Are you prepared for hunting only or have you considered what you’d do if you heard the front room lamp crash to the floor in the middle of the night? If you don’t keep a weapon and ammo handy then I wouldn’t consider you prepared for a home robbery.

If you do keep a weapon and ammo handy then I have to ask do you also have a flashlight handy? Have you given serious thought about what you would do in the middle of the night if your side door, the squeaky one, opened?

Burglars and robbers are not going to step on the kids noisemaking toys twice. You only get one warning when things go wrong. If you hear the WRONG sound when you should NOT be hearing it consider that your ONE AND ONLY WARNING. That’s when you have to act. Are you prepared to do so?

Um... Yes. If someone breaks into my house I’m quite prepared to act. That’s a damned dumb question.

What do I win?

The shotgun and pistols are where I can find them in the dark. The only ones in the house are the dogs and me and I doubt they can jack a round in. A bear did try to get in one night and the next day I got the shotgun out, Slugs and 00 alternating for unexpected intrusion.
