Family Held At Gunpoint During Home Invasion

This is what we all fear.....

Family Held At Gunpoint During Home Invasion

Thankfully no one was injured......it could have been far worse.

Too bad the mother didn't get to the shotgun before it was taken.

Hopefully they will get an alarm system just in case. It certainly looks as if they could afford one.

OUCH! "Be Prepared"
Same/sililar thing happened to me years ago when I was home on med leave laid up in a wheelchair.
I had two guns handy but they busted in the door and had a Ruger .44 stainless to my head before I could move 3 feet to get my .45acp. No time for nothing. I's a very helpless, sick to your stomach feeling.
It's something I'll never forget and now I'm ready with reinforced doors and no more than a couple of steps away from a firearm. It can happen at any second.

Maybe, the daughter should have had a glock, in the shower with her .....

See. . . . .this is why you shouldn't have a gun laying around loose in the house. It should be on your person where it is accessible when/if needed. Although I don't know if it should be oc'ed or cc'ed!

Y this is a good clean neighborhood. That stuff only happens in Gary!

I think it's jermey or perhaps IndyGu??? that says it all the time.
That is why I'm sending hot lead down stream all the time.

Nah it is not me.
I have 3 trained Dogs at my house. My Lab/mix lays down in front of the door as a trip hazard while my GSD Puppy drools on them and barks like hell distracting them the while the 6 yr old GSD ***** sneaks up and takes a piece out of their hide...

Actually I believe in Modern Materials. It is real easy to harden your house enough to make entry time consuming enough for you to be able to defend it. Even from a deep sleep...

No need for any guns in this situation. No one was hurt and I'm sure they have insurance for their stuff that was taken. Everbody wins.

That is something I hope I never have to face. I am glad you came through it okay.

I don't carry around the house...but I may start with the way things are going as of late with the economy, violence, etc.
