probably cost a fortune in dry wall repair and paint.

 

Not so much for the high cap rifle of pistol where its important..its pertaining to the shotgun thats slow to reload, and only has 2 to 5 rounds to begin with in its mag tube.

 

Sounds like time for a posse with the broadcast news in full tow...

 

Been thinking on this recently, current plan is to finish the 10.5" 300blk AR pistol build and use that.

 

Subsonics and a suppressor:up:

 

have we debated "stopping power" yet?

 

Slow to reload? I used to be able to shoot doubles on pheasants with a bolt action shotgun, running a pump is pretty quick and a semi aint slow either. And shooting a pheasant at 10 yards will damn near cut it in half.

 

Just for motivation purposes.


A good loaded up plate carrier(AR500 III+ plates) might be handy too..jus in case.

 

:up: You never know

 

And I thought I was paranoid owning 2 bullet proof vests.
