Ok this isn't a "What If?" this a real situation it's going on right now.
Here's what background I have;
My SIL is on his way back to prision for 5 to 8 years, the only reason he's out is because the PO wanted him to help W/ the kids while mom recovers from surgery He's become increasingly abusive to DD & her kids as the date for him to turn himself in approaches. Recently the abuse has increased to the point that my wife believes that he is a threat to DD & the kids.
This morning she contacted SILs PO & made a formal complaint. The P.O. promised her anonymity ( SIL has killed people for less). & went ahead & investigated the complaint, W/in an hour of the investigation DD told DW to becareful that SIL didn't find out she called the P.O.
If DD knows it's not unlikely that SIL could figure it out.
Here's what we're doing DW Has been instructed to be armed any where she's legally able to, I normally don't carry in scrubs starting tomorrow that changes I also will be armed 24/7 until SIL is in prision.
Situational awareness has gone to DEFCON 2. Door doesn't get opened after dark. dogs are an EWS.
Not sure if varied routes to & from work & school are worth it we're still going to the same place.
I THINK our biggest threat is at home , we're not gangbangers we don't go out partying I doubt a random drive by that got us BOTH would be credible, the cops would go straight to him or DD would kill him. But a home invasion gone bad.... that he might get away W/.
OK guy what am I missing, what can we do better? definetely would like to here from SM on this one
ETA I'm not sure if a long gun would change the situation in my favor I can't carry it around my house and accomplish any thing & I certainly can't carry it outside the house so is there any point getting out of the safe?
Also SIL won't be the actual actor he has other people who handle that for him , so I can't even just keep an eye out for him although his little brother were to show up anywhere out of the ordinary I'd seriously consider shooting on site
