Home invasion stories

[GeorgiaHunter]

That's a good point looking at it from both sides. However you never know what that persons intentions are besides just stealing a tv set. As far as I'm conscerned, they're in my home when I know they shouldn't be and they know they shouldn't be.

I have a rule about snakes. If it's poisonous, it dies. If it's in my house, poisonous or not, it dies. The same rule applies for home invaders. So yea, I think I agree with you.

Home Invasions are very violent in nature. Often you will face multiple heavily armed opponents. Your are going to be behind the proverbial eight ball. These guys are not coming in to just steal your TV set!!!!!! If they only wanted your TV set then they would wait until you left your home. These men come with 110% evil intent. They will terrorize, blunder, rape, and murder your family.

My primary HD weapon in this situation in my G17. Unlike the AR or the 870 it is usually close by when I'm at home and easiest to get to. I selected this pistol I want to be able to fire as many rounds as quickly as possible in hopes to be able to turn the tide back in my favor. I keep a 33 round mag in it at home. In this situation I don't want to have to reload if possible. I believe that if the perps are met with a hail of gunfire upon kicking down the door they are going let self preservation kick in and go find some easier pickings somewhere else.

Well done on this post! If someone is kicking in the door with their buddies they are not there to see what color you painted the dining room. They are there to hurt you, and badly. More often than not they know exactly what you have (drugs/meds/guns/money/jewelry) and are gonna cut to the chase pretty quickly. They will tie you up, beat you, rape you, and or kill you. You can't reason with EVIL! My family has instructions on what to do. I have firearms present to quell a threat (God forbid!). You cannot hesitate to shoot a threat. Also if you had forethought to "pick" where you will shoot an intruder ie. foot, arm, leg, you WILL have a good bit of explaining to do. It will be seen as you were trying to make someone suffer or "teach them a lesson". Bad idea!

Once many years ago back before cell phones my wife and I were sleeping and my dog barking woke me up. It was about 3 A.M. I looked out the window and saw a very large black gentleman walking towards my front door.
As soon as he got to the door I slung it open and stepped out with my 357 at the ready and the guy froze in place. I asked him what he wanted and it turned out he was off duty Atlanta P.D. whose car had broken down and we were the only house in the area at the time.
I wound up giving him a ride home and he asked me on the way . What would you have done if I was a bad guy? I said I would have buried you in the woods with the rest of them!

ive pulled a gun twice in my life on someone. both times i was standing my ground and NOT the aggressor. both times ended without a shot being fired. both parties involved quickly forgot about what problem they had with me and we went about our business. the cops were not called because no crime (or at least nothing important enough to report) happened.

i have had two success stories, i consider my offenders to have a success story because they arent worm food

Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Goldilocks. She went for a walk in the forest. Pretty soon, she came upon a house. She knocked and, when no one answered, she walked right in.

At the table in the kitchen, there were three bowls of porridge. Goldilocks was hungry. She tasted the porridge from the first bowl.
"This porridge is too hot!" she exclaimed.
So, she tasted the porridge from the second bowl.
"This porridge is too cold," she said
So, she tasted the last bowl of porridge.
"Ahhh, this porridge is just right," she said happily and she ate it all up.
After she'd eaten the three bears' breakfasts she decided she was feeling a little tired. So, she walked into the living room where she saw three chairs. Goldilocks sat in the first chair to rest her feet.
"This chair is too big!" she exclaimed.
So she sat in the second chair.
"This chair is too big, too!" she whined.
So she tried the last and smallest chair.
"Ahhh, this chair is just right," she sighed. But just as she settled down into the chair to rest, it broke into pieces!
Goldilocks was very tired by this time, so she went upstairs to the bedroom. She lay down in the first bed, but it was too hard. Then she lay in the second bed, but it was too soft. Then she lay down in the third bed and it was just right. Goldilocks fell asleep.

As she was sleeping, the three bears came home.
"Someone's been eating my porridge," growled the Papa bear.
"Someone's been eating my porridge," said the Mama bear.
"Someone's been eating my porridge and they ate it all up!" cried the Baby bear.
"Someone's been sitting in my chair," growled the Papa bear.
"Someone's been sitting in my chair," said the Mama bear.
"Someone's been sitting in my chair and they've broken it all to pieces," cried the Baby bear.

They decided to look around some more and when they got upstairs to the bedroom, Papa bear growled, "Someone's been sleeping in my bed,"
"Someone's been sleeping in my bed, too" said the Mama bear
"Someone's been sleeping in my bed and she's still there!" exclaimed Baby bear.

Just then, Goldilocks woke up and saw the three bears. She screamed, "Help!" And she jumped up and ran out of the room. Goldilocks ran down the stairs, opened the door, and ran away into the forest. And she never returned to the home of the three bears.

I thought for sure Goldilocks was gonna get blown away at the end !

I don't care if I left a trick-or-treat size bag of Skittles sitting in plain sight and someone kicks my door down in a desperate need of a sugar fix. If you invade my home for one Skittle it would never "haunt" me to plant you. I sincerely hope I never have to pull the trigger on anyone but whatever reason they use as an excuse for breaking into my home is obviously justification enough to them to risk their life, and being inside my home is justification enough to me to end it.

There are no two sides to a break in that are both justified. If you break in, you get shot. Period.

Can I Get an AMEN?

Sure this has been said many many times before. I want to use lethal force as much as a sane man wants to die. Thing is, there are vehicles in MT driveway. This right there tells the average burgular that someone is present inside, and their life could be in jeopardy. Someone afraid to die or kill would simply scope the house, and wait til the house is empty. Someone who decides to break in despite that information isn't simply after my TV or kitchen set up, they know what could happen and are prepared. I have a 6 year old daughter, 1 month old son, and beautiful fiance that I love dearly. If someone breaks in, there is no subduing. There's a hail of gunfire that I would hopefully be on the winning end of. As far as justifying the number of rounds and the homicide, they knew my house was occupied, I was in fear for my life. My TV I can replace, my family I can't.

Never had to discharge a weapon but twice I had to pull it to defuse a situation . First time I was sleeping and my son then 5 woke me up and said he could here someone trying to open our front door at 3am. I got him and my gf to the safety place told her call police , took the maverick 88 creeped out the side door went around the side and once I saw him I pumped it one good time and the sound made him turned around barley standing on his own two feet and asked me why I was in his backyard. Turned out to be a intoxicated neighbor , that eventually pissed himself in the back of the police car on his way to the drunk tank.

The 2nd was actually before xmas a few years back . Myself and my GF at the time were out alone for the first time since her son was born for dinner, movie and xmas lights. We stopped at a gas station off of Peachtree ind . A guy came up to me and said he would pay for my gas with his credit car and I could give him the cash with a 50% discount. I know that scam and wasn't about to rip some poor sucker off that was jacked for his gas card. I told him no thanks but he kept pushing . I finally asked nicely for him to get out from between my car and pump and away from me. He started making threats under his breath as he walked away but I didn't think too much of it. A few minutes later my gf says that guy is coming back with a friend and a pipe in his hand. I told her to get in the car call 911 and then stopped the gas from going in my car and at that time said come here cracka I have something for you b****. I pulled my G19 took aim at him and told him to stand back. He and his ghetto buddy took off into the apartment complex behind the gas station. The cops came took a report and a few weeks later I got called and asked to make a positive ID. I gladly did and filed charges against him and he took a plea bargain for a 2 years sentence in jail . Sometimes the system does work
