Deleted and moving to PM.

I still have a concern that a break in could happen while we are at home. However, whoever try that would be countered with deadly force.
As for my case, carrying at home is not "workable", my wife would consider this as extremely out of line, she could be certainly wrong in her views, but our life would be like living at 10,000 volt lines, very well charged.

Note: Drug related, drug deals went bad, bad debt for drugs, fighting about selling drugs, resulted in a "hit" at said apartment.

Good thing the TX law is on the right side (homeowners)

No ridicule was implied. In PM, I wrote about this thread:


I understand. I do live in the safest city in Collin County and maybe the safest city in TX. The most I fear is that my house would be cased and targeted (model house) while we are away at work, or out of town on weekend gateway. Like today, I asked my wife to stay in the car, while I peeked into my backyard first, then proceeded to "inspect" the house alone.

We have maybe once a year a "home invasion" in next town (McKinney) where the homeowner was shot in struggle. Burglar(s) were surprised that the homeowner was at home asleep at early night or late afternoon.

Other "home invasions" that happened at night are mostly in old parts of cities and it is more less drugs related.

Breaking in, while expecting someone inside is more or less a "hit" or someone is intended to rape, kill like what happened in New Heaven, CT.

And...

The video states that victim was a small business owner, a smoke shop, was she targeted because of the money, or because of other motives (drugs, tobacco smuggling, etc) we do not know. However, it sad what happened. But, having 3 Armed BGs breaking in is not fun at all and only a determined and well prepared homeowner can counter with adequate force.

Initially, I may have skipped the video, but maybe I should not do that again.

Thanks for the heads up.

And finally,...

Here is another fresh one in the very expensive area of Houston, I guess.

The owners walked into the house while being burglarized:

Something should be done against those BGs,

Another "home incident", bringing trouble home:

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas – Authorities are searching for suspects after a man was shot during an armed robbery at his house in southwest Harris County early Sunday.

It happened in the 4000 block of Westermill near Crested Green around 4:30 a.m.
Deputies said two brothers met a couple of women at the Colorado Club and invited them back to their house to hang out.

While carrying at home is a bit "freaky" for the average joe, or soccer mom, I can see where this is plausible. However, if someone does not feel safe in his house, I would say it is the time to move out to a better place. In case, this option is not possible for whatever reason, An AK, or Shotgun is a better home defense option. Carrying a Pistol at home maybe an option. However, at home I would say you should all the time be able to retrieve your shotgun or your preferred home defense weapon, if this is not possible, security measures are to be reviewed.
