I feel confident that you have the qualifications to exit your house and pursue...I would be yelling "Call 911!" on my way out...snatchel wrote:
This. I'm not going to let someone on do my wrong on my property, and just wait till the police get there. It's not in my personality. It's not what I was trained to do. A lot of folks dont think you should venture out when there is no immediate threat to you or your family for safety reasons.. and that is fine. I just see things differently.
Odds are heavily in my favor that 6 years of SWCC has me better trained and tactically sound than your average thug. Chances are equally in my favor that I am better armed. I know the terrain better. If I survived heavy fighting in Afghanistan, and relatively heavy fighting in the streets of Iraq only to be smoked by some creep snooping around my house in the middle of the night, I'll accept that as Gods' will. I'm insured, and have relatively good life insurance so my wife will be able to live comfy
And sorry about your Ridgeback.
