Home invasion stories

MMatt30 said:
If you watch the news and read the paper the trend with most violent home invasions is that it is a "crew" of 2-4 perps. You can most definately expect to face handguns and probably at least long gun.

Read the second paragraph. The very definition of the crime involves multiple perps.

The big trend here in clayton county is the bad guys dressing up like cops. They dress in tactical gear and kick in the door yelling "police". The poor people dont know its not the real police til they are tied up and watching them trash their house. Every time the people are 3 or 4 deep all with pistols and sometimes rifles. There is one crew of 5 people that have been doing that for a while. I dont think the police have cought up to them yet. Crazy world we live in.

Yeah, that's all I could find as well. I never really gave it much thought that this stuff happens as violently as it does and apparently as frequently. Seems to be the break ins that happen around here happen during the day when folks aren't at home. It definitely makes one rethink their home protection plans.....ie guns easily accessible throughout the house, etc.

This is something that has captured my attention over the last few years.

From my research the motivation driving these crews is that you have something very valuable that they want. Cash, jewelry, prescription drugs, precious metals like gold, silver, etc.

For example, wealthy Indian families were getting hit a couple of months ago because the crews knew that they tend to have jewelry and gold in their homes. Anyway the local news were running stories on how these families were arming themselves in order to protect themselves.

The motivation behind those two guys that broke in on that teenage girl in Oklahoma on New Years day were prescription drugs. They knew that her husband had died Christmas day, that she was alone and that she probably still had in her possession his pain medicine. They figured they could rape her and steal the drugs. They might have even killed her and her daughter. They didn't count on her being armed with a shotgun.

So the moral of the story seems to be not to let people think you have anything of value and be ready respond with a violent hail of gunfire when your door does get kicked in.
 
On the calls I've been on that were reported home invasions, and the NEWS doesn't mention this, the home owners have been thugs them selves. Not saying that innocent people aren't home invaded. Just saying there is no honor amoung theives.

Sure the people robbing drug dealers aren't straight edge hold overs from the 90's?

In all seriousness I have only had to pull my gun once in my short time down here. I was late night in Title Town and I was heading out with my at the time GF to do laundry. As I opened the door, there was an African American Gentleman walking across the parking lot who must have been startled by the sudden movement coming out of a door way. He reaches down his pants to pull something out and I drew down on him and he thought better of it and moved on. I thank god I didn't have to shoot that night.

I've heard of similar stories of Mexicans, who keep large amounts of cash in their homes, getting robbed like that because the robbers know they won't report it to the police since most likely they're illegals to begin with.
 
Brother of mine, just lost his tru love to a murder. The POS showed the police where all 37 peices of the body were hidden. Later that night I took him to a bar where he understandily got Fubared. I was there for moral comfort. Four Biker wannabees came across the bar after seeing him crying. Started talking about cutting him up. I calmly showed then my pistol and told them they would have to go through me. That .380 did its Job. They wanted no more...
 
I was living in an apt complex and at about 2am had someone trying to break in my window. ( I had gone to bed maybe 2 hrs b4 this). I woke up in a daze and ran and grabbed a bat (few years ago b4 i owned a gun) and shouted something like "Get the hell outta here!". Then they yelled "Fire dept, Fire Dept!" I don't know why they had no sirens, no lights, nothing. And my windows were closed. Turned out the lady next door died (old age) and they were breaking into the wrong apt. Glad I didn't own a gun then.
