Are you prepared when someone is coming to your home for any reason?

There's a Glock 23 and a spare mag on my person as I write this. I don't come home and assume I'll be safe from the outside world. Since I deal with criminals on a professional basis I know what goes on out there and I know that home invasions and hot robberies are on the increase.

This shows why it's a bad idea to advertise to sell directly from your home.
Makes selling things tougher but avoids stuff like this.
Please please...... magazines. Save the clips for your Garand.

If someone breaks into my house to steal my dogs, I want a front row seat for that show.
I'll even keep the guns put away for awhile just so the dogs can have some fun...
A 75# German Shepherd that thinks her entire mission in life is to protect anything that contains my scent from anything thay doesn't contain my scent and a 80# American Bulldog/Boxer mix that pretty much does whatever the German Shepherd tells him to do.
You want my dogs? MOLON LABE and good luck!

The problem in this particular instance is the poor robbery victims didn't own a dog, they owned merchandise shaped like miniature dogs. If you want protection get a real dog. Those little lap mutts can be cute but aside from a little noise they are worthless for security.
My wife and grandaughter both have standing orders that if anyone trys to break in, grab your cell phone, call 911, hit the floor and cover your ears because i'm shooting to slide lock, slapping in the spare mag and repeating as necessary.

Oh, come on. They're noisy little suckers, not just a little bit of noise, some of them.
I like little terriers. I don't have one right now, I've got a Brittany. She's good at alerting, making a controlled amount of noise (whoof, whoof, grumble, grumble, WHOOF, and that's about it), and making herself sound like she's about twice as big as she is. I don't expect her to fight for the house or the family, though. That's our job. Hers is to make some noise, so we know there's something to pay attention to.
She's a lot better at pointing birds than fighting. That's what I got her for. Doesn't sound like that family got their little dog for a protection/security asset. More like, a pet that produces valuable little puffballs -- like you said above.
That isn't a problem. Why should it be? They're cute little dogs. The problem is that they were selling them from their home and had no plan/means for dealing with the kind of problem that came in their front door. :banghead: That's a problem folks can have, no matter what kind of furred family member they have.
Be Aware!
It's going to be hard to get to your stash of weapons if you aren't carrying and you freely open the door to a couple of BGs.
It seems the lesson is to not be naive. The problem with most Good People is that they think that because they would never do something evil, that no one else while either.

Clearly you've never been on the bad side of a Pomeranian.

I've sold several things from my house. I think I'll change my plan. Whenever I did sell something from my house I was prepared. As far as dogs go, I believe my kuvasz mix would die to protect my but my wire-hair pointer is so hyper he would jump up and poke the bad guys eyes out. In that case, they can have him.
There is a larger city east of me that has a real problem with people stealing house pets to be used for training fighting pit bulls.
The pits are allowed to tear the pilfered dogs apart so the fighter dogs will become more aggressive.

Yeah, I'm a little prepared Smith & Wesson 9mm 16 rounds 1911 .45ACP 7 rounds 2 clips. But heck if they make it in they have to deal with my 70 pound husky but her boyfriend a 102 pound German Shepherd who will try his hardest to make sure me and my wife and his girlfriend are safe and he is also a cute lap dog GRANTED the said lap will go numb in a few seconds from his wieght.

Yea, saw that, and those Jackals are sick human beings.
I wish they'd break in my house and take my 110lb male German Shepherd, just the money saved in food would paint the house.. lol
As someone mentioned above, I'd sit back and watch the show, put the guns away, cause that's what he alerts/lives for. He's my seventh one, and he's 96% spoiled indoor dog. My nephew who graduated from the USAF Academy, who just got accepted for F16's, sent me a car bumper sticker in red, with white letters that read:
~ My German Shepherd is smarter than your honor student ~ love it!
No road rage yet for it.. hehehe

Maybe in California.
I don't feel one bit bad for these people, they did it to themselves by electing the people that took away their ability to protect themselves and their property. I do feel bad for the dogs though, they don't have opposable thumbs to hold a handgun and they don't get to vote.

The two pitbulls that reside in our house are both sweethearts... just don't tell any potential burglars/home invaders that. They're the best kind of alarm you can get, not only do they bark at everything that even comes close to the house (at all hours of the night i might add 
) but since a bunch of morons like to keep them as bodyguards instead of loving animals they have a fearsome reputation, regardless of how sweet they are. If anyone were to come into our home without our permission though, the dogs tempermant instantly turns from sweet to sour and i'd hate to see the two of them coming at me with a bad attitude. At the very least the barking in the middle of the night will give me enough time to grab the 870.

$2500 for a frickin' rat? Are you kidding me?
Seriously, I have an abnormally large and unfriendly lab that sleeps inside with me. I have boomsticks scattered around and my shotty next to my very uncomfortable chair. I live alone and am paranoid. If they come into my house they will be bit repeatedly in the crotch and upper thigh area by the angry dog and me next(yes, I bite). I like my space. My lair if you will.

Thats the least I carry when answering the door. When I'm not home and the doorbell rings my wife answers it with a double barrel shotgun.
Awesome! I just found a site selling that bumper stick. I am putting one on my wife's car. She works at a school
.In my town we had someone's house broken in to, only items stolen. Two 8 week old bull dogs valued at $2000 each. Dogs are family members they will be protected just like any other member of my family.

I read today, that the perp turned himself in, and the dogs were recovered unharmed. Good ending.
