New Guy Sez... Home Def Responses?

Motion sensors, . . . sturdy doors w/sturdy locks and dead bolts on all doors. 1911 within reach at all times.

All of house except my bedroom is fairly well lit with night lights.

Land line and cell phones in bedroom with me & wife.

We have a "plan" worked out together, . . . but we don't leave the bedroom. If we have a home invasion thing going on, . . . they have to come to us and will be greeted by a welcoming group.

Looking for a German Shepherd or similar dog, . . . wife is generally afraid of dogs, . . . but am working on it. Wish I could get an attack rooster :rolleyes:

May God bless,
Dwight
 
Even amateur burglars and methheads have been known to cut phone lines prior to a robbery, so keeping your cell phone in your bedroom is a great idea.

The Judge? Not such a good idea. The Box O' Truth says the .45LC is absolutely reliable as a man-stopper; the .410 either in buckshot or slug cannot be relied upon in any way as a man-stopper. So, if you're looking for a handgun and a snake-gun in the same package, you're good to go. If you're relying on the .410 to stop an attack NOW, you may have a problem.

And no, "How would you like to stand in front of a .410" isn't a valid point.

I keep my 870 in my closet, chamber empty, safety on, with the extended tube filled with 3" magnum 00-buck (15 pellet), with the last round being a 3" magnum 1oz slug, and I have 25 rounds of 2 3/4" 00-buck on a sling next to it.

And if my dog barked every time I fart, the damn thing would break its vocal chords.
 
My mineature Dachshund barks whenever the King of Siam farts!! Yeah, he'll let me know RIGHT NOW if something is amiss. Next up is the Kimber CDP II (185 gr. Cor Bons), closely followed by the Remington 870 loaded with 3" #1 rounds. I have a good LED flashlight and a BIG two bulb sucker that'll blind the guy in the next apartment! There ain't no guarantees but I feel I'm pretty well prepared.
