As the proud owner of a beagle, let me tell you that NOTHING, and I mean absolutly NOTHING, from the tiniest field mouse to 20ft Cyborg Zombie Grizzly Bears from Outer Space can get within 100 ft of the house without everyone in the house knowing about it. (Insert dog barking his fool head off smilie here) (As a side note: He has also tried to woe the Grayhound bitch down the street without much success, but I’m sure he’ll enjoy hearing about the father of Werewolf’s dog.
)
As far as what happens next;
First, I get the Mossy 500 that is stored cruiser ready. If the dog is going nuts at the back of house/back door that means that bogies have scaled a 6ft solid wood fence as the gates are locked (so that my 5 year old son doesn’t let himself and the dog out to wander the neighborhood.)
Kids get gathered up and placed behind the bed with Mrs. Scout in master bedroom. Gun safe gets opened and firearms/ammo start getting handed out. Mrs. Scout gets her 20 ga 500, My 12 yo daughter gets her 20 ga Bantam 500, (Along with a couple of boxes of #4 buck for them to share). Since my son got a Rossi Single Shot combo in .410/.22LR, we might just break that out (just so he has something to do/hold onto). I might also grab the 1911 w/ the 5 loaded mags, especially if there were indications that they were already in or attempting to enter the Scout26 abode. (then I also stay in the bedroom.)
911 call to the police, easiest way to do this is dial 911 and drop the phone on the table or floor (that way everything gets recorded too), Lots of police show up in about 5-10 minutes (Found this out when my daughter was 4 or 5 and they taught her about 911 in pre-school, she tried it a home, dialed 911 and hung-up when they answered. It’s funny now, it wasn’t funny then.
)
Mrs. Scout will also have cell phone from next to the bed and will also call 911 but she will stay on the line.
Dog will already be at the appropriate window/door nearest to bogies. I lock the bedroom door behind me and then position myself to maintain observation of said bogies and still cover avenue(s) of approach to “The Alamo”. A Password must be used to approach door to the “Alamo”. If the BG(s) managed to get by the dog, and me with the ~5+ rounds of #4 buck/slugs/00 buck from 12 ga Mossy don’t stop them , then I imagine that the last thing they would see would be two 20 ga shotgun barrels spitting out ~10+ rounds of #4 buck from behind a queen sized bed as they burst into the master bedroom.
If the BG’s survive all that, then heaven help the Police when they show up.
