What if...

[JJGatesE30]

So, how prepared are you?

You are at home alone at night, you have just eaten dinner and perhaps had a few beers. You go in to your bathroom to take a big...break. This particular break is extra time consuming and your thoughts wonder (this is actually where this post was conceived).

Just then, your door is broken down forcibly and you hear unfamiliar voices in your house. What are you prepared to do?

since i have no kids, non of my friends have kids, and non of my neighbors who might be in my house have kids... i may or may not have guns stashed in places i will be able to find before the bg. if thats the case i can get to one of them before they know whats there i hope ill be good to go... if its really bad, run out the damned door!

Lock the door and if anyone breaks in to get at me, they will be wearing what I ate earlier that day. -faced, literally!

 

[infidel]

Open the door. The aroma will clear them out.

There just may be an illegal shotgun right behind the door, and wifey is an excellent turkey-shooter.

NOT something really worth advertising on a public forum...

Throw the first thing you can find.

I knew a guy once who was so paranoid about something like this that he used to take one pants leg off so he could fight or run rather than getting caught with his pants around his ankles.

You have come this far, pics please.

 

[beararms1776]

Ask em if they could come back in about 10min. or so.

There just may be an illegal shotgun right behind the door, .

Way to get investigated. If you own something like that don't leave a trail

I carry a gun on me from the moment I get up in the morning until the moment I go to sleep. (Other than showering, then it's just there in the bathroom with me.
There's a pump shotty sitting just outside the bathroom door, locked. (The key is always around my neck. If I can get that to before the BG know where I'm at then it's really on, but even with my pistol in hand it's on.

Chilling Tapes Aired in Conn. Triple-Murder Trial

Hey guys, not at all an unlikely scenario!

well i can tell you wipping my ass would not be a priority at all. and since my s*** dont stink, i couldnt just scare them away with odors.

I have at least one gun with me at ALL times, yes: shower, sex, toilet, eating, sleeping, swimming, etc. and I have made sure im very accurate with everything I carry. My wife is also VERY versed in our household Emergency plans, and we do practice drills regularly. I think it would be a hard fight and end badly for someone and maybe all, but there would be a massive battle, I can assure you of that.

Well, currently, I guess I would just have to come out swinging. The place we are in is a not that much bigger than cardboard box; The house I am preparing, will take more than a kick to put the door down.

Anyhow, anyone whose coming in, we'll know before hand what will happen to them, since Im making the property have that "Wrong turn" look.


I'll have a sign that says "Im not going to call the police if I catch you".

 

[Stschil]

I'll just call good ole 1911 and let the BG wait for it's response time at over 800fps

 

[Vince49]

Close at hand.

Let's just say that the Glock pictures I have posted here are not the first or only firearms in the house, nor are they centrally located. What I have posted is only what we have acquired since April of this year. Neither are firearms our only means of defense. I have also been shooting at least twice a week for the past few months and while by no means a Dirty Harry at least now all my hits are in the kill zone.

 

[Lucas156]

so Im assuming its already too late to your pants?

 

[eldirector]

I'm home alone? That's exceedingly rare. But, I'll play along....

Likely wait them out. If the door opens, bang. Relocate to a phone, dial 911, and defend that position. In reality, there is no "kicking in" any exterior door. I'll have at least enough time to assess and relocate before anyone gets through.

Change the position to home with family, and not only will I have backup, but even *I* will not come between my wife and her "cub"!

Well considering my bathroom is right off my bedroom at the back of the house and assuming I've had a few beers (as in your situation you described), I'd open the door take about two steps, grab the 12 gauge thats loaded with 3'' 00 buck, point and shoot.

Sober, step out, take about four steps and grab my 45 thats in my duty belt thats hung up, and send a few Gold Dots their way.

 

[IndyBeerman]

Well considering that I have two locked full length screen doors with the screens permanently removed and thick impact resistant glass in them, I'll have some advance notice of anyone trying to gain entry.

Pitty the poor fool that still decides to gain entry after making that mess and noise to alert me what is going on.

 

[Joe Williams]

Turn off the bathroom light, lay down in the shower, and hope Cathy and Sean can fight them off.

 

[gohard43]

Well, to be honest I sometimes don't have my gun on me when I'm walking around the house or in the bathroom....so I may be screwed. I just don't think anyone would try to break in or come any farther after my dog (pit/boxer) starts barking. Best alarm ever made!
