Well it was a good day. Bought my first suppressor. I was gone from the house a whole 2 1/2 hours. I come home make a sandwich, notice back door open. I go over to shut it and discover it kicked in. My first real adrenaline dump. I am still shaky. 5 hours later.
Crap
I do not recomend entering a house that may be occupied by a mutant zombie biker, but I was already inside. I unholster my CCW and clear the house without issue.
Now for the fun part. Whats missing? All electronics 60 something Playstation games etc. are in proper place etc. I have a Walmart gun cabinet that has my more "PC" and cheaper guns. The stuff that is fine for company to see. Total value of the 3 guns in is less than $600. They only took one out of it. The cheapest money wise one of the bunch, but It was the first gun my wife ever bought me.. A chinese knock off coach gun. (1887) Passing up the Mosin and unfired Rem 870 that betrothed to a member here. (Texasgunlover you shotty is safe) Oh yeah they locked the gun cabinet back and took the key.
I only used it as a barrier against the kids when they were smaller. Thats all for the livingroom.
On to the bedroom. Wife's jewelry is gone. Her Coach and Dooney bags. (I shouldnt even admit that I know what those are.) My watches and Glock 21SF for home protection is gone. This is wierd too: they took the time to remove the M6 light from the Glock. Flatscreen still there.
On to my daughters bedroom
They took my 7 year olds jewelry box. Total value <$100 It just had a very small (think baby) diamond ring ($70ish) that I bought her the day she was born.
Good news is the 1000lbs of browning safe did its job. It deterred the thieves. It went untouched. Most of the sentimental stuff and guns were in there. My current fear now is they will come back with my own gun and force me to open it. The wife refuses to stay with family tonight choosing to stand by her husband. The Mot house is on high alert tonight. We are all gonna be in the same bed mainly for comfort. Foot note: Police response was 51 minutes. At least they responded this time. They usually dont, even with shots fired.
Need to go through files to find Serial # for shotty. But the number 8990 is under the butt pad. Serial number for the Glock 21 SF is PDF 485 I am in the Southeast Texas area so if it pops up in Houston or Beaumont a reward I think is in order.
Stuff passed up: The other two guns mentioned, 60-70 Playstation and Wii games. One of the wife's watches. 100's of CDs. (maybe they dont like my music) The M6 light is the most confusing. Anything else normaly in a house that you would think a thief would want. Small valuables easy to fence were passed up. As well as ten of thousands rounds of ammo and magazines.
We think we know who did it. But we need to be absolutley sure before we make that kind of accusation. Especially because we think its family. I would feel horrible if I was wrong.
Looks like tax refund is going to reinforce door frames, lockable gate in driveway and the film that you put on your windows to make em shatter resistant like a windsield from a car.
Oh well it doesnt feel right without my G21 on my hip. So for gun discussion what handgun for secondary open carry at home? G30 SF, G17, G19, Security Six? Speed Six. Paired with 870 or BCM middy.
Thanks all for reading my tale. I cannot stress enough the importance of having a safe. And dont jack with me right now RSC whatever. It performed its intended duty: to deter a theft. I bought the 6'tall 1000lbs model, and bolted to a slab.
Thank Yall
God Bless
