[QUOTE="bettingpython, post: 715517, member: 4307"] Home defense scenarios involve gaming and an occasional drill, usually our drills are caused by a possum in the back yard, my dogs have a zero tolerance policy possum squirrel birds none of em belong in the yard. Plan for lanes of fire and the best possible place for loved ones to shelter in place without coming out in the open. Understand your sleeping arrangements in relation to the most likely points of access and plan for how to defend against a home invasion. Discuss these itesm with your loved ones make a plan. Doors are the preferred entry point for brute force home invasions. First alert line of defense is our dogs, they'll alert before someone triggers an alarm. I actually discuss this issue with the few friends we have visit and stay overnight. If the dogs start barking do not exit the guest bedroom are my instructions, other than a possum in the yard once or twice a year they have never barked when something wasn't out of the ordinary, my son knows where he is to go in his room that places him out of most likely lines of fire and my wife knows where to go and what to do. We had some shots fired a while back before we had our dogs, close to our house that woke lots of people up. I woke on the first bang and started counting shots on the move the wife had been shoved off in the floor by the 3rd shot. And followed the commads to grab her pistol and move to my sons room and get him down on the floor by the time the 5th and final shot I heard and counted. The TPD said they'd had shots fired in an apartment complex 1/2 a mile away but these were much closer than that possibly related and a possible drive by attempt on another vehicle on Garnett. Was my response too extreme? Maybe and maybe not but having lived in some really unpleasant neighborhoods in my past drove home some survival skills. [/QUOTE]
