Out of curiosity, how many of us have actually cleared our homes over a potential threat? Let's have some learning stories.
What time of day was it? How many rooms? Were you stealthy or dynamic?
What firearm and/or accessories did you use?
Was there a confrontation?
What were your in-place defenses? Do you have barricades set up in your home?
I'll start.
When I was eighteen, around three a.m. in the morning, in a real nice suburb, my mother calls me from her bedroom. Says she heard a bang so loud that she thought someone had kicked in the garage entry downstairs. I grabbed my K-bar (all I had in my room), made my way to her room, and was handed Dad's Glock 27 and a Pelican LED flashlight.
I took both of my dogs and cleared seven rooms, sending the dogs in first, then button hooking in the doorway and checking corners.
All of this in my boxers.
Turns out a tree limb had fallen from the neighbor's oak tree and hit the side of the house.
Still pretty hair raising. Talk about pucker factor.
