Mine is my wife secures the kids in the bathtub with the bathroon door locked and her glock 19 calling the cops while I quickly & quietly go to confront the intruders with my Glock17L and 24 round magazine. If there's a need i have my vest and a choice between an AR15 or Shotgun.
We have no rights to self defend over here and right now i have no defense, but some time ago i had set up at my parents' house "sprinklers" (just a straight jet of water) to repel livestock, and anyone who'd try to access any area other than the front door would trigger the stream of water. If i end up owning a home in a high crime area i would do the same but each turret would be a pressure washer instead of just using the pressure from the well. It's totally not an illegal booby trap if it requires human confirmation to fire and it could potentially pass as a remote controlled fire extinguisher in an unlikely need to explain why it exists. That would prevent theft of outdoor property and vandalism. Indoor, my best bet would be multiple kilowatts cool white colored LED panels in any room that has anything valuable, stopping anyone without unusual vision equipment. ㅤ
1. I have a.357 magnum revolver, 5+1, with a laser site in an accessible box near the door to my bedroom. It is double action and I can fan it like Bill Hickok.
2. All 3 bedrooms are off a narrow hallway.
3. I have a motion sensor located such as to switch on a flood light at my end of the hall toward my visitor. That will trap DeShawn blind in a small space. If it is someone I know, I'll see them. Hopefully DeShawn will retreat. I would. Otherwise Tripple-tap.
4. If he doesn't, reprisal of one of his posse is present. So Deshawn has to disappear. I have a sharpened, serrated kitchen knife to cut off his fingertips and pliars to remove dental work. Not fun, but my future is at stake.
5. I have Ammonia to neutralize any blood. I have no carpets and my floors are hardwood, so cleanup is easy. If any blood gets on fabric, I'll burn it in my charcoal grill.
6. I have extra large construction debris bags that will fit a body. The trunk of my Towncar is at least 2-tony size, and he will sleep well there until I get him to his final resting place, my preplanned disposal point at the bottom of a cliff at a river dam.
There are old mattresses and rusty cars at the bottom of it. It is inaccessible from above and below. Rest in peace, DeShawn.
If you plan to visit after sunset, call my cell, please,
My dog will rip their legs and arms off. If a home invader managed to get past the dog, I’d hit him with the heel of a stiletto right between the eyes. 😈
He’s already mistaken people as intruders who waltzed in without knocking. Two went to urgent care and we thought animal control was coming, but he’s in the clear because they weren’t invited inside.
Little dogs are easier to walk, but my impression is that they bark at everything and anything. You’ll never know whether if you have an intruder or a squirrel.
My last dog was a great dog but poor guard dog. He was an irish wolfhound so was huge but he would let anyone walk into the house and never even bark.
Though there was an incident were some guy got upset at my wife about cutting him off or not letting him out or something and followed her right to our drive way. She was bringing in groceries. He walked right up to the door and started shouting at her. The dog jumped out of the car and walked towards him growling showing his teeth he slowly backed away and got into his car and drive off. An irish wolfhound might be mostly friendly but I wouldn't get on the wrong side of one. there's a reason there are no wolves in Ireland. He actually chased and killed two coyotes and chased off two wolves.
Wow! That’s a crazy story! What a great dog 🩷. I had a golden that would bark at strangers approaching the house, but really it was her way of saying, “Here I am! Pet me!”
His a catholic fanatic and he thinks a statue of a Guadalupe Marie and Saints will protect him lol The virgin Marie does not exist.
At home, we have guns. On campus, everyone for themselves.
@Agape93 the law can be funny in regards to self defence and college campuses in America seem to have their own laws and attitudes. With a baseball bat she doesn't have a weapon for self defence, she has sports equipment she uses for exercise and it just so happened to be close ag hand when she used it for self defence.
I shot an intruder years ago, he lived and cops were considering charging me and the guy took me to court though the judge threw it straight out.
Abby I abvi e you to get some crystals it is avalable on amazon do not listen to this crazy catholic church fanatic. Also you can pay a witch to perform black magic on someone who hurst you.

in my state, best plan is to jump out a window and die.
Even if intruder enters my house at 2am, I cna't shoot em, I have to try to get away. Only if my life is threatened can I shoot. But how the heck I figure that out. If they declare "I'm just here for the $ and food", I cannot harm them.
That's why we have a free for all of crime, including people shot in their homes.
That's why they want to put up camears all over... if someone is shot, they want to track them down. Otherwise, it's not crime, it' reallocation of stuff.
Guess what party controls my state...
Possiby worse, Connecticut. Yes.
I'll grab my katana. I'm not gonna lie, the way I obtained it was really shitty of me but it did involve taking it away from an alcoholic maniac.
Anyway, I don't care if they have a gun. For me to fight back with one would be unsportsmanly because of how little of a chance they stand either way.
Besides, if I shoot you, you go to the hospital and forget all about it in a few years. If I chop your hand nearly clean off you'll think twice about picking up a firearm again. Maybe they'll pursue a career in sales or acting.
You don't think the judge would fine the unsportsmanly thing to be honorable?
It's to live in countries where it almost never happens, and they're even less likely to have guns.
So prepping. A "home defense plan". Dude is there anything you're not scared to death of 24X7? I can see why you're MAGA and voted for tRump.
My home defense plan is to not live in a shithole neighborhood and just be my sweet helpful self if anyone ever breaks in.
I've lived in many shithole neighbourhoods. I dont any longer in one. Still get break ins.
I rent out houses, its unreal the amount of doors and windows I've had to replace. In fact I went and bought replacements in bulk.
When someone breaks into your home with you and your family litteraly anything can happen.
One tenants, they are an older couple living off their pension. The husband was opening the door to collect to go in one night and tugs shoved him through the door and beat him and his wife half to death looking money and keys to his car. They went to live with his youngest son after that.
If I lived in an area like that I may be more inclined to take counter measures. But mainly, I'd be looking to remove myself from that environment. And don't get me wrong, I'm no pacifist. Not by a long shot. A kill shot inside my residence is preferable to leaving that individual with poor judgement alive to sue me for emotional distress and disability. But a gunfight in my hose is the last thing I want. I just don't worry about it constantly. I generally don't conceal carry unless I think I may need to. A weapon is a pain in the ass. Well mine are anyway. They are tools with a specific purpose and not really suited for wearing in casual clothes. And I've never needed to use a weapon in my civilian life.
You'd have to ram a vehicle or use explosives to get into my house. I have multiple layers of security that alerts me when someone is trespassing. 99% chance they are shot before getting near the house.
What kind of neighborhood do you live in? 😂
Well if your statues and acuñture of that stupid so called Virgin Marie and stupid catholic Saint has super powers that you actually believe they do. They would guard your house 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
But nothing happends because stupid virgin Marie does not exist. Do you seriously believe the virgin Marie protects you from evil?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I tough you said the statuenof virgin Marie has super powers 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
.40 S&W by the bed.
12 Gauge by the door
.380 Ruger in the guest bedroom.
Multiple security cameras.
Motion sensing flood lights in back yard and front of garage.
My town is brimming with 'diversity'. It's our strength you know. LOL!
I place my bet on ''preemptive defense''.
An ''invasion'' is only feared by people with anxieties.
My strategy:
- don't ''show off'' ; keep a low profile
- let my dogs walk freely on my piece of ground
- not bragging online with my weaponry, or arsenal (remain unpredictable / unreadable)
- if anyone tries anyway: my toolbox has a variety of very handy ( :D ) items. To have no fixed plan makes me very flexible
This.
u Where Would you put that by your lamp next to your bed? if somebody breaks in you have like 20 seconds to get it going waking up from a sound sleep or do you have it in the closet and you have to fumble around in the middle of the night in the dark? I hope you don’t have children in your house where they can come in and grab your gun. When are you and your wife are sleeping?
@Iron_Man my glock is in a small safe by the bed. I can have it out in less than 10 seconds. All I got to do is cock it. 24 round expanded 9mm magazine.
I shoot glocks, very reliable and never had stoppages except that time I bought bad ammo. Can't remember what it was but a guy at the range pointed it out to me. Never had a problem since.
@Iron_Man I've an old ithaca shotgun from the 80s I think that my wife's grandfather gave me as he wasn't using it. Looking at maybe buying a beretta a300 shotgun.
I shot a mini a few years ago in california. He was the wife's cousin. He said he only had because of AR15 laws there that meant he couldn't have an AR15 with pistol grip and he could only have a 10 round magazine.
u I call the police. And good luck trying to kick in a German steel door.
Hell yeah!
UK here. Wait for the police to arrest *me* for attempting to defend myself and family.
m For long range defence, dart traps, which doesn't impress huge bros. So when these ones get too close to the yard, I turn the floor into lava. Teleporting sorcerers are annoying though, but their constitution is weak, fortunately
In my case, just put thick slippers because shoes would take to long, grab my phone, jump out the window since I'm on the first floor, run then call the cops. I'm in Europe, so no guns. And I'm a woman so it's better to run aways
My trusty Saturday Night Special.
we have an alarm system and both my husband and I know how to use firearms. We have hand guns and shot guns.
I lock the door.
Nonsense. Difficult to reach, always people there, little of value to steal, only one entrance/exit... It's about as unattractive as it gets. Someone who wants to break in to steal chooses a single family house and not a high risk place with nothing of value.
How about you try it with some proper arguments for once? Like explain which part of my last post is wrong 🤷♀️
@just_ken so you don't have any, thanks for confirming.
Your argument is based on a completely false premise. The vast majority of Europeans does not live in woodshacks with armed trash close and police far away from them.
@DryGermanGuy women in Germany can't celebrate new years without getting gang raped. The animals live fairly close to them
LOL. That's a prepper's fantasy. It's far more likely some family member dies from a gunshot wound.
Unlike a standard burglary where an offender typically targets an empty house to steal property, a home invasion (sometimes called a "hot prowl burglary") is specifically distinguished by the presence of the occupants. Law enforcement agencies consider these events highly dangerous due to the extreme potential for violent confrontation.
You are better off using a short-barreled shot gun. That way you won't miss.
Sounds like a good plan mine is pretty much the same minus the wife and kids
And the cops arrive and see you with a weapon in your hand and quickly shoot you dead. Not much of a plan.
Locked door and balcony. Also having nothing worth stealing is wize
Absolutely only my business based on I don't know you and you don't want to find out.
But I agree to always have a plan A B C of JIC!
Same as always. Dogs, and my shotgun.
Break in my house and find out lol
Call 911 and one warning
I guess if they're going to take the time to sit down on the couch it's more or less going to be wherever they are
And not 1 hole but 5 holes
one hole in one hole out and one hole on the couch and one hole out of the couch probably one hole in the wall too all with one warning shot not to move
I guess I need to come up with one
Live in Australia.
I feel like I say this to every question... but... you are more likely to be killed by bee stings here.
In the last five years (2020–2025), India has been the dominant source of immigrants to Australia, with its resident population growing by over 522,000 people to reach approximately 971,000. China and the Philippines followed as the next largest sources, with population increases of 223,000 and 171,000 respectively, while Nepal saw a significant rise of 163,000 new residents.
The overseas-born population reached 8.8 million (32.0% of the total) by June 2025, driven largely by post-pandemic migration booms.
YOU ARE BEING REPLACED.
Claymore roomba.
Are your homes being attacked? Seriously?
Guns.
Kill'em all.
