Daddy has a good attitude
The woman did great.
But if you could prevent your door from suddenly flying open for just 100 dollars or so, would you do it?
I did. I have a “security screen door” on all doors. It cost me about 160 (60 or so for the deadlock/door knob required) bucks a door to do it.
Will they hold off a determined or clever attacker? No. But I never have to worry about my front door suddenly flying open.
They’re simply there to buy time as a barrier. While the idiot home invader is making noise trying to get through the security door I have time to prepare myself for the actual door to fly open.
I’m just using the Home Depot site because it’s convenient to show the different options. Not as an edorsement.
That’s the exact one I bought. It is much stronger and better built than you would think for 117 bucks. They have many different designs, and from the road mine don’t look like security doors but just like ordinary ornamental screen doors.
As a trainer for military police including prison response teams, I cant disagree with you more. There is a thing called muscle memory. During times of stress is is common to loose fine motor control - true. But time on the range practicing drawing, firing, clearing failures, etc does help. And a LOT of time helps a LOT. Train with stress inducing activities, and it can help a lot more.

Correctamundo. We knew it as train like you fight and fight like you train. The dude in the funny hat could make sound sleep a ‘stress fire’ situation. Thank you Gunny Moss-where ever you are.
Bob Costas blames the gun for using the woman.............
