Well, there was a valuable air mattress to steal! And all that stood in his way was a large athletic guy with an AR-15 and a dog that looks like he eats car tires. :)
I know this is meant for humor, but you should always have doors locked so there is a proof of break in when you have to explain yourself to police, with your lawyer of course.
I doubt this guy would have done shit, he should have just stayed quiet till the guy came in his house but instead he scared him off with his flashlight lol he could have contributed to society that day but chose not to!

Most gun owners aren't "waiting for it to happen" the people that have a fetish for hoping someone will break in are genuinely disturbing and should not be gun owners. This is not what our culture as responsible gun owners represents.
@@AdrenaLukeYT by waiting he means he would rather it happen to him than someone who is unarmed and has a less chance of survival he doesn't want it to happen to anyone but better someone who is hella fuckin prepared
A Hi-Point Carbine or Hi-Point C9 would be a much better home defense weapon. The intruder would see the gun and thinks you're broke, feels bad and go away.
The high point carbine is actually very reliable, accurate and fun to shoot. I have brought it to the range along with high end ar”s and people always have fun with it! I gave it a forward grip w/thumb activation light and it’s two thumbs up.
How many times everyday does this or a similar occurrence take place, but goes unreported or tabulated. There is no way of knowing how many times lawfully brandishing firearms prevents crimes.
A bum in Portland OR tried to mug me one time and was shocked when I presented him with a snub .38 instead of my wallet. I will never forget watching every single emotion flash through this guys face at the same time before he ran off. It was fucking surreal
We had some trouble makers trying to poach on our land. They were giving my dad some trouble saying they had a gut shot deer run over (they claimed to be neighbors a few miles off, no way it ran that far). I showed up on my open carry day, saw my dad was looking pissed with 3 guys hassling him. I walked up, hand resting on my glock, make myself known and watch these three guys turn pale while they try to stammer out the explanation. Almost immediately after my dad explains the situation to me one of the guys "receives a text" saying that a 4th guy found it on their property. Ran off with their tails betwixt their legs
Actually, the CDC did a study on gun violence in 2013 under the Obama administration that explored some of the numbers behind defensive gun use. The study as a whole ended up showing that "gun violence" as it exists in the US is wildly mischaracterized by the media and most instance of "gun violence" were either suicides or one on one killings that could have been accomplished as easily with a hammer or kitchen knife as a .22 pistol. As you might expect, the study was never widely publicized! Gotta keep the public afraid of those AK-14s and their fully semi automatic clipazines. Here's the link. Summary of defensive use on page 15. www.nap.edu/read/18319/chapter/3#15 Some journalist at WaPo tried to argue gun rights advocates were misconstrewing the admittedly inconsistent findings, but he also conveniently omits that even the lowest estimate of defensive gun uses more than doubles FBI homicide statistics for most years. Might be all years, but I'm not gonna go back three decades. And once again, most of those are killings that gun bans likely wouldn't have prevented. Here's his article www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/01/16/the-study-that-gun-rights-activists-keep-citing-but-completely-misunderstand/ Long story short, I think there's solid evidence gun ownership is beneficial to the US. Even when people cite countries with extremely low gun crime.. what are you left with? Normal... crime? So people are being murdered with other things? Yeah, sure, real utopias those places. Knowledge is power, fellas. Arm your minds like you arm your homes.
No other person can say what should or shouldn't have happened that night. As stated, no shots were fired and just a little door damage. Best case scenario. Go2A!
@@Mrgunsngear You have that right. Best outcome , no shots fired. I get so sick and tired of stories of ten year olds scaring away a burglar and some knuckle head saying she should have killed him. What child would want to deal with causing a death for sixty years. Not me, not my child, not my grandchildren.
I had a similar story a few months ago not in the house but in my wifes Jeep in a parking lot of a local grocery store late at night . We had stopped to pick up a few things so she ran in and I stayed out in the Jeep it was still cold out so I'd had her leave it running .The SRS (airbag) light keep coming on during the trip so I'd leaned over in the passenger seat to reach under and fix the connection . When I glanced up I see a guy slowly making his way down the side of the Jeep and just as he tries the door I sit up with my carry gun point right at him through the window . I don't think I've ever seen a junkie looking guy run so fast . But I realize the rear windows are tinted so since I was bent over he couldn't see me at all until he got to the driver window which isn't tinted as dark . Makes me glad I don't live somewhere it's illegal to carry a gun .
I had a similar scenario in about 2012, I was replacing the sill on our home and had the front of my house torn apart and night came and was not finished so I put heavy plastic up because it was a chilly night. I told my wife we will sleep in the front room with the plastic up just in case by chance someone wanted to break in. About 2 AM my wife wakes me up saying she hears foot steps out side, after listening quietly for a minute I heard foot steps so I told her hold on and got up and got my pump 12 gauge shot gun out of corner in the room we are in. Right after I grabbed the gun I hear the perp walk up stairs and walking around on front porch , I could hear perp was clearly there because of the composite deck boards on thr porch. I yelled who's there twice with no answer and we are about 5 to 12 feet apart so I decided this is looking like this might be a big problem developing so I pumped the shotgun and when I did the perp jump off the porch and you could here perp running up the sidewalk. Legend has it that THE PERP IS STILL RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE TO THIS DAY. LOL
@Xray Paul Actually, for shotguns. It is a bad idea to leave a round in the chamber. Because depending on the shotgun, it can cause a failure to feed due to the internals being worn down from having one chambered for too long. That if you drop it, it can and will go off. Most shotguns do not have a physical block to prevent the firing pin from being rocked forward, even with the safety engaged. The most common position to keep a home defense shotgun is known as the cruiser position. Keeping a nearly full tube to prevent too much wear for the tube spring. Generally it is fine to leave it without the safety engaged since there is no round chambered in and in a life or death situation you can pump it and be ready to go.
@@patrickbertlein4626 the CDC stats that their are 600,000 to 2.5 million defensive uses of a firearm each year, each defensive use is one or more lives saved. compared to 39,707 deaths per year 11,912 are homicide 23,824 are suaside and 3,970 fall in other categories. www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/firearms/fastfact.html
So many people forget that guns are primarily to guard against government tyranny (which has long since setup shop). Demographics are the reason we all have to walk around strapped with situational awareness in our homeland. Where culture and fearing GOD have been replaced by hedonism and consumerism.

America needs to learn this, police are good, but they cannot defend you. Personal opinion, this is the concept that the antigun groups Need to be taught. Everything starts at this concept.
@@IsthatsbeTTV I got tired of worrying about hitting pot holes,and ruining rims and tires. I bought a 4×4 suv, It's good on snow & ice too. Plus,when you go Shooting or camping or just to the range you can throw all your guns in the back and they are better protected than in a pickup bed.
Experienced a home invasion once, the guy bolted out and fell over the front steps and hedge the moment he saw the business end of an m1a peeking around the corner.
Good job. I had a similar experience. But it was the back door. They broke in the door just as I was making the corner and came in. They saw my ar15 and ran before I even had a chance to fire. Thank god I didn’t have to and no one was hurt.
HURT 1 I disagree, he was ready to fire and had exemplary trigger discipline. He didn’t want to kill anyone and no shots were needed. Job well done I say and maybe, just maybe that criminal turned his life around for the better, but I doubt it. All I know is it’s a real good thing this good guy had his gun on him and NOT LOCKED up in the safe, car, closet or anywhere else that would have done him absolutely no good and would have been stolen from him and used in future home invasions and robberies. God bless the USA and thank God for our 2nd Amendment. Always Carry and be vigilant.

ArgosySPecOps: About 15 years ago we had a guy who was going around to brand new houses and stripping any copper he could get off of them. Eventually after he got his whole garage filled with it he made one mistake and grabbed onto a live wire and it killed him on the spot. SO the cops didn't have to do much to ind all the missing copper. Crazy when people do that!!!
I had someone walk in on my son and I 2 years back. We weren't in the shower though. Didn't ruin like roaches either sadly, just tied us up and took our stuff.
I have to thank the democrats for finally turning me on to the AR-15. I thought it was all just hype, but their shrieking and gun grabbing ultimately sold me. End result? Best rifle I've ever fired. Period. Mossberg MMR.
Thanks for sharing. I had a similar situation a few years ago while I was camping in a state park (1:30 a.m.). I had my FNS40 with me, and confronted the bad guy as he was leaning in my truck through the back window he smashed in. Didn’t have to shoot because he obeyed my directives. He’s in jail now. My advice is always be armed, have a light on your weapon at night ( I didn’t...lesson learned), and stay focused.
Glock was like, “Yo Boss, I don’t want to bark and give away our position. You grab the AR and I’ll get your 6.” LMAO! Definitely time for some attack training for Glock.
Thanks for sharing. Glad you didn’t have to fire your weapon. The red tape you have to go through after you fire at someone is tedious to say the least. By the way, nice rental house. No one can ever accuse you of being a slumlord that’s for sure.
Lol But really it's not a good idea to advertise you have guns or display anything gun related, it just highlights your residence as a desirable target for thieves.
I never considered how the side my light is attached would factor in. From the angles i'd be working from my bedroom, I should switch sides. Thanks for the tip.
Doesnt matter what youtube channel you watch, what self protection gun you have, the info is always the same: WEAPON MOUNTED LIGHT! Gotta see what you may shoot at. Thanks for the info Mike.
I have mixed feelings about the weapon mounted light. In my home yes I have one mounted. Daily carry, nope. They are bulky and if you only need a flashlight to look around your back yard, change a tire. Or what not. It’s attached to your side arm, if you carry a simple flash light like a surefire single aaa in your pocket. It pulls double duty.
Every time I hear a noice or something in the night. Even without a reason to, cause I live alone. I still clear the house, and I just realized that I don't need to do that! Even though I'm active duty.. and I may clear it in an hour. I still have no reason to, thank you so much for teaching me this again!
Excellent story, Mike. Glad it turned out so well. Thanks for this food for thought. A suggestion for advance notice and immediately distinguishing which door someone is approaching. We have Guardline motion sensors, one sensor aimed at each of two entrances, different alerts for front/back and for day/night. Daytime base in the den has two distinct short doorbell chimes. Nighttime base in the bedroom has two distinct long alarms. Praying it's never needed, but if so I'll already be moving to the bedroom rifle safe and then ambush point before a door is kicked. My turf, my rules, no fair fights.
We've had a few break-ins in our upper middle class suburban neighborhood a few years back. One through a sliding glass door on the rear of that house (threw a rock through the glass) during the day, one front door kick in during the day, one garage service door kick in during the day. We've had an alarm system for many years prior to that, but never used it that much. Now we use it religiously. I added a storm/security door to the front door (main entrance) and bolstered all of the lock plates on the house with 3" long wood screws to replace the measly standard 1/2" long screws (so the screws go into the actual wood door framing vs. just the door trim). I replaced the standard small latch strike plates with heavy duty security models. I also added extra locks to all of the windows - especially the basement windows. We added 3M security laminate to the windows on the back of the house that are easily accessible from the ground level. In all, while it's not Fort Knox, the added security measures would certainly slow down any attempt at entrance into our house. I suggest that everyone who sees this video examine their house/apartment for weak spots and take appropriate measures to secure them.
“Not Fort Knox.” If you’re doing all that in the burbs I can’t imagine what you would do if you lived in the city😂....... just maybe, board up your windows? Just a joke. Anyway, I enjoyed reading the comment and the per cautionary measures you took

Somebody once tried to break into my house when I was home laying on the couch. Middle of the day I was home because I had a torn rotator cuff when I heard a knock at my back door, I thought it was a jehovah's witness because they had been in the neighborhood so I didn't answer, after a minute or so he started throwing his shoulder into the door trying to force it open, I yelled out and he took off. He's lucky he didn't come in
@@thisSiteSucksHard I had been in an accident a few days prior so my arm was in a sling, shoulder was shattered with torn rotator cuff. Honestly I don't think I would have been able to use a rifle properly at the time if my life depended on it
@Jim Beam Sorry bit your wrong, I admit the parts used are very important, but can be much better than a store bought factory model. Very few come with aftermarket flash suppressors, match triggers, high quality quad rails. Troy, Daniel Defense etc, or White Oak barrels, BRO, and many more. I run a custom a custom BSA in 300 BO, and it runs. I also build (retired) custom 1911's, they've been all over the nation, matches, defense, asset protection, federal agemcies, military special units, heck Martha Stewart pro has one or the other. Think before you speak. Retired Master Pistolsmith of 30 years
@Jim Beam I don't know what channel your talking.about, and don't care. I also change what I don't like or to something I like better, or I think works better. We both have our opinions, mine is solely based on the product and not the company.
@Jim Beam Sorry, Iiss read the part about the chanel, I'll watch it, but after reading your comments, I think this may be a one time only viewing. Thanks for the heads up.
@Jim Beam I'll go look when I have time, never said it was my favorite budget brand, but shake out the bad stuff, straighten the crooked and it's a shooter. I've owned many many AR15's. Thanks. BTW, I got a bad disc with mine,
I've worn those shoes myself, only it was my alarm that woke me saying the back door had been breeched. Nobody got hurt at my house either (🙏). I hear folks talk about plate carriers etc. by the bed, but people don't realize just how quick this stuff goes down. When the bedroom and entry point(s) are on the same floor, you don't have time to even put your pants on. An AR or scattergun with a "MANDATORY" light on it is all you have time to grab. I also WILL NOT have an optic on a home defense firearm that doesn't have shake awake on it. Your fine motor skills go out the window, so you'll never find that little bitty "on" button in the heat of it all. Preparation is paramount.👍👍👍
A good security upgrade for windows is simple mirrored window tinting that makes it very hard to look in but lets you still look out. It doubles as a cheap security film if some tries to break the window to get in as it is stuck to the glass already so will hold the glass together to a limited extent. Frosting the windows both blocks vision in but also blocks vision out cutting off a place you can look out yet can leak info to someone outside when they see a shadow pass by or the flicker of a tv.
That's the problem, it should always be the wrong guy or gal and always the wrong day. These perp only do what they do because a right victim on the right day exists. Take that away from them and they go out of business.
The most important security device is a security (steel mesh) door, that faces Out. 25 year LEO that has seen a couple things in career. Glad it did not escalate to deadly force.
No_Regerts I’m so sorry to hear that, I understand this day must be a nightmare for some but the way I look at it is to celebrate the ones who lost their lives serving this country, it’s only what they would want in my opinion, your loved ones wouldn’t to look down and see you in pain and sadness they would no doubt want to see you in a better light, although there is nothing wrong with shedding tears.
Great story. I like that you installed outdoor lighting. It’s key. I have so much outside lighting that the bad guy would die from skin cancer before he got to the door or windows.
Scary stuff. Came back from a Halloween party with my date. Someone had kicked in my front door. And were greeted by my 2 German Shepherds. Lol didn’t get too far 😁
German Shepards are great dogs if I ever get another dog it will be a German Shepard.Right now I have a English Setter he is a very good dog my whole yard is fenced and he has the run of the whole yard,and he stops anyone who starts in my gates ,he has a very good temper and he only barks at strangers.he came wandering out of the woods by my home one day nearly starved ,he was just bones and hide,no collar so I kept him and he is a great dog ,I have never taken him hunting ,but he loves to go with me to my neighbors pond up in the hollow next to my house .he likes to run and jump way out into the middle and swim he cracks me up ,I walk him up there in the summer when it is hot out and he run up and over the dam at a dead run and just kinda fly up and over out into the pond then swim out and run back to me and shake off.lol he will do it over and over just like a kid playing at the pool.
Steven DeAtley Yeah. My big boy Berrin. Who was with me for 12 great amazing years. Best smartest dog I ever met. Just passed last Oct. I was absolutely heartbroken. I cried so hard the day He passed. I was sore the next day. But he went surrounded by my friends. We buried him in my backyard. Drunk as hell. And using 3 of my Ar15s that had surefire lights on them. My new GSD is Luca. My friend runs a dog rescue in Detroit. And found him abandoned. Someone cut him up real good. And also cut off one of his ears. Took him a little time to settle in. But he’s the sweetest dog I ever met.
James Oh, we just did the same to one of our Shepherds last Thursday as we had to put her down. Vet and staff mentioned they'd never seen a man cry like that to my wife and fell so bad for us. There are dogs, and then there are German Shepherd Dogs... Our 2 year old GSD sleeps at the top of the stairs at our bridge forier and nothing is getting by her. She put 4 holes in an idiot that directly walked at my wife while she was walking Ripley at the park... Scumbag changed his course twice to walk at them oncoming on a trail. Sum-bitch had two assholes and a new dick hole after she finally let go, hahahahahaah! Wife was worried animal control was going to take Ripley away. I said what is the scumbag gonna tell them? That he was creeping and planning to assault you after downing 20 beers??? That's one park it won't ever come to stalk again!
Jeremy Reagan it’s hard to lose our Furry best friends. Especially when you raise them from a little tiny puppy. Berrin was so special. Because I had him when I was still living with my Parents. Before I moved out. When he passed. It was like a chapter of my life closed forever. I’m glad I found my new rescue Luca. He help me fill that void. He’s a great sweet German Shepherd.
When my neighbors (USMC family) are gone I'm always watching for them even though they never ask me to. It's a blessing to live in a close knit neighborhood where every single house is armed. 'Merica! 🇺🇸
I had someone try to jimmy my window open while I was literally cleaning my guns. I walked into the spare room after hearing him.

Never had another issue since thank God.

A bum in Portland OR tried to mug me one time and was shocked when I presented him with a snub .38 instead of my wallet. I will never forget watching every single emotion flash through this guys face at the same time before he ran off. It was fucking surreal
Nathan Witus at what point did you present it?
We had some trouble makers trying to poach on our land. They were giving my dad some trouble saying they had a gut shot deer run over (they claimed to be neighbors a few miles off, no way it ran that far). I showed up on my open carry day, saw my dad was looking pissed with 3 guys hassling him. I walked up, hand resting on my glock, make myself known and watch these three guys turn pale while they try to stammer out the explanation. Almost immediately after my dad explains the situation to me one of the guys "receives a text" saying that a 4th guy found it on their property. Ran off with their tails betwixt their legs
Actually, the CDC did a study on gun violence in 2013 under the Obama administration that explored some of the numbers behind defensive gun use. The study as a whole ended up showing that "gun violence" as it exists in the US is wildly mischaracterized by the media and most instance of "gun violence" were either suicides or one on one killings that could have been accomplished as easily with a hammer or kitchen knife as a .22 pistol. As you might expect, the study was never widely publicized! Gotta keep the public afraid of those AK-14s and their fully semi automatic clipazines.
Here's the link. Summary of defensive use on page 15. www.nap.edu/read/18319/chapter/3#15
Some journalist at WaPo tried to argue gun rights advocates were misconstrewing the admittedly inconsistent findings, but he also conveniently omits that even the lowest estimate of defensive gun uses more than doubles FBI homicide statistics for most years. Might be all years, but I'm not gonna go back three decades. And once again, most of those are killings that gun bans likely wouldn't have prevented. Here's his article www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/01/16/the-study-that-gun-rights-activists-keep-citing-but-completely-misunderstand/
Long story short, I think there's solid evidence gun ownership is beneficial to the US. Even when people cite countries with extremely low gun crime.. what are you left with? Normal... crime? So people are being murdered with other things? Yeah, sure, real utopias those places.

I had a similar story a few months ago not in the house but in my wifes Jeep in a parking lot of a local grocery store late at night . We had stopped to pick up a few things so she ran in and I stayed out in the Jeep it was still cold out so I'd had her leave it running .The SRS (airbag) light keep coming on during the trip so I'd leaned over in the passenger seat to reach under and fix the connection . When I glanced up I see a guy slowly making his way down the side of the Jeep and just as he tries the door I sit up with my carry gun point right at him through the window . I don't think I've ever seen a junkie looking guy run so fast . But I realize the rear windows are tinted so since I was bent over he couldn't see me at all until he got to the driver window which isn't tinted as dark . Makes me glad I don't live somewhere it's illegal to carry a gun .
Great situational awareness Bill ! I've had mine in Vegas a few years ago ( ccw) ,140lb Dobbie backs them off a whole car full of young perps !
I had a similar scenario in about 2012, I was replacing the sill on our home and had the front of my house torn apart and night came and was not finished so I put heavy plastic up because it was a chilly night.
I told my wife we will sleep in the front room with the plastic up just in case by chance someone wanted to break in.
About 2 AM my wife wakes me up saying she hears foot steps out side, after listening quietly for a minute I heard foot steps so I told her hold on and got up and got my pump 12 gauge shot gun out of corner in the room we are in.
Right after I grabbed the gun I hear the perp walk up stairs and walking around on front porch , I could hear perp was clearly there because of the composite deck boards on thr porch.
I yelled who's there twice with no answer and we are about 5 to 12 feet apart so I decided this is looking like this might be a big problem developing so I pumped the shotgun and when I did the perp jump off the porch and you could here perp running up the sidewalk.
Legend has it that THE PERP IS STILL RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE TO THIS DAY. LOL
@Xray Paul you can still pump shotgun with round in chamber
He heard that universal call to action and had to go 🏃🏼♂️🏃🏼♂️🏃🏼♂️
Shouldve popped him like a bag of chips
@@ptgrpl113 Lot easier to not pump and just pull the trigger.
@Xray Paul Actually, for shotguns. It is a bad idea to leave a round in the chamber. Because depending on the shotgun, it can cause a failure to feed due to the internals being worn down from having one chambered for too long.
That if you drop it, it can and will go off. Most shotguns do not have a physical block to prevent the firing pin from being rocked forward, even with the safety engaged.
The most common position to keep a home defense shotgun is known as the cruiser position. Keeping a nearly full tube to prevent too much wear for the tube spring. Generally it is fine to leave it without the safety engaged since there is no round chambered in and in a life or death situation you can pump it and be ready to go.
In Britain you'd be arrested for defending yourself and forced to pay the poor burglar for his emotional stress.
Ah, merry old England... a bit misguided in self defense. America hasn't perfected it, but banning guns isn't the way.

@@patrickbertlein4626 the CDC stats that their are 600,000 to 2.5 million defensive uses of a firearm each year, each defensive use is one or more lives saved. compared to 39,707 deaths per year 11,912 are homicide 23,824 are suaside and 3,970 fall in other categories. www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/firearms/fastfact.html

Good job. I had a similar experience. But it was the back door. They broke in the door just as I was making the corner and came in. They saw my ar15 and ran before I even had a chance to fire. Thank god I didn’t have to and no one was hurt.

I disagree, he was ready to fire and had exemplary trigger discipline. He didn’t want to kill anyone and no shots were needed. Job well done I say and maybe, just maybe that criminal turned his life around for the better, but I doubt it.
All I know is it’s a real good thing this good guy had his gun on him and NOT LOCKED up in the safe, car, closet or anywhere else that would have done him absolutely no good and would have been stolen from him and used in future home invasions and robberies.

Eventually after he got his whole garage filled with it he made one mistake and grabbed onto a live wire and it killed him on the spot. SO the cops didn't have to do much to ind all the missing copper. Crazy when people do that!!!

My advice is always be armed, have a light on your weapon at night ( I didn’t...lesson learned), and stay focused.
Glock was like, “Yo Boss, I don’t want to bark and give away our position. You grab the AR and I’ll get your 6.” LMAO! Definitely time for some attack training for Glock.

True! I have an o light PL mini on my home defense gun, works great in my tiny house!
I have mixed feelings about the weapon mounted light. In my home yes I have one mounted. Daily carry, nope. They are bulky and if you only need a flashlight to look around your back yard, change a tire. Or what not. It’s attached to your side arm, if you carry a simple flash light like a surefire single aaa in your pocket. It pulls double duty.

Excellent story, Mike. Glad it turned out so well. Thanks for this food for thought.
A suggestion for advance notice and immediately distinguishing which door someone is approaching. We have Guardline motion sensors, one sensor aimed at each of two entrances, different alerts for front/back and for day/night. Daytime base in the den has two distinct short doorbell chimes. Nighttime base in the bedroom has two distinct long alarms. Praying it's never needed, but if so I'll already be moving to the bedroom rifle safe and then ambush point before a door is kicked. My turf, my rules, no fair fights.
We've had a few break-ins in our upper middle class suburban neighborhood a few years back. One through a sliding glass door on the rear of that house (threw a rock through the glass) during the day, one front door kick in during the day, one garage service door kick in during the day. We've had an alarm system for many years prior to that, but never used it that much. Now we use it religiously. I added a storm/security door to the front door (main entrance) and bolstered all of the lock plates on the house with 3" long wood screws to replace the measly standard 1/2" long screws (so the screws go into the actual wood door framing vs. just the door trim). I replaced the standard small latch strike plates with heavy duty security models. I also added extra locks to all of the windows - especially the basement windows. We added 3M security laminate to the windows on the back of the house that are easily accessible from the ground level. In all, while it's not Fort Knox, the added security measures would certainly slow down any attempt at entrance into our house. I suggest that everyone who sees this video examine their house/apartment for weak spots and take appropriate measures to secure them.
How do you like the 3M film?
I'm resourcing options to make all the glass in my home accessible from ground level break resistant

A good security upgrade for windows is simple mirrored window tinting that makes it very hard to look in but lets you still look out. It doubles as a cheap security film if some tries to break the window to get in as it is stuck to the glass already so will hold the glass together to a limited extent. Frosting the windows both blocks vision in but also blocks vision out cutting off a place you can look out yet can leak info to someone outside when they see a shadow pass by or the flicker of a tv.
I wish someone like Colion noir would compile a database of all the times someone used an AR15 for Home defense

James Oh, we just did the same to one of our Shepherds last Thursday as we had to put her down. Vet and staff mentioned they'd never seen a man cry like that to my wife and fell so bad for us. There are dogs, and then there are German Shepherd Dogs... Our 2 year old GSD sleeps at the top of the stairs at our bridge forier and nothing is getting by her. She put 4 holes in an idiot that directly walked at my wife while she was walking Ripley at the park... Scumbag changed his course twice to walk at them oncoming on a trail. Sum-bitch had two assholes and a new dick hole after she finally let go, hahahahahaah! Wife was worried animal control was going to take Ripley away. I said what is the scumbag gonna tell them? That he was creeping and planning to assault you after downing 20 beers??? That's one park it won't ever come to stalk again!
Jeremy Reagan it’s hard to lose our Furry best friends. Especially when you raise them from a little tiny puppy. Berrin was so special. Because I had him when I was still living with my Parents. Before I moved out. When he passed. It was like a chapter of my life closed forever.
I’m glad I found my new rescue Luca. He help me fill that void. He’s a great sweet German Shepherd.
Cool. It was a good ending. No matter what your gun of choice is it’s good to have but lighting is crucial.
When my neighbors (USMC family) are gone I'm always watching for them even though they never ask me to. It's a blessing to live in a close knit neighborhood where every single house is armed. 'Merica! 🇺🇸
Exactly the same where I live. My neighbors and I always watch out for each other and our properties. If SHTF then we are prepared and empowered.
I lol'ed at the phrase "I don't know if he knew that a rifle was oriented on him."
I get it bro. I’ve been down that road three times in my life. It’s definitely an eye opener.
I had someone try to jimmy my window open while I was literally cleaning my guns. I walked into the spare room after hearing him. The light was off in the room, light was on outside and he did not see me approach. I tapped the end of the barrel on the glass and he looked in closer and you could literally see the blood drain from his face lol he took off so fast. I called the cops and filled out a report. Never had another issue since thank God.
you missed a good opportunity
iDeagle no, it was a good thing that he didn’t have to use his firearm. It’s great that he had it to protect himself and even better that he didn’t have to use it
jacobyXL wayyyyy better yeah
I’m so glad you’re safe Mike. Thanks for sharing
You did everything right. Glad it worked out for the best. This is why I put motion lights in every new house I live in the very first day I move in.
Motion lights would have handled the situation
@@67goodoleboy67 helps to blind intruders and let you see how many perps there are. They are a great tool
@@freedomgunsandlibertyI have my yard lit up from front to back with led bright motion lights.
I actually saw a huge coyote turn then on once.
freedom guns and liberty The very first day huh? I call B.S. Sounds impressive tho...
@@jamiesloan5902 I reinforce my doors with 4" screws and all striker plates and install motion lights before my kids are allowed to stay in a new home. I usually have it done before we even begin moving. The motion lights I use are solar powered so they install very easily. If there is power I will install a 110v motion light at the front and back door. I am very handy and can install electrical very easily.
Burglar: Breaks in.
Man grabs AR-15: At last a worthy opponent our battle will be legendary.
I'm thankful that your ears didn't need to go through an indoor shooting, too.
Fourth Horseman that’s my thought
.223 is an excellent indoor round. Try a .308 indoors
@@nobody-yu4cf or a 12 gauge. My go-to HD weapon Winchester 1300 w/Deer Slugs. So yeah....that'll suck indoors.
its actually not as bad as you think. ive had firearms go off(manf. defect) indoors. its not more than a thud. id say its less worse than outside.
I remember you saying something about this in another video, good job. Glad you & yours are safe, brother. Thanks for all your work for our Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
yup. It only takes one "bump in the night" to make you a believer.
You left out the most important part of this story. Did you have hair back then during this event?
Bacon Sandwich it wasn’t thaaaat far back.... lol
Lol
Bacon Sandwich 😂
Side note: You and Matt Best travel with AR’s to her house, ! Love it....Honey, we’re home...👍
Indeed
A man of simple short yet sophisticated responses. mrgunsngear is the man
I had an attempted burglary years ago as well. Lucky, for the burglar, my dog chased him out of the house before I could get to my gun. I later found out it was a scumbag I used to work with trying to rip me off.
Just curious how the police treated you when you reported it and if they wanted to inspect the AR15
They book him on red flag law and took his ar 15 for ruining there over time...
I'd be vague and just say gun or firearm over the phone if I could think clearly after something like this. Don't need nervous cops or swat showing up. "Ar15!!!?? Holy Jesus, contact homeland security."
No need to say anything about a gun! You shined a flashlight on the window & the perv took off! NEVER VOLUNTEER INFORMATION NOT NEEDED! People are easily confused enough without too many details!
I'm just getting an AR-15 and I can't learn enough, fast enough! Thank you! And, funny, I'm moving pretty soon, too. I'll make sure my AR-15 is with me my first night in my new house! :)
Great story and analysis. Way more entertaining than season 8 of GoT
😂
Excellent
