I was reading another thread and just wondered how many of us are actually prepared. Not some of the time, not most of the time. All the time. I suspect many people let their gaurd down while in their own homes.
But let's consider this:
RIGHT NOW there is an armed intruder entering YOUR HOUSE!.
Were you ready? How close or far is your weapon? Is the intruder between you and your weapon? How about your family members? Would you have had any warning besides the breaking glass or opening door/window? What about if you were not on your computer, but in the bathroom enjoying a magazine and some relief? Or in the shower? Or stepped into the garage to grab something from your car?
Maybe I do sound paranoid, but you may have mere seconds to take action in the event of a home invasion in which the intruder intends to assault you or a family member.
Big dogs are considered by many to be one of the best defense systems, but an armed intruder can dispatch them easily. However, they are a good early warning system and may distract the intruder, buying you critical seconds.
I post this because, although rare, statistics don't matter if your house is the one those two armed fugitives decide to commandeer.
My 10mm is 18 inches in front of me.
Think about it.
