Where do you stash the Wife and Kids in case of intruder

[jhunter]

It might be dumb, but our plan is to stay where we are, keep quite, get guns, dial 911. One gun in each night stand. Sit up in the bed and wait for the bedroom door to open. Its locked, so by the time they get in, they will be in trouble. Of course we do not have kids yet in other rooms, so they can take what they want in the rest of the house. Hopefully the cops will get them on the way out. If we had kids in other parts of the house, the plan would/will of course change.

hey doc2005, chill out, make love not war ! them poor hounds don't deserve shootin for answering the call a' nature ! have a word with the owners -and if that don't work- shoot them !!!! dogs are better than people.......

 

[Deaf Smith]

What? Why my wife is like Mira Sorvino.. (Meg Coburn) in 'The Replacement Killers". She don't get stashed anywhere!

 

[GlenJ]

Since just my wife and I live here she'll be armed along with myself barricaded in the bedroom. The phone will be on speaker to 911 recording me yelling "I have a shotgun and fear for my life" Hopefully that's all the it will be recording.

 

[Deaf Smith]

No no Glen. Where is the spirit of the 300! Say, "I have a shotgun.. come and take it".

She will be stashed in back of an AR-15, I will be trying to pry an 85 pound American Bulldog and an 80 pound Rottweiler off a fresh corpse before they eat it.

hey, that sounds like my house! you're alright, trueblue1776.

 

[texas bulldog]

my wife is just as likely to shoot the intruder as I am.

you too, Mannlicher!

 

[Alphazulu6]

My wife has her own gun. She would be pissed if I told her that she couldnt get any of the action

 

[chrisyuk]

deaf smith and glenj, lovin ya work guys....

..... make sure you sound very sincere when ya yellin the ' fear for my life ' thang !!!!! 300 ah, what a movie. anyway, the disturbing thing for me is that if my wife had a gun i'd probably be tryin to bribe the gezzer on the pearly gates to let me in right now after staggerin home drunk last night...... yep, come to think of it for a week every month i'd be sh*tin it.....

I'll renovate my house with a Saiga-12 with a 20 round drum.
Or not.

Wife and kids go into the far bedroom at the end of the hallway. There is a bathroom in that bedroom that they can go into. I cover the hallway from the doorway of the other far bedroom. They need to get through me to get to the wife and kids. My wife doesn't shoot, so I won't hesitate to lay down a lot of lead.

My fiance will shoot at the range and stuff, but she is of the type that would freak out and panic to the point she could not even move her arms. In fact I'm not sure she would be able to even dial 911. So this leaves me with the responsibility I will swear to do when I marry her. Protect her. Like Happybrew, I will lay down the lead!! Our Bedroom has the bathroom connected to it, and in that bathroom is a window to escape, and a closet which will host my Gun Safe. It will be the safest area to retreat to and I can stick in Bedroom and protect them from there.

 

[Deaf Smith]

Chris,

Just cause I yelled, "Molòn lábe" does not mean I do not fear they may try to harm or kill me & family. Fear takes many forms. And one learns to turn fear into anger if they want to prevail in a fight.

Problem with you guys is ya just ain't readin' the news. Any mideast terrorist will tell ya the correct place for the ladies an' the kids is out in front, soakin' up the bullets. Then ya can parade the bodies on TV an' talk about them "Human rights abuses" ..

That may be so, but in those countries one is allowed more than one wife at a time. I don't think many of us have a spare wife sitting around to assign this task. In Western countries, multiple wives are obtained by divorce and remarriage. While I'm sure that there are plenty of people who would like the ex-wife to act as the bullet sponge in the event of a home invasion, in most situations they are not there when a person might need this service.

I'm trying to picture someone stashing me in the closet.

Might want to takes their chances with the bad guys.

Well the ideal is to hunker down with family behind you. A couple of locked solid core doors between you/threat as well as a solid old dresser. With Police less then a minute away.
My reality is response code III is over 20 minutes. There is a lot of wildlife/other stuff possible.
So it winds up when things go bump/ourdoor alarm/dog/other signal me that something is wrong.
Wife has shotgun/backup I put on body armor,vest that has G21 and spare mags (for it and AR) AR with flashlight. Did I mention cell phone? TWO??? Yep one each (on vibrate of course) I often wish I had shotgun as it has always been a coon/skunk/deer (didn't shoot the 5 deer that bedded down outside my bedroom window) Figure fair test I was able to get up/dressed/wife set up/outside/around house and still the deer were laying down when I lit them up.
