Robbery in progress at your house, and you're in your underwear???

For those of us who sleep nude, the "tactical" approach is to rush quickly out ... gaining surprise when the BG is distracted by our enormous manhood.

In Fl, your "weapon" has to remain concealed. I'd recommend throwing on a Smartcarry first. Besides, where else are you gonna stow a spare magazine? :eek: :D
 
There again, it depends on the situation!

How cold is it? If you go out wearing nothing but underwear and it 15 degrees F outside, you will be at a disadvantage!

We have a gravel driveway. If I run outside barefooted and have a need to leave the sidewalk and grass and go out into the gravel - disadvantage! Apartment dwellers or those in urban areas might be at a disadvantage running outside barefoot due to the possibility of broken glass, or other 'foot hazards'.

So while your comment might hold true in many cases, it serves to show that in self-defense situations, 'one size NEVER fits all'.

What you're wearing has little to do with what you do. This guy could have been in Armony suit or panty hose - no difference tactically.

Buck naked and blasting is the way I roll! :p
Seriously,if someone was breaking into my cars,he's got a long way to go to get back to a car parked on the street.He's pretty much either dead,or after I wound him,subdue him,nurse him back to health,and torture him in my barn for a couple months,he'll wish he was dead.:D

Some of us are not fortunate enough to own a barn with lots of acreage
 
Also a naked sleeper here... If a BG ever needs dealing with, I figure having two guns out might scare him more :p

But back to topic, being a newbie who had a similar situation with a car alarm, shooting is a big no no in most cases. My alarm ended up being false, but when I went to investigate I grabbed the night stand weapon. I don't feel cars are worth a person's life (yes, even a scumbag burgular), but if you're going to risk running into a determined person who might be armed, you should be ready for the worse case senario. Take yer gun, but only use if the BG engages you. ;)
 
I think of the case where the football player in Miami florida got shot.....I mean how the hell does he confront an armed burglar inside the house with a machete? I know this is off topic a bit but man....I would think that at least he would be licensed and packing, being that he is a celebrity and everything.....
 
When I shoot in the buff, I always shoot "gangsta-gat" syle (90-cant to the left), so the brass doesn't ricochet off any delicate parts.

So ends your PSA for the day.

According to this article, he was likely not allowed to own a gun due to a probation agreement.
 
Live by the sword,die by the sword.I'm not trying to be insensitive it's just that when you run with a bad crowd?????? It wasn't his fault that his house was targeted for a burglary.It wasn't his fault that the burglar's decided to bring a gun but it was his fault for getting into a previous situation that prevented him from protecting himself/family.His best recourse was to not go looking for confrontation when we was unable to deal with the situation.Hey the cops don't respond to a burglary call with machetti's drawn.
 
I don't know much about the guy other than what's been in the news, but from what I have been hearing and reading, it seems like the people who did know him say that he had turned his life around as of late.

I suppose one can use the fact that he chose not to break the law by illegally getting a gun to protect himself as evidence of this.

In any event, I think I'm done with this particular hijack subtopic in this thread.

Carry on.
 
I've got the ultimate weapon for this situation - a decent camera with a nice telephoto lens that produces useable pictures even in very low light with the help of my computer.

I'd rather see the little snot busted and sentenced to be 'Big Bubba's wife' for 4 to 6 years! Besides, I just hate all that crime scene tape in my front yard and the hassle of explaining a dead body, even one formerly owned by a creep with a lengthy record.
 
I was wondering if the guy did the right thing by letting the guy live for breaking into his car on his property??

Another scary person. Of course he did the right thing. Taking a life isnt a little thing. many that think they are mentally prepared find they are not then they get to fight demons.......

I know of no car worth a life, nothing I have is worth that cept my family and friends. Let em take it, killing is last resort, always.
 
but anyhow, tactically I was wondering if the guy did the right thing by letting the guy live for breaking into his car on his property??

I'll play devils advocate here.... If my house/car was broken into, and if I was licensed to have a pistol, I probably would have tried to sneak up on the guy and shoot him dead point blank range, as long as he was on my property and actually in the act of burglary....

I have been travelling for several weeks and not fully up to date on the forums. Today I check and find two real winners!

This is great. The poster is somewhere in NYS, meaning he is already probably in enemy territory when it comes to the 2A and self defense. Then he admits that he thinks we should kill someone if we catch them stealing. Even better he suggests sneaking up on someone committing a crime with the purpose of executing him while in no danger himself.

I hope one of these tacticool wonders actually does get involved in a defensive shooting. We can then have both a criminal and an irresponsible gun owner off the street! Think people. Even if you are dumb enough to believe some of the garbage I see posted here realize it can and will be traced back to you as a part of a criminal investigation. If the police in NY have you involved in a shooting with ANY question to it, and the attitude demostrated in the post will reveal itself in the stress and adrenaline fueled aftermath when the police speak with you, then you can expect your computer to be grabbed and gone through with a fine tooth comb. You will then be in the position of explaining to a jury that while you advised sneaking up on a person who presented no immediate danger to you and executing them you really didn't do it this time!

:rolleyes:

There are so many reasons to close this thread that I can't decide which one to use. Tell ya what; I'll use 'em all.

Closed.
