Home protection

I've got a crapload of swords, knives, a pistol, a spear, and most intimidating of all, a Shih Tzu with a bad disposition. Come at me, bro.

Do shih tzus even have a gentle disposition? Every single one is mean.

Pepper spray for indoor use is bad for a very obvious reason.

I mean the liquid, made from actual peppers stuff



Why wouldn't you want to use that indoors? Messy?

All I know is that she goes out of her way to bite anyone who isn't me.

Also, she bites me.

AK-47, AR-15, Glock 9mm, Colt 1911, and soon a 12 gauge tactical shotgun ... I mean I've got a few swords and an axe, but I don't have sufficient training with those compared to the firearms.

There is a reason when the crossbow was invented a lot of armies handed them out in mass to men-at-arms. Which is something they didn't do with swords and maces.

I've got a crowbar in the cupboard, i'd naturally call the cops. get naked, and start wielding that bad boy while swearing profusely. If anyone tries to steal my shreddies i'll fucking go mental, then write an angry letter to thier mums.

But seriously who breaks into a house when there are people inside? Don't think it happens that often.

It is called a "hot prowl" , it happens often enough that ...it has a name.
Also known as a "Home invasion" robbery.

If you don't want a firearm (not sure why, pretty much anyone will tell you that a firearm is the "best tool" for the job in that particular instance...que the nay say IF, IF, IF this happens crowd) try an UBER bright flashlight WITH a strobe feature, keep the place dark, strobe disorients a good amount of people, also a tazer in conjunction with said flashlight , not the contact type, the one with projectile probes.
Distance between you and said intruder is key and saves lives.
Also have a "cower" space picked out and easy to get to .
Not a safe room because...I figure if you had one , you wouldn't be here.
Keep a 2nd cartridge for your tazer handy in that space as well.
May not be a bad idea to have a phone charging cord in a wall outlet OR battery booster in there as well.

When the cops do show up (depending on where you are , stay on the line with the dispatcher and make SURE the "blues" KNOW what you look like, what you are wearing etc. Keep an id on you as well, they will ask for it nearly instantly.

Oh ,and ...while you in the closet on the phone , make SURE the dispatcher replays that you have a TAZER and a flashlight on you so you don't get shot.
When you are given the "all clear" by the dispatcher/officer make SURE you leave your TAZER and flashlight IN your cower spot.

DO NOT HAVE THEM IN YOUR HANDS WHEN YOU COME OUT AND GREET THE OFFICERS.


There a few pieces of info.

Good luck and I hope you NEVER need any of this.

I have one of these in my office:


And one of these in my bedroom:


Both with night sights. G17 has a flashlight.

Well actually firing it indoors can easily cause you to inhale it, causing your lungs to burn, and then shit, you've disabled yourself as well.

Go test it with some air freshener or something in your hallway...then come back and tell us what you've learned about aerosol liquids in a confined indoor space.

I thought it was designed to be non gaseous?

The jet becames an aerosol the moment it hits something solid, you will get the intruder but unless you are wearing a respirator you are getting it too. So will everyone that enters your home for the next 2 hours.

Even the liquid shit is pretty misty, and it is an Aerosol as stated by Rich and Tradewind.

Be fucking hilarious to see though

i don't have any home protection, and the most dangerous thing in my bedroom is probably a can of deodorant :\

[bladeXcrasher]

Use a LRAD, that's fairly non-conventional home defense.

[Drsolders]

Step one: Buy a ton of petroleum jelly

Step two: Lube yourself up

Step three: ????

Invite me round

I have a very security conscious german shepherd. Never been worried about my safety at home.

[GreatOak]

I have an alarm, severa guns, and a German Shepard. The dog is the last line of defense though because I would rather shoot someone attacking us than risk my dog getting hurt or killed defending me.

I just lock the door, everything tends to work out.
