I can just imagine your house. Trip lines throughout the entire perimeter. A glass of water and a gernade on your night stand, just incase society comes after you.
Not quite. Good locks on all the doors and windows, security system that I use, 2 dogs that stay inside at night, motion sensitive security lights on the front porch, on the back deck, and on the shed. 12 gage Remington 870 pump action shotgun with a 20 inch smooth bore slug barrel in a hand made gun rack behind the headboard of my bed loaded with #4 high power pheasant loads. Good penetration at close range but wont over penetrate a wall. I also keep my 9mm and .45 loaded but locked in my gun safe in my closet. If I have time I'll grab one of those as a backup piece to the shotgun.
Maybe you think all that stuff means I'm paranoid. Well I've had my home broken into before on 2 seperate occasions before I got the alarm system installed. Both times me and my shotgun stopped the crime in progress without having to fire a shot even though one of those times the guy was armed himself. I got the drop on that guy in my garage and had the barrel of my gun to his head before he could even reached for his gun. Both times it took over 30 minutes before the cops showed up even when my wife at the time told the police I had the suspects held at gunpoint.
The point of all this?? I am prepared to defend myself, my family, and my property. I have thought about what I will do if something happens and I have a plan to deal with a situation if it occurs. Just like every person should have a plan in the event of a fire, you need to have a plan in the event someone breaks into your home. Kinda makes sense huh?
