Intruder Alert *checks clock* what time is it? *Listens* did I lock the door? *goes back to sleep* *Jenee dies* *Jenee is incapable of retaliating *Jenee is incapable of getting angry* *Jenee doesn't even know she was murdered* *Marc calls police* *Police investigate* Scenario 1 - police find murderer and prosecute Scenario 2 - police find murderer and s/he is aquitted Scenario 3 - police do not find murderer Results: Jenee is still dead and doesn't care cuz she's on her way to her next life.
Yeah, this. No warning shots, no "charging the shotgun" to scare the intruders off. If all they want to do is steal stuff, that's what insurance is for.
That's why it's a good idea to sleep in workout shorts and a t-shirt. Also do you have a light on your .45 or a flashlight next to your .45? Most violent home intruder encounters (as opposed to a home invasion) occur in low light conditions. Just something to think about.
I have an LED flashlight. Used to have as Maglight (the billy club sized one) but the LED gives a better field of light. I wouldn't mind a light on the pistol, I guess, but it's a series 70 Gold Cup with no rails. I learned all this stuff before gun lights and lasers were a thing.
In forbin's case no jammies would scare off most intruders. How about Intruder Alert Alexa: activate self destruct Weird lights. Weird music. And Samuel Jackson counting down.
that's what your fucking mouth is for. Here's my daily carry: Coast HP1 fucking awesome light for cheap. knurled grip is a little scratchy but you're less likely to drop it.
I carry one of these. https://www.amazon.com/Streamlight-85400-Scorpion-Tactical-Flashlight/dp/B00HZAXAW8
For what it's worth, mine can strobe, which will disorient the hell out of a fucka and send cats screaming.
"I'm sick and tired of these motherfucking intruders in this motherfucking house! You've got 10 motherfucking seconds to get your motherfucking bitchass out of here before this motherfucking house blows on motherfucking principle!"
Good idea. Okay, still good. [looks around at empty room] Fuck. Anyway, still makes sense. Wise. You son of a bitch, you've killed us all.
sweet! Beats that tacticool flashlight that you can freeze in a block of ice and run over with a tank and shit! Worst Flashlight Ever - YouTube
