Twice, But last time was eight years ago in a vactaion, so obviously I wasn't really able to do anything. And I don't want to be robbed either. But I've heard of people getting rid of their pests by the way I described. Brains>raw force.
Oh please, guns don't mean instant god mode. A blunt weapon is very useful if you play smart.

If there's a corner near the door were ONE is comming trough you can hide and swing something hard in his face.

Against several criminals with guns it's a bit more tricky. Especially if they stay together.

I have read a lot of stories of REGULAR people who aren't especially skilled in a martial arts taking out one to several armed criminals by just using their brains and a weapon such as a hammer or crowbar.

If they already have a gun pointed at you then, yeah, then you should give it up.

I'd refuse to be a victim aswell and yet I do not have a gun.
You've been watching too many movies. I'll leave the John Wayne stuff to you then. I'll keep my distance from a criminal. Last option is to go hands on. And owning firearms for protection and sport doesn't make me stupid or unable to use my brain. :rolleyes: I guess I just don't have a victim mentality.

Yes Andrew, your house has been cased. You guys should take some time to try and figure out why they chose your house. Did you say they caught one of them? I hope they catch all four of those scumbags. One of them may even live near you. I'm really glad it ended well. You did a good job. I bet you had one massive adrenelin dump! :)

Lol, you could say my heartbeat raised during that occasion. Turns out there have been a lot of break ins very recently in the area. I didn't recognize any of the group, but the cops said they they probably lived in the adjacent neighborhood. They did catch one, and the cops were very positive that she would spill the beans. The cops told me that they would call the house to let me know if they catch the others.

I am very glad that I was home instead of my younger brother and sister, or even my mother. I'm not sure that they would of kept a cool head during the situation or not. Often times that's the deciding factor in a survival situation.

Yeah. If it were me I wouldn't want to leave the house for awhile just in case.

Those movies are unrealistic. I do not watch crappy movies or play stupid games. I am talking about real life situations.

I never stated that using a gun was dumb, nor did I say you should charge a criminal head on.

I also never said that you have to be uncauthful when a criminal is in your house. I just stated that people without guns also can properly defend themselves, their family and property.

If I had a fire arm I would also use that instead of a hammer or something. But if i'd notice a guy comming in trough the back door and I knew it wasn't my neighbour or something, Yeah, then I'd refuse to play victim aswell.
