If I was a BG these days I would be reading more of these stories and thinking hard before I did a home invasion or robbed someone- good innocent law abiding citizens are fighting back and killing and maiming BGs in higher numbers than I ever remember. The Tulsa convenience store clerk who shot the 2 kids; the homeowner in Tulsa a few weeks ago who said he wasnt going down without a fight and wrestled with the 3 BGs who busted in his front door and ended up shooting off one of the BGs fingers WITH THE BGs OWN GUN as his buddies ran for their lives. He's my new hero. I'm right there with him. I figure something good isnt going to come out of someone being in my home uninvited anyways so I'm not going down without a fight either,and my family has my back if they can help and if they cant they know to get the **** out as quick as they can and get safe and get help on the way. My family knows what to do if they hear something not right going on out in the rest of house at night while back in their bedrooms (when we're at home theyre all 3 usually always in their own rooms doing their stuff)- whether its me into it with someone or if I'm gone and someone is in or trying to get in. Scatter and get somewhere safe and get on those cellphones asap. The wife has her bedside .38,she knows where my loaded and ready semi auto pistols are, and she has her own loaded and ready 12gg under her side of the bed; my son has his rifles in his closet; and my 18 yr old daughter has a loaded and ready 9mm in her room even though I gaurentee she would be the first one out her window and hiding in the bushes outside her window and on the phone (shes always on that phone). So,we think we're ready, but you never know. (And dont worry,everything goes right into the safe when we're all gone...).
