Tips for Keeping Your Home Safe 

Like Patrick Swayze did as "Ronald Reagan" while exiting the van to rob the bank in Point Break, lol

Bad idea by that intruder. Pat would take them out quickly

That’s hilarious!!!

The last words they’d hear would be “handling home intruders……BASIC DUDE STUFF LOL”

"Gitchyousum!" is the last thing you hear.

I've been trying to wake my neighbours to the ever changing "Immy grayshun" and the different value problem, but they.... 🙈🙉🙈. 😥

It takes a village.

Our neighbors are on the ball. And they have enough ammo to head back to Okinawa.

Bruh I don't even know my neighbors, one just tried to steal my land not to long ago also. lol Wish I knew my neighbors better

My neighbor and I have set up intersecting fields of fire with range cards.

You left out possibly the most important thing. Always sleep with all bedroom doors closed. I have found occupants dead from smoke inhalation although they were very distant from a kitchen fire. Securely closed doors also prevent fire extending to those rooms for a significant time.

Flip those fire extinguishers over yearly and whack the bottom with a rubber mallett, the retardant can crust and cause the extiguisher to malfunction. You wont know until you need it.

Fucking AWESOME reply!!!

Most smoke detectors now come with lithium batteries that last 10 years.

@@MisterTwister88 most smoke detectors now are hard wired as well with the battery only uesd as a backup.

hahahaha

Absolutely

As Pat says, they don't have to be vicious, just vociferous.

I always tell my two sons that our GSD, contributes to our home security.

I used to have bulldogs, I got rid of them and bought Jack Russell terriers and absolutely nothing gets by them. As a matter of fact I have one that will patrol the entire house all night and sit in a window watching and has no problem waking me up

Paw Patrol!

It’s an unfortunate situation but it is justified. Me breaking into someone’s house naked at mine and brushing myself past the owner I deserve to get shot. I think your statement should’ve said reevaluate your surroundings don’t just act think about it. I understand people make mistakes but there’s something called verification

OK, but better thee than me. And if you're in doubt, you have to protect yours.

How do u get that fucked up smh

I lived in a small town and a city came to me. Jealous of your situation. It’s not overrated.

It has all pros and cons. Chances are higher that it'll be on fire or that you have a medical emergency later in life and it takes time to get to you. If some are prepared, they can take all the time they want and as loud as they want.

Hey not that it's any of my business but my son was having terrible nitemares as well come to find out it was melatonin we were giving him and I immediately stopped it jtluk if u are giving him a sleep aid.

@@scrappyhustler7467 , Hey brother, thank you for sharing. My son had a dream about his dog that passed away recently, he dreamed she was there with him and it woke him. Thanks for the info though man!

This is the problem when you assume everything could be a threat.

Every defense firearm must have a weapon mounted light. I know of one such case. Father shot his son who entered the house early am. Father shot the son, it was dark, no lights on. Mistook his son for a robber.

Soldier I served with as both a reservist and mobilized on active duty got into two nearly identical home defense shootings approximately 2 years apart. Shortly after 9/11 he was at home on the weekend and heard a loud banging at his off post apartment door, looking through the peep hole it’s nobody he recognized so he tells him to get away. Dude outside is screaming about something but is drunk and belligerent. Wife is on the phone with the cops as dude breaks down the door & my guy tells him to leave or he will shoot. Commands are issued to leave but drunk charges at the off duty MP so he 10 rings him one time with an 92FS. Guy successfully passes the room temperature challenge. Turns out the apartment is first floor and was the same apartment but the wrong building as the drunks own apartment. Seen a man in “his apartment” with “his wife” and crashed the door. Turned out this guy was a very well liked E-5 from an artillery unit that was working with us on gate duty. We ended up having to remove his battery from working the gates because of the animosity they had towards us afterwards. I did say this happened twice? The troop was originally in the reserves in my unit and the impetus for him to switch to active duty was a very similar situation at his old apartment complex 90 miles away.

@ Ben Wiele This is also why so many people that don’t immediately think threat are taken by surprise. 🐑

Acquire and identify the threat(s). Be cognizant of all medications and how they’ll effect you, especially combined with sleep or waking suddenly from sleeping. Take a moment to gather yourself before making a decision.

It is one of your most important senses! Trust it!

I'll remember this

What is your backstop? That is a great point that I'd say the vast majority do not think about. I know a guy that has a 308 battle rifle as his home defense tool and he honestly believes that it's not a big deal. If you live in the country on a homestead or something, absolutely, blast away. If you love in an HOA situation where the neighbors are close enough to smell their cooking from inside your house, well, 308 might be a bit much brother. Lol

Everything you have here. And... LOL... I must be a tool, b/c I did not realize backing into parking was termed 'combat parking'. Learned it as a MP in the military, then when I got out, it's just easier to park the truck. I think someone else mentioned this, but when I worked in Midland/Odessa, those oil fields required us to 'combat park' for safety purposes. Thanks for the comment brother, you def got me thi king more about my situation. 🤜🤛

Exactly. Great point.

Tweakers are tweaked blood or not. Had cousins steal from us when I was a teenager. Same two also stole from their little brother.

Way back when I was working at our county jail we had two young tweakers tie up and beat to a pulp their elderly uncle and his wife for some gold coins. My old neighbor had two fantastic young boys! They moved away for 3 years and upon returning I found out the younger had become a tweaker, attacked his dad, stolen a bunch of stuff to sell, and a bunch more. Parents had to get a restraining order against their own son. Sweetest young man I had ever met prior. Last I heard he was back to being a good kid after a long road to recovery.

Also, be careful who knows when you are out of town. Telling the whole world that your house is vacant for a week is a bad idea.

@@stilgar2007 Yup. I'm not a 'heavy' social media users, but if I am going to post pictures and stuff from a trip I only do it after I get home.
