Thankfully, I have never had to deal with a burglar coming into my house. However, I would like to think that if someone ever did break into my house they would probably regret it.
When I was in my early twenties, I used to have a weapon that I got from a Rennaisance Festival that was basically a baseball bat with a bunch of arrow tips poking out of the sweet spot of the bat.
Needless to say, that would have put some holes in anyone that tried to steal from me while I was sleeping.
As I have gotten older, I have graduated to keeping a shotgun in a locked safe in my bedroom. If I hear someone come into my house, all I have to do is punch a code in and I can be ready to defend myself.
Far as I am concerned, whatever you need to defend yourself and your property is your business and if someone tried to burglarize your home what happens after that is between them and their God.
Take for example the case of something that happened in Oklahoma recently.
Three teenaged punks broke into a house to steak from it and they ended up all getting shot dead when one of the occupants of the house used their legally owned AR-15 and shot them all dead.
Now, the funny part of all this is the grandfather of one of the teens that was killed is having a fit saying that the homeowner had an unfair advantage.
I don’t know about you, but when it comes to defending my home I don’t consider anything an unfair advantage.
This isn’t a game of checkers where you get to remove pieces off a board.
This isn’t a game of Monopoly where you grab a stack of cash whenever the other players aren’t looking.
When it comes to defending your home, it’s my opinion that you have to use every last thing you have available to you.
Because think about this, did the people breaking into this person’s home give a damn about whether or not they had an unfair advantage?
