Home Invasion last night in Vincennes

I wouldn't call you paranoid - I don't answer the door for anyone I don't know, period. Now that walks the line of paranoia, but I'll gladly walk it for one less potential danger.

You seem pretty certain of that, considering your name...

Carry in the house?

jamesg likely thinks you are a paranoid hair triggered gun nut just itching to spray hot lead at somebody.

I, on the other hand, would say you are being wise in addressing your individual responsibility for the protection of your family, your property and yourself.

I find myself reaching for my MP every time the doorbell rings or we have a knock at the door. Wife thinks I am paranoid. I think I will stay that way.

The reason I let my great dane answer the door when I'm not expecting any one. He has scared more than one person off the porch to the sidwalk so they do their talking from at least 10 feet away from the closed screen door.

My 100 lbs Golden Retriever has a booming bark...but he is 15 years old.....and has trouble just walking.

This reinforces our decision to carry in the home, but it also has made the need for training even more critical.

I don't wear my gun in the home, but it is readily accessible since we don't have kids. This story should really reinforce two other issues though: Never, ever open the door to strangers and have a fortified entry for all entry points.

I hate to think of what the outcome might have been had he been there at the time. I'm glad he left Vincennes when he did though. He actually left a bit earlier than would normally have been the case because one of the guys in the house started to have a lot of 'friends' drop by just for a couple of minutes to say hi. He had suspicions that something might be going on and wanted no part of it, so he came back up to Indy earlier than we were expecting. I give him a lot of credit for leaving a bad situation.

I have never really been that concerned just answering the door, I heard this has happened more than once in vincennes recently though

There have been alot of things going on at VU lately. The school put out a bulletin some guy got stabbed last year, some girl got raped last year (I think it was last year) there was a girl that fought off an attacker last month.

this is why we have implemented a golden rule at our house : You are armed from the time you wake up til the time you go to bed and when you do it better be within arms reach. of course it is just me and my girlfriend and we have no children to worry about. people across the street have a high volume of "undesirable" traffic makes me kinda nervous.
