Home Invaders grab kitchen knives and try to get to home owners

[Paul30]

Two home invaders grab butcher knives and try to get to the home owners. Makes one want to hide the butcher block inside a cabinet so they don't have immediate access.

Makes one want to carry a firearm at home. Like I do.

Homeowner had been robbed previously so he decided to install a surveillance system.

A shotgun would have been cheaper and far more effective at stopping the threat.

I was born and raised there. . Leaving isn't always an easy thing to do, financially speaking, because of the relatively high cost of living. It took my parents a long time to get out.

You guys are missing the point. We HAVE to have laws about keeping knives of all shapes and sizes required to be stored in safes. They're dangerous!!!

NO... Knives need be made of plastic, and not sharpened. There needs to be a 10 day waiting period, and background checks too.

But then he wouldn't get to watch himself get stabbed. Shotguns are so Neanderthal. Defending yourself with one sounds like something someone from Indiana would do, not a person from a civilized place like California.

Apparently Mr. Singh doesn't under the basic idea that video surveillance systems do not prevent anything. They can only (hopefully) help identify the scumbags after the tragic (perhaps fatal) events have transpired.

Proactive is always a better approach than reactive.

Then again, it's libtard California. IF one were callous and snarky, one could opine they're getting what they've asked (and voted) for.

 

[Birds Away]

In California they talk about the poor, unfortunate victim. In Indiana we talk about the poor, unfortunate criminal who brought a knife to a gun fight.

Shotguns are so Neanderthal, but in Indiana they are more common since we are the only state in the union that doesn't trust a man to hunt with a real rifle, unless you build a pistol and put a sig arm brace on it. Hey, I could use my new 300 whisper / blackout for home defense as well as deer hunting this year. If 30 rounds can take a deer down it should take down a few home invaders.

“I don’t know what to do,” Singh said. “You don’t feel safe in your own house.”

Here's a thought: Buy a gun and teach your family how to use it. Better yet, buy several so they can carry while at home. The sad fact is, human nature is not always good. The bad side exists everywhere and you need to have the means of defending yourself against if if you encounter it.

Umm, maybe lock the doors and windows. Call the locksmith and go buy yourself a Home Depot gift card.

I got it! California should just outlaw private ownership of knives! Problem solved!

Those only slow them down.

Windows can be broken.
Walls are only drywall, studs, and siding.

Pssh, my walls are 3 brick thick and plaster.

Yes, I live in a castle.

 

[Mark 1911]

Go ahead and pick up the knife. Makes my decision that much easier.
