How to defend yourself and family in your own home. - Or any structure for that matter

Posted on 02/27/2013 9:42:04 AM PST by jongaltsr

Defenders tend to stand behind door openings..... Shoot waist high about 4 plus inches beyond the door frame. Lay in a couple of shots - 4 plus inches and 10 inches.

That will cover and girth of anyone in any stance.

Shooters may be either standing or crouched behind the door opening. This way (4 plus inches) will get the best chance of hitting them.

If you aim higher and they are crouched over you will miss.

If they are either crouched over OR standing you have a MUCH greater chance of hitting them. A shot to the head or a shot to the gut is going to stop them.

Have your children and wife (yes, and even you) laying flat on the floor so that bullets fly over your head.

Also have an escape route planned The second you enter the room. Including jumping through a widow.

To jump through a window you will probably get cut but you can survive. Better yet - insure that your body impacts the glass FLAT that will push most of the glass out of the frame and minimize the cuts your will receive.

A glass cut is better than a bullet in the back or in the head.

I know that is their OFFICIAL POLICY. They do try and intimidate weak personalities to allow them in.

If they did that to you and you allowed them to enter, then my point (must) stand.

2nd point - How many reported killing/robberies/rape have been attributed to Jehovah’s Witnesses?

ALL good rules.
ALL necessary rules.
One rule you did rule out is - Delay due to indecision can lead to your death. You must make quick, decisive decisions.

As most people in such a position find out is that REAL “Bad Guys” back down quickly and retreat as fast as their dead beat feet can move.

However - THAT IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE.

It is up to you to make a quick (as well as accurate) decision to survive.

What tactics do you recommend vs fire breathing tanks?

You have two choices.....

1. Take a DEEP breath and then run like hell.

(2)Place your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodby.

Rule #1, #2, #3, etc is not to back yourself into a room where there is no retreat.

If your bathroom has a window or even a door to another room then you could draw a potential intruder into such a room and allow you to exit.

The book I read 45 years ago said the best defense was to break apart a pair of scissors and tape one blade to a broom handle.-

Do you have such a device ready and available and placed throughout the house?

If you have to do this while under attack you are as good as dead.

(SECOND)problem - even if you had such a device available and ready, YOU would have to get within 6 feet or less to be effective whereas your opponent can stand back 10, 15, 20 feet or more and PLUG you with ease.

I invite them in, then won’t let them leave till I am ready.

“’Come into my parlor’, said the spider to the fly.”

I really like it if it is a hot day and my AC is off.;-D

ABSO FRIGGIN LUTELY. Love the answer. Give them a taste of their own babble.

>> “Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t come in your house or even pass your door without a personal invitation” <<

Oh yes they do come to the door without an invite! They do not force themselves in but they DO come to the door.

My first run in was many years ago when I was working a night shift.

About 10 in the morning, when I am sleeping, they knock on the door selling a booklet. I gave them 10 cents to get lost. Big mistake.

A week later they were back, and back again two weeks later till I told them I was not interested.

NOW, when they come into my driveway, I invite them in and won’t let them go till I am ready. It is great fun as they don’t come back! And I never curse or even raise my voice. I simply do the worst thing possible. I open MY bible...

Same for Mormons.

Yep, and they always leave confused and frustrated, and send their advisor the next time, and around we go again!

Well, I can tell at your house, they certainly won’t go through your door ... they’ll be dead on the other side of the door, with several shots from you in them ... LOL ...

That is quite an understatement I'm afraid

AND that is the reason I am researching this subject.

I want to be prepared for such inevitability.

I know something is going to happen in the VERY NEAR FUTURE and I want all the information I can get.

I survived this far in life because I studied and was therefor - prepared.

This next few months (or years) is going to be even more dramatic than anything I have experienced so far in my life AND I would like to be prepared for what is coming.

I may (or may not) have exactly the proper knowledge I need (WE ALL MAY NEED) so I go on logical assumptions and hope for people like yourself to give me feedback that would give me food for thought, which could improve survival odds not only for myself but also for others.
