Meh. I was just playing along with the scenario.I'm a little baffled by the level of fear demonstrated on this forum. I know, you call it preperation - whatever. Where the hell do you people live that you wouldnt even go outside of your own house at night becuase there was a sound out there? Or that your primary reaction to hearing noises outside is to grab a gun?
Apparently there IS a such thing as being too careful. "Did you hear that honey? A sound outside. I'm getting a gun!"
WTF?
I know this is a gun forum, but is there anyone who finds this kind of behavior a little out of whack?
In real life:
- Strange noises outside BEFORE bedtime, I'd investigate and still be armed for the day. Probably just a dog, some critter, or a neighborhood kid.
- Strange noises outside AFTER bedtime, and they'd better be LOUD to wake me up. I can see most of the yard from the safety of the house, either with floods or cameras. I've only gone out once or twice to check the shed, garage, or car. All of which I can see from the house, but I went to check the locks AFTER I saw it was clear.
