That boy got lucky. Now if these people had followed a rule I follow, after 9 PM, always have the gun in hand behind my leg when I answer the door, and block the door with my foot.

All other times, it's on my side.

Sorry that happened to these people.

"One of the men then put a gun to the neck of the 13-year-old. It went off, but the bullet missed the boy. After the gunshot, the men fled."

Wow. I mean: Wow.

First of all: I NEVER (with no extension of the truth) answer the door without my gun. Let me just say it one more time for 'effect'... I NEVER ANSWER THE DOOR WITHOUT MY GUN.

In my Nomadic life, I have read too many stories like this in many cities. No freakin' way. I swear i will always be on my guard for a home invasion. It is the most cowardice thing to do, invade ones home. No warning, no prep. Hell no.

I know i am turnin' up the pressure cooker a bit: but i seriously have though through this scenario way too many times. i REALLY want to prevent something like that form happening to me, inclusive of my homestead. I'm sure if something were to label me as obsessive, it really would be this. theres some truth for ya'll.

Can we move in with you?

Yea! We should have a large apartment building for OpenCarry members!
Imagine some criminal trying to bust in on all of us.
...we might have a hard time explaining to LEOs: "actually that was ONE person, we just shot him so many times that his remains are spread throughout four rooms."

Yeah, either that or we should buy a neighborhood.

Put a sign at the entrance that says, Welcome to the safest neighborhood in the Country.

"Neighbourhood militia in effect" instead of neighbourhood watch. I love it.
