Hmm. Replacing "home invasions" with "struck by lightning" in your search above yields 8,870,000 links.

I would much rather use a baseball bat, or my tire iron....but if I load and pull my gun.....I sadly know I will probably use the same...if you have ever hurt someone....even though you were in the right.....it is not a good feeling, and I really do not understand the pride so many have in talking about hurting someone.....once you have, you will realize what a terrible choice that moment will bring.

I have a piece of shrapnel from a Mark 81 GP bomb that was dropped by a USMC A-4 Sky Hawk fighter bomber over the Whiskey Impact Area at Camp Pendleton in 1980--the bomb missed the impact area and landed near where a bunch of Marines were positioned. Luckily, nobody got hurt. Someone gathered up all of the loose shrapnel, and I got a piece of it and put duct tape on one end so I had a handle. Any perp gets close enough to me with that thing in my hand, and his head will be split clean open.....
A question I have is why anyone would keep loaded weapons around their house when a small child lives there? It must be a redneck thing.... I remember my Dad once telling me a story from his childhood, where a neighborhood child was playing with a loaded weapon and accidentally killed another child with it. He would reiterate this story when talking about why he kept no loaded guns in our house when we were growing up.
But it would seem to me that if someone invades my home and tries to kill me and I have no weapon with which to fight back, that might even be a worse feeling wouldn't you think. lol2seaoat wrote:if you have ever hurt someone....even though you were in the right.....it is not a good feeling

Home invasions happen nearly every day in this country and most recently both counties have had such actions occur. You can choose to be a victim if you want. A cop cannot sit in everyone's driveway 24/7/365. Until then, I will arm up and use the Castle Doctrine to defend my home and family. I'm not alone in this mindset. You should have been out at the Quintette Gun Range Saturday. It was standing room only for all of the venues except the skeet range.
What are the odds that you will ever be a victim of a home invasion? Therefore there is no need to stockpile ammo unless you happen to be on of those crazy doomsday preppers. I have enough ammo for my weapons and it will do just fine for protecting my family and myself against petty criminals, however I am not about to go up against a well armed military, that would be completely insane.
There have been three just recently. That's the one's you HEAR about...
Get a copy of the latest American Riflemen magazine and read the PAGES of instances where a homeowner has had to defend themselves against a home invader or robber.
I see you are sidestepping the question. I don't care how many have been reported or how many go unreported, I ask what are the odds of YOU being a victim of a home invasion? Even if you are a victim, what is the need to stockpile so much ammo? I know you talk a big talk, but there is no way that you would go against a well armed military, unless you have a death wish.

The odds seem to go up every day. I won't have to make excuses why I wasn't ready when the time comes. Better to be prepared and not need it than to need it and not be prepared. Why do you prep for a hurricane? Same reason.

That's not why you are advocating guns and ammo and we know it. You are changing your tune now since you were called out on the other thread about advocating a revolt against your Commander-in-Chief when you are in the reserves.

You boys are gonna be lucky to hold Bayfront Parkway for five minutes. By the time Obama and the first wave of those commies hit Garden Street, it's gonna be like Little Big Horn all over again.
