No one should ever do time for shooting a burglar. Once they invade your home they are posing a threat to your family and your property. A man or woman has the right to defend his or her family and property by any mean necessary.
Absolutely and if your state allows that. Argue that point as hard as you can. A lot of people don't realize its usually not safe to retreat, and I will not put my own life in danger to save some idiot who breaks into my house.
I agree completely, and I also wish I could scalp them and nail the flesh to my door as a warning to other would-be thugs who'd dare break into my home.
My step mom is blind and disabled, so she stays home all day. Someone tried to break in while she was home alone but ran off once they heard her calling out to ask who was there. Dad and I go home(worried together at the time), we obviously call the cops to be safe, and they told us that middle of the day is actually a really popular time for home invasions because it's most likely when the house will be empty.
"-everyone in your household should be taught how to use a firearm properly - including children," absolutely fantastic. I also appreciate and respect that you included ego management in this video: Your first goal *should be* to flee to safety, but if that isn't an option then a firearm is a good alternative. Thank you!
Your first priority should be to waste the scumbags willing to enter your home with force. Less dirtbags to victimize the next group who may die because they believe in gun control and are helpless.
@@williamsorensen3958 he sounds like a red blooded AMERICAN to me! Don’t let people come in to your home with bad intentions get the best of you or your loved ones!
How to survive home invasions? 1) Be a kid. 2) Plant Traps in the doors. 3) Don't wish for your Family to Vanish. 4) Have a creepy neighbor but it turns out he was a cool grandfather. 5) Last but not the least, Dont make too many Home Alone movies it died out when Home Alone 2 was released.
I'm surprised they didn't give any more tips about "once you're actually invaded" besides just shooting the guy. I heard in a video recently that one of the best things you can do is turn off your lights, because you know your own house better than the invader does, so you should be able to still navigate it effectively in the dark if you need to hide or find a weapon.
@@nikolaos6083 You get the drop on them because you can see the light in the darkness. You can see them coming from anywhere in the house. Ever seen someone shine a flash light in pitch darkness in your house? It lights up almost the entire place, light reflects. You can see the light from around more corners than you'd think.
I slept through a home invasion. There were around 5 men and I was a teen girl alone in the house. I pretended to be asleep. They didn’t hurt me. My dad shouted at me for not fighting them off after he found out. They took projectors, laptops, even my dad’s car toy collection
I live in a state with a stand your ground law. So if a person invades your house you can be 911. Hey it takes the cops on average 11 minutes to come and a bullet can go over 2,600 feet per second.
How to survive a home invasion... Step 1: Do not invade my house... Step 2: Apply pressure to the wound... Step 3: This is just hindsight at this point, you probably should've listened to step One....
I don't know what the laws are but I have been in a mental hospital before but it was when I was a minor and if I could somehow be tested again I would be judged as more than competent. I have no criminal record and have countless people that could vouch for me. I also for much of my life would live alone. So is there a legal path to me owning a firearm if I could be tested by any number of mental health professionals?
@Steven Ohakwe who said anything about a gun?... This is my house, its gonna take a lot more planning to invade my house even with a gun... You've never been here, I know where to ambush... day or night... like step number 3 you should've payed more attention to step 1....
What's a castle law? I live in Florida and we are still a stand your ground state. I'm taking it any state that's a blue star means you can not legally defend yourself even in your own home, smdh
@@ITIsFunnyDamnIT Precisely. In fact, sickly there's some blue states that will protect the intruder if you use a gun to defend yourself which would otherwise be legal in another state.
@@bloodwraith729 it's not in every state. There's some you'll get in trouble for it if you don't do XYZ and making lethal force your last option. For example some states, including mine at one point used to be one, you HAD TO FLEE before you could defend yourself, there's instances of people not doing so and getting sadly years in prison.
Well with all the American-made weapons in the hands of the Taliban im sure you'll be able to get your hands on a quality used M4 at your local black market soon
@@Zer0_Cool69 He is saying that, since guns are severely limited if not completely banned by most of the world's governments, that civilians will need to go to the black market to buy a gun illegally. I was just saying that the Taliban just got control of Afghanistan and with it all the weapons the US left for the Afghanistan army (which surrendered everything to the Taliban). Some of those weapons will be used by the Taliban and some will be sold illegally around the world.
@@magnanimus9692 pretty sure they disabled the planes and choppers that were left there and took weapons n hit off the aircrafts so they aren't getting much. they aren't so dumb as to leave a huge cache of weapons for the enemy even though they are American
If you own a firearm, you need to know how to use it. Owning a gun is straight up constitution friendly, but everyone should know how to use it properly. Imo they should teach it in public school, under close supervision
As someone who has survived a home invasion at 15 years old, in my case they were there for nothing but violence and ill say.. it happens fast, like super quick leaving you no time to think. Get out of the house get to a phone and call the cops, you want to make sure someone's coming for you before you get yourself in trouble charging in there. number 2 be prepared for no one to want to help you. Most people don't want to involve themselves in a life or death situation, if you're overtaken 9 times out of 10 good luck and if you're gonna tote weapons which is your right in my belief TRAIN WITH IT OFTEN.
As a Canadian I have no say in the matter... please carry on and Sorry for interrupting eh... except it's *Swiss Cheese... but thats ok, thats on me... I'm sorry...
Personally I have never had an issue with a semiautomatic shotgun (but I've always stayed away from the cheap ones)... You just need to find an ammunition it likes and clean it periodically... But I have run into a few issues with pump shotguns when not maintained! But the pumps are not as picky with the ammo. I keep a Walther 9mm and IWI TS12 around for home defense. The TS12 is a bullpup shotgun, which keeps it short allowing it to work well in tight areas (e.g. a hallway).
good ole ar-15 gets it done just fine. ideally u would want a 9mm for home defense specifically due to lower pen chance. but for all around 556 is what u need
You always have to keep caution with any gun. Ik a police chief of TWRA or the Tennessee wildlife resource agency. And one time a guy was hunting with his buddy and the guy had a very expensive double barrel and he laid it down and ya the gun shot his friend in the side where your ribs are
@@waxpen3374 ya I would think a double barrel shotgun would donit becuase it double the shot so you can shoot a warning shot and then if that don't stop then you already got another one in the chamber
Interesting how no other county needs guns or 2nd amendment. The US mentality to firearms is really broken and statistically you'll more likely get shot than be doing the shooting
I just 2 short pieces of black pipe & a tennis ball for a buckshot slider cannon. Cops are going to want " the gun " anyways. I can leave it out & nobody even knows what it is besides scrap piping.
In certain states or common wealths like Kentucky you can shoot someone just for walking on your property. Or so I was told not 100% sure of that. It makes sense in certain instances. Someone could be on your property trying to steal livestock or whatever just something that might be used to make your livelihood
@@Zer0_Cool69 I would not shoot someone for being on the property, unless they are threatening your life. Stand your ground will only go so far but wont save you from "oh I saw he walked on to my property.".
Dogs. A copule of mid to large sized dogs will keep you safe enough just by being around. When living in russia, bears are also quite good. But I would rather go with dogs since they don't need as much food as a full sized bear...now that I think about it I think I might need a bear just for the fun of it.
Many intruders aren't deterred by dogs. Leaving treats or some raw meat out is enough to remove most of them from the equation. If a burglar is breaking in, they've probably cased the house out already and prepared for the dogs. The dogs they don't want to deal with above any other are the small yapping dogs, as many of them will still bark even if given a treat.
AR 15 hands down the better tool here, especially running varmint rounds. the chance of over pen is lower at the cost of stopping power but you have another 29 rounds of hate in the mag
AR15 is actually is not good for home defense. Just get a shotgun. A .556 round will go through the bad guy, through the wall, and through the wall of your neighbor’s house and that’s if you even hit the bad guy. Killing your neighbor will land you in prison.
@@tallflguy That can happen with 9mm as well. That's why hollow points are used in self defense. I personally prefer to have my Glock 19 over my m4 for home defense but both are completely fine.
@@tallflguy You couldn’t be more wrong on all fronts. The 5-56/.223 was designed to tumble after hitting something hard lessening the stopping power. And why would you recommend a shotgun? That’s FAR worse. You have overpenetration, usability issues, hearing damage, and far less ammo. I recommend you watch the warrior poet society’s videos on home defense.
@@HypocrisyInbound Isn't the 5.56 being designed to tumble and/or fracture on soft targets is where all the stopping power comes from though? A round that stops and breaks apart inside your body delivers more energy into you than a round that just goes through you.
I made my house a hard target but God created man, Col Colt made them equal. I like John Moses Browning's Model 1911. In SC if someone breaks in and you believe they are a threat, you can fight
Violence only create more violence. AND theifs are armed because as you said you woud fight. Now its a matter Of protection for the theif to be armed. Or else they woud show up to a house Rob it and have a big chance to be shot. Therefore this problem only exist because the us need stricter gunlaws This wont stop pepol from stealing But the theif wont be armed.
@@vald-qb2ow Many burglars are actually unarmed, other than their tools, and would sprint off at the sign of confrontation. Though you never really know for sure. Since you never really know for sure, I'll settle with keeping my family safe with the use of firearms.
@@vald-qb2ow That's not the proper question. The correct question is: when would you come to rob the place? In the US, due to the risk of facing an armed homeowner, they come during the day when everyone is at work. In other countries with strict gun laws, they come during the night with some weapon to force people to not just rob the place but also target the homeowner (to do such things such as disable alarms, send wire transfers, etc).
I admit i was expecting some anti gun nonsense but this was not only a reasonable (how to) video but very well done. Way to be infographics! Also for anyone looking to buy your first gun i want you to know its a huge responsibility, and you need to 100% let go of your ego. Every gun owner is a representative of the gun owning community so its important to always be safe, sane, sober, and moral at all times.
It was pretty passive aggressive anti gun, 9mm and 12 can go through as many walls as an AR but you don't need a AR, just grab yourself a shotgun and two blast off in the air like good old Joe
@@SETSfirearms yeah, that was my thoughts as well. AR15s are very easy to shoot. In fact, I'd say easier than a 12 gauge. This seemed very fudd-ish to me.
Pick the correct ammunition, regardless if it’s a pistol, rifle, or shotgun. Get some training and perhaps get something like USCCA in the event you have to use your weapon.
Dumbest thing I've ever heard. Shooting a home invader threatening your lives should be seen as a courageous act of duty, not grounds to get locked up in prison.
It is a courageous act of duty, but illegal in certain jurisdictions where the law is on the criminal's side. Don't forget most politicians are crooks themselves. In that case you'd have to hide/dispose of the burglar's body somehow and erase all the evidence; blood stains, etc.
7:27 Most home invasions do not take place at night, that is false. Most home invasions actually take place during work hours. Burglars typically bust in when the inhabitants are gone. This is so they don't have to deal with gramps busting out the ATA Arms Etro Tactical 12 Gauge Pump-Action Hunting Shotgun or gramma calling the police.
A home invasion and a burglary are 2 different things a burglary is more likely to happen during the day while the house is empty and a home invasion is more likely to happen at night burglary sneaky home invasion kick in the door wave the 44
One of the best things they talked about in my ccw class is that ANYTHING is a deadly weapon. If the intruder has any object in his hand that could potentially cause death, even if it’s a nail clipper, that’s a deadly threat. Luckily in the state I live a home intruder doesn’t need to be armed to taste lead nor do they need to be warned their about to.
How to survive home invasions in 3 easy steps: 1. target train your biggest lizard using dark colors (black, grey, dark grey) 2. if you here glass break, let said lizard loose 3. watch as the lizard tears the criminal to shreds
Suggesting children to learn firearm safety was a very very good thing to hear. Every person should go through firearms safety, even if they don't plan on owning one
If someone breaks into my house and doesn’t manage to take me out, I’m going to disembowel them… at least they won’t be breaking into anyone else’s house for some time to come
I agree about teaching your children gun usage/safety. I know I learned at a young age, and at 40 years old I still remember and respect everything I learned. Me and my 9 mm will be ok
I love you, Infographics Show! You have always spoken truthfully about firearms, the need for training for safe and effective use of them, and their use as crucial and necessary tools of defense. You do it without political grandstanding, but by approaching the matter through a practical viewpoint. Thank you a thousand times from the Second Amendment community in the USA. You express the sentiments that we wish to convey; firearms are tools. Use of any tool necessitates proper knowledge and safety precautions, from air compressors to AK-47's
I actually kinda disagree with the whole “ safe room” point.I have to focus on clearing rooms, with potential bad guys running around, and with my family scrambling around for a safe room/ exit. That’s more random variables, more people I have to positively ID, more people making noises, and if a person gets caught by one of the bad guys, that’s a hostage situation and you re not working your way out of that one if you are running a shotty. How I was taught for home invasions if you are by yourself is to barricade the room, get out of the fatal funnel ( doorway) and post up and deal with any threats that try to break in. You can probably have all your family members do that in whatever room that they are in, so makes it a hassle for the intruder to get in, they are in a stationary place out of the fight, and it’s pretty simple to confirm that they are in there, and keeps them out of your way while you go to work. Love to hear other people opinions.
One of the most informative things I have been told is that I a person breaks in during the day they are there to steal stuff. They are trying to avoid you being home. If they break in at night they are there to hurt you, and if you end them you're probably doing Society a favor.
Glad I have a dog. At first I thought he wouldn't hurt a fly, but when my dad unexplectedly came home when he was supposed to spend the night at his new girl friend's and my dog heard something he went right for the front door growling like a monster
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video Infographics!!! I was already a huge fan, but even more so now. You left the politics out and provided great common sense information. I LOVE IT!!
AR15s in 5.56 are the best option for most people and part of that is that 5.56 penetrates less interior walls than service pistol calibers and buckshot. It's the most responsible and effective choice for home defense. Shotguns are not near as good as a rifle and inside a home. They are basically a rifle inside a home because the buckshot spread will only be about 2-3". Combine that with much higher recoil and much less capacity easily make it a less optimal tool than an AR15.
Imagine you break into someone’s home and they just whip out the RPK-74 7.62 175 round mag man operated machine gun and all what’s left of you now is red mist
In places where killing a thief is illegal, you'll have to learn to dispose of the body. Evil laws don't give you any other choice. This doesn't apply to those that ask for spiritual protection of course.
Instead,; 1. Support firearm civil rights 2. Get a firearm (12 gauge or glock 19 good choice for home defence) 3. Get trained on tactical shooting Congratulations, you have the safest home in the neighbourhood.
A decent gun collection is very helpful. And also like this video said youth education on firearms is very important my 11 year old daughter has been shooting since she was 8, my 7 year old daughter doesn’t shoot yet but loves coming to the range and understands the firearms and the safety. I hope I never have to use any of my firearms in a situation like this but a have a decent collection of many different types and calibers just in case.
My personal firearm I have for home defense is a 20 gauge, double barrel, pistol grip, short barrel shot gun, loaded with bird shot. Easy to use, with plenty enough stopping power, that, most importantly, won't go through the walls. This is why I selected this firearm. I don't have to worry about accidentally hitting some one or something I can't see, especially if I miss
Most firearm instructors recommend against birdshot in favor of #4 buckshot. Birdshot is unreliable for self-defense purposes at any range beyond 7 feet. Most of the people I talk to who use birdshot for self defense are extremely resistant to this advice or doing any research, so chances are you also wont take it to heart, but hey it's your life that's on the line so you do you. In either case I wish you the best.
I like how they added children should also be trained with firearms not only for the reason of using them but for the reason of being safe with/around them
Twenty years ago, when I was 17, I watched Dateline’s “How to survive a hostage situation,” and was taken hostage the next day, in my own home. I survived because of that video. I watch this in horror today, wondering what’s next…
Yes valuables can be replaced but at the same time if you let someone take advantage of you, they will keep taking advantage of you and if you live in a bad area, you might need to make an example of them.
Shotguns typically have long barrels & can be difficult to maneuver in CQB for smaller stature people. A PCC like the MP5 is better suited for home defense.
Shame the BATFE is super gay and you have to pay and extra $200 tax and a year long wait for a SBR. Oh it's not a rifle, well it is now. God I hate that agency.
A PCC can also be suppressed which is essential in a life-or-death firearms fight indoors and in the dark. (As if we need another reason to hate the ATF and Democrat-run states lol)
@@Lowtan Uh-oh. I was hoping it was. Everything was solid EXCEPT for the firearm-selection advice. The points he made about which gun to use and why is all garbage advice for many reasons.
I'm blessed with being an American. I can actually own firearms unlike most "free" countries. I'm good. Got two handguns, loaded with hollow points and an AR15. I actually have a sign at my front and back door saying, "To all uninvited guests, I cannot guarantee your safety."
infographics if the home owners owns guns they will stand their ground and will shoot the home intruder they will not run to a safe room like a scared person if the homeowner is former military they would fight and give the intruders a beat down having a flag in the yard for a military branch like the army or marines would make a intruder think twice
I disagree, clearing a home by yourself is a bad idea and puts you at a tactical disadvantage. It is best to arm yourself and get your family to a defendable position. Do not open fire on a door opening without identifying the target. Someone breaks in my house as long as they don’t come near my family they can take what they want, if they do come I’ll be in a better position to take them out.
6:10 Pistols actually jam up sometimes, so God forbid you pull out yours as a burglar pulls out his (or hers) and it jams, you’d be in some trouble. A good pick that never jams is actually a revolver, you know, the Western guns. It’s mechanism is so simple it can not possibly jam, and those are the most reliable kind. As for efficiency with smaller/weaker members of your family, I’m not really sure.
The best way to avoid home invasion is to have a solid wood door that opens outward that would give you about 15 seconds to react instead of one second
In Europe many have huge problems in this respect: 1) no castle doctrine amd difficult weapon laws. If you can own a gun, it's likely that you need to lock it in a gun safe with the ammunition somewhere else. 2) living in flats in the upper floor (only one way to escape and whl controlls the corridor can prevent movement to all rooms) 3) living for rent means that you cannot upgrade security

3:14 Actually, dogs arent the BEST deterrent, in fact, a "beware of dog" sign tells robbers that there is not a motion sensor in the house that can trigger an alarm, because there's a dog walking around all night, but, a loud dog is useful, just not a beware of dog sign.

Lock your windows and door, get a set of Blink cameras from Amazon for $150, get a dog, get a gun, leave a light on, and then you can stop wasting your money on rent that you'll never recoup and have the assets of a house which can actually make you money one day.
I have two dogs that have been raised to guard me. Suka 130 lb female German Rottweiler, and Zeus my purebred 110 lb blue nose pit. I am also very well-armed throughout the house. I'm 5 ft 8 in about 3-4 years ago at 4 in the morning during August someone tried to walk through the front door. I gave the alert signal who is it not to the door but to my dogs. When I open the door there was some guy little over 6 ft he immediately started saying my bad my bad. The dogs immediately cornered him, I just yelled at him to get out he didn't live in this neighborhood . I came back into the house grab a handgun waited about 5 minutes. Later when I stepped out to see if he was gone he was going house to house trying the front door. He realized I was seeing him and he started walking towards me apologizing I told him to stay back don't come closer. When he got within 15 ft of me I fired two rounds in the air and he took off running. I've never seen him again but one of the neighbors claims he was a former student at the school we both worked at.
Once they recommended a shotgun or a 9mm, both well known by actual ballistics and CQB experts for excessive collateral damage and overpenetration over “a civilian assault rifle such as an M4,” I gotta discredit the whole video.
There's so much misinformation here regarding weapon choice. Normally I'd laugh it off but lives could be at stake here. First of all, there's a difference between troops overseas at war and home defense against burglars. The reason that it took the AR 15 platform multiple hits to down enemies was because modern body armor is extremely effective at stopping the 5.56 caliber of the AR 15. Furthermore, at ranges past 600m, where soldiers were frequently engaging, the 5.56 caliber's ballistic performance suffers drastically. That said, if you're trying to defend your home from a burglar, they probably aren't wearing level IV plates and your home probably isn't 6 'Murican football fields long. The AR 15 platform is ideal for home defense. Contrary to popular belief and what's stated in the video, the 5.56 caliber of an AR 15 does not overpenetrate through drywall nearly as much as the 9mm pistol caliber or buckshot from a 12 Gauge (the most common shotgun home defense round). You can find videos on overpenetration on youtube as proof. As you are only engaging in close quarters, you will want a short barreled rifle (SBR) with a barrel around 10 inches long. The shorter barrel will allow for more maneuverability within tight spaces. However, be aware of the federal/state laws on SBR's. Alternatively, you could get a AR 15 pistol, which is an SBR but with a "pistol brace" instead of the stock. Functionally, a pistol brace and a stock are nearly identical. Furthermore, you'll need a flashlight on your home defense weapon, regardless of whether it's a rifle or a pistol. This is absolutely necessary. Ideally, your AR 15 should have a suppressor, but if laws or finances prevent you from having one, make sure you have some sort of muzzle device like a compensator to divert flash. Muzzle flash in the dark can be disorienting, and prevent you from making effective follow up shots. Lastly, and most importantly, make sure you have some sort of red dot or holographic sight on your weapon. This makes target acquisition much faster, and you may not be able to see iron sights in the dark. A pistol can be an alternative, but it should not be your first choice. Nonetheless, if a pistol is your only option, go with a 9mm as the video said. 9mm handguns have less recoil and larger magazine capacity compared to .45 ACP, which allows for more effective follow up shots. Although .45 ACP is larger and more powerful, "stopping power" has been largely proven to be a myth. There are many great 9mm handgun options on the market, referred to as the "wonder nines", which include handguns from Glock, Sig Sauer, Smith and Wesson, HK, Ruger, and more. As with the rifle, make sure your home defense handgun has a flashlight and ideally a red dot sight. Muzzle device optional unless you're John Wick (you're not). If you do decide to go with a pistol for home defense, make sure you practice frequently. Even experienced shooters tend to neglect to train with their pistols because they're not as much fun as rifles. Generally I would not recommend shotguns for home defense. This is because federal laws require shotgun barrels to be longer than rifle barrels, making them awkward to manipulate in close quarters. Furthermore, most shotguns only hold around 8 rounds, while a standard rifle magazine holds 30 rounds. One argument people make for shotguns is that buckshot "fans out" so you don't have to be as accurate. This is extremely misleading when it comes to home defense. Shotguns in real life do not "fan out" nearly as much as they do in video games. Within close quarters, there is barely any dispersion, meaning you still have to be very accurate. This brings me to my next point, which is that buckshot at close quarters acts more like a slug than loose pellets. It can easily overpenetrate through drywall, injuring anyone on the other side. The recoil on shotguns is also much greater, meaning your follow up shots will be slower and less accurate. Tl,Dr: Get an AR 15 for home defense. Have the barrel length be around 10 inches (within legality of course). Mount a flashlight, red dot sight, and suppressor (again, legality) on it. If you sweep through your home looking for a home intruder, don't do it alone; if possible, have someone come with you. Obviously what I've just said are the words of some random keyboard warrior on the internet. Do your own research and find your own conclusions. Most importantly, remember that the best gun is the one you train with.
@Steven Ohakwe I just want to remind people that you can't always believe what you see on the internet. Always do your research from multiple reliable sources, and come to your own conclusions
Not mentioned is the military uses fmj rounds almost exclusively in their rifles. Switch to soft points or ballistic tipped rounds, and the rifle is a far better tool for defending the home with much less recoil than a shotgun.
"Shooting an intruder, that isn't a direct threat, can land you in jail" So basically what you're saying is, after shooting him, grab one of your kitchen knives and put in his hand before the cops get there. "He took a knife from my kitchen and came at me in a threatening manner, officer. He left me no options." Got it.
No no no XD. Having a knife is not necessary to constitute a deadly threat. If you feel reasonably threatened, you can shoot. If you don't feel threatened but you shoot anyway, you're going to jail, and extra steps you take to cover it up will only make your sentence worse.
The part about the AR15s taking too many shots and punching holes is true... except, rounds we use for home defense are much different than military rounds. FMJ rounds, which are what militaries under the geneva convention must use, dont expand well, and have a tendency to punch straight through targets without conveying much energy. Certain hollow points or soft tips however will be more lethal, and be less likely to punch through walls. Also, 5.56 isnt the only caliber AR15s come in. A .300 blk, being a but slower, probably wont punch through so many walls, especially if you use high expansion "varmint" rounds. These will also transfer more of their energy into the target. If you read this whole thing btw, thank you 😁
6:25 "...it doesn't have the stopping power of a 45... ...you're not looking to take out a squad of enemy infantries with body armor..." Okay, no disrespect against the .45 I personally have more .45 lead spitters than 9mm, I love the .45, but if I had to face a squad equipped with body armor all by myself, neither of those 2 calibers would be adequate. In fact, no caliber would, I'd have to call in an air strike, but them I wouldn't be by myself now, would I?
1. AR15s are perfectly fine. Pistols work perfectly fine. Shotguns work exceptionally well. 2. M4s are very rare to see in the hands of the American public. You won’t have one if you aren’t reasonably wealthy 3. Take classes with your preferred home defense weapon. Be it a rifle, pistol or shotgun 4. Awareness is the currency in which we use to buy time
You need to be fairly accurate with a shotgun particularly at close range, it doesn't spread as much as you'd think. Unless you make an illegal sawed off/ short barrel shotgun which is technically regulated under the 1934 NFA. (Even then it doesn't spread that much). I guess you could also make an AOW or pistol shotgun too. But do what you want this is not legal advice nor am I a lawyer
Gun guy here, a handgun is a horrible choice for home defense aiming can be hard especially under pressure. For ease of use go with a 12 gauge with 00 buck shot. An AR is actually a good option for women and children because of recoil
In regards of the 9mm pistol you guys recommend, a handgun is harder to aim, manage recoil, and stop a threat with the least amount of bullets shot; that is if you do not have a full size 6 to 7 inches barrel and it takes 16 rounds, any other size pistol would be very difficult. Now, you guys also talk about rifles and specially the ar-15 platform, and while I agree with some of what you guys said. I also believe that for an average to small size home a short barrel rifle(sbr) or an AR-15 pistol will be more than ideal. This is because you would get multiple points of contact, it would be very easy to manage recoil, and in the event that a not so strong person (a kid, petite person, etc) is the one that has to pull that trigger, it would be way easier to manipulate in a stressful situation. In addition, a rifle will offer a larger capacity of fire ( with most states allowing 30 rounds magazines) and the loudness of the rifle firing will be loud enough that it will alert your neighborhood, and hopefully someone will call 911 in the event that you didn't have the opportunity to do so.
No one should ever do time for shooting a burglar. Once they invade your home they are posing a threat to your family and your property. A man or woman has the right to defend his or her family and property by any mean necessary.
Absolutely and if your state allows that. Argue that point as hard as you can. A lot of people don't realize its usually not safe to retreat, and I will not put my own life in danger to save some idiot who breaks into my house.
The Important word here is "necessary"
I agree completely, and I also wish I could scalp them and nail the flesh to my door as a warning to other would-be thugs who'd dare break into my home.
Gruesome but effective
Have you seen texas?
My step mom is blind and disabled, so she stays home all day. Someone tried to break in while she was home alone but ran off once they heard her calling out to ask who was there. Dad and I go home(worried together at the time), we obviously call the cops to be safe, and they told us that middle of the day is actually a really popular time for home invasions because it's most likely when the house will be empty.
Yes, sometimes even neighbors could be involved because they know how many people live in the home and at what time they leave.
They make alarms with panic buttons installed and wearable
Get a sign to put on the door that reads "Jittery Blind Woman With Shotgun Inside" and see who's foolish enough to go in unannounced.

But I have run into a few issues with pump shotguns when not maintained! But the pumps are not as picky with the ammo.
I keep a Walther 9mm and IWI TS12 around for home defense.
The TS12 is a bullpup shotgun, which keeps it short allowing it to work well in tight areas (e.g. a hallway).
Walther nice cant go wrong
Ya but even tho it's expensive it's still dangerous.

Alarm dogs are great. Ones that bark a lot when something seems off.
Many intruders aren't deterred by dogs. Leaving treats or some raw meat out is enough to remove most of them from the equation. If a burglar is breaking in, they've probably cased the house out already and prepared for the dogs. The dogs they don't want to deal with above any other are the small yapping dogs, as many of them will still bark even if given a treat.
@Pawsome Everest I think he’s serious
AR 15 hands down the better tool here, especially running varmint rounds. the chance of over pen is lower at the cost of stopping power but you have another 29 rounds of hate in the mag
AR15 is actually is not good for home defense. Just get a shotgun. A .556 round will go through the bad guy, through the wall, and through the wall of your neighbor’s house and that’s if you even hit the bad guy. Killing your neighbor will land you in prison.
@@tallflguy ummm what no a 556 hollow point will not do any of that

I love you, Infographics Show! You have always spoken truthfully about firearms, the need for training for safe and effective use of them, and their use as crucial and necessary tools of defense. You do it without political grandstanding, but by approaching the matter through a practical viewpoint. Thank you a thousand times from the Second Amendment community in the USA. You express the sentiments that we wish to convey; firearms are tools. Use of any tool necessitates proper knowledge and safety precautions, from air compressors to AK-47's
I actually kinda disagree with the whole “ safe room” point.I have to focus on clearing rooms, with potential bad guys running around, and with my family scrambling around for a safe room/ exit. That’s more random variables, more people I have to positively ID, more people making noises, and if a person gets caught by one of the bad guys, that’s a hostage situation and you re not working your way out of that one if you are running a shotty.
How I was taught for home invasions if you are by yourself is to barricade the room, get out of the fatal funnel ( doorway) and post up and deal with any threats that try to break in. You can probably have all your family members do that in whatever room that they are in, so makes it a hassle for the intruder to get in, they are in a stationary place out of the fight, and it’s pretty simple to confirm that they are in there, and keeps them out of your way while you go to work.
Love to hear other people opinions.
One of the most informative things I have been told is that I a person breaks in during the day they are there to steal stuff. They are trying to avoid you being home. If they break in at night they are there to hurt you, and if you end them you're probably doing Society a favor.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video Infographics!!! I was already a huge fan, but even more so now. You left the politics out and provided great common sense information. I LOVE IT!!
AR15s in 5.56 are the best option for most people and part of that is that 5.56 penetrates less interior walls than service pistol calibers and buckshot. It's the most responsible and effective choice for home defense.
Shotguns are not near as good as a rifle and inside a home. They are basically a rifle inside a home because the buckshot spread will only be about 2-3". Combine that with much higher recoil and much less capacity easily make it a less optimal tool than an AR15.
Yes I love that you guys tell about respecting the weapon and the safe use of the firearm. Finally some good words for us 2a people
That part was surprisingly good, but the actual firearm-selection advice was garbage.
Imagine you break into someone’s home and they just whip out the RPK-74 7.62 175 round mag man operated machine gun and all what’s left of you now is red mist
In places where killing a thief is illegal, you'll have to learn to dispose of the body. Evil laws don't give you any other choice. This doesn't apply to those that ask for spiritual protection of course.
Instead,;
1. Support firearm civil rights
2. Get a firearm (12 gauge or glock 19 good choice for home defence)
3. Get trained on tactical shooting

My personal firearm I have for home defense is a 20 gauge, double barrel, pistol grip, short barrel shot gun, loaded with bird shot. Easy to use, with plenty enough stopping power, that, most importantly, won't go through the walls.
This is why I selected this firearm. I don't have to worry about accidentally hitting some one or something I can't see, especially if I miss
Most firearm instructors recommend against birdshot in favor of #4 buckshot. Birdshot is unreliable for self-defense purposes at any range beyond 7 feet.
Most of the people I talk to who use birdshot for self defense are extremely resistant to this advice or doing any research, so chances are you also wont take it to heart, but hey it's your life that's on the line so you do you. In either case I wish you the best.

this is helpful but i also have a hollow metal towel rack next to my bed that I can use as a weapon
Oh wow yea dude you're basically unstoppable with that.
Yep! I have an ADT sign that I got from someone I know who installs the security system. 👍🏼👍🏼
infographics if the home owners owns guns they will stand their ground and will shoot the home intruder they will not run to a safe room like a scared person if the homeowner is former military they would fight and give the intruders a beat down having a flag in the yard for a military branch like the army or marines would make a intruder think twice
Tell me you watch alot of tv and movies without telling me you watch a lot of tv and movies....
I know residential burglars that specifically target homes with military flags because the odds of guns inside are good

I disagree, clearing a home by yourself is a bad idea and puts you at a tactical disadvantage. It is best to arm yourself and get your family to a defendable position. Do not open fire on a door opening without identifying the target. Someone breaks in my house as long as they don’t come near my family they can take what they want, if they do come I’ll be in a better position to take them out.
6:10 Pistols actually jam up sometimes, so God forbid you pull out yours as a burglar pulls out his (or hers) and it jams, you’d be in some trouble. A good pick that never jams is actually a revolver, you know, the Western guns. It’s mechanism is so simple it can not possibly jam, and those are the most reliable kind. As for efficiency with smaller/weaker members of your family, I’m not really sure.
My 2nd amendment is too strong here for home invasions bruh
but what about your 7th or 9th?
@@funny8823 the 2nd ensures you can fight for all the rest if tyranny infringes on your rights
This is ONE of the many reasons we have the second amendment & WHY we should not be limited to our choice of firearms.
Having lots of security means that you are protecting something valuable. So just keep your house open and no one would suspect a thing.
So true! Red headband really does not fit well with that brown-black assault rifle. 🤣
The best way to avoid home invasion is to have a solid wood door that opens outward that would give you about 15 seconds to react instead of one second
In Europe many have huge problems in this respect:
1) no castle doctrine amd difficult weapon laws. If you can own a gun, it's likely that you need to lock it in a gun safe with the ammunition somewhere else.
2) living in flats in the upper floor (only one way to escape and whl controlls the corridor can prevent movement to all rooms)
3) living for rent means that you cannot upgrade security
How to survive a home invasion
1. Play welcome to the jungle or fortunate son through a Bluetooth speaker
2. Grab your medicinal m60
3. Rip your shirt off and get a bandanna
4. Die because you wasted too much time
Forgot step 5: get teabagged
I thought you could dodge
3:14 Actually, dogs arent the BEST deterrent, in fact, a "beware of dog" sign tells robbers that there is not a motion sensor in the house that can trigger an alarm, because there's a dog walking around all night, but, a loud dog is useful, just not a beware of dog sign.
How to evade a home invasion as a single woman: rent an apartment, preferably 3rd floor and above. This is one reason I have not bought a single house since being divorced...I would feel like a sitting duck with it just being me.
buy guns. its a fun hobby and could save your life.
Lock your windows and door, get a set of Blink cameras from Amazon for $150, get a dog, get a gun, leave a light on, and then you can stop wasting your money on rent that you'll never recoup and have the assets of a house which can actually make you money one day.
I have two dogs that have been raised to guard me. Suka 130 lb female German Rottweiler, and Zeus my purebred 110 lb blue nose pit. I am also very well-armed throughout the house. I'm 5 ft 8 in about 3-4 years ago at 4 in the morning during August someone tried to walk through the front door. I gave the alert signal who is it not to the door but to my dogs. When I open the door there was some guy little over 6 ft he immediately started saying my bad my bad. The dogs immediately cornered him, I just yelled at him to get out he didn't live in this neighborhood . I came back into the house grab a handgun waited about 5 minutes. Later when I stepped out to see if he was gone he was going house to house trying the front door. He realized I was seeing him and he started walking towards me apologizing I told him to stay back don't come closer. When he got within 15 ft of me I fired two rounds in the air and he took off running. I've never seen him again but one of the neighbors claims he was a former student at the school we both worked at.
Having a gun helps a whole lot
Once they recommended a shotgun or a 9mm, both well known by actual ballistics and CQB experts for excessive collateral damage and overpenetration over “a civilian assault rifle such as an M4,” I gotta discredit the whole video.
There's so much misinformation here regarding weapon choice. Normally I'd laugh it off but lives could be at stake here.
First of all, there's a difference between troops overseas at war and home defense against burglars. The reason that it took the AR 15 platform multiple hits to down enemies was because modern body armor is extremely effective at stopping the 5.56 caliber of the AR 15. Furthermore, at ranges past 600m, where soldiers were frequently engaging, the 5.56 caliber's ballistic performance suffers drastically. That said, if you're trying to defend your home from a burglar, they probably aren't wearing level IV plates and your home probably isn't 6 'Murican football fields long.
The AR 15 platform is ideal for home defense. Contrary to popular belief and what's stated in the video, the 5.56 caliber of an AR 15 does not overpenetrate through drywall nearly as much as the 9mm pistol caliber or buckshot from a 12 Gauge (the most common shotgun home defense round). You can find videos on overpenetration on youtube as proof. As you are only engaging in close quarters, you will want a short barreled rifle (SBR) with a barrel around 10 inches long. The shorter barrel will allow for more maneuverability within tight spaces. However, be aware of the federal/state laws on SBR's. Alternatively, you could get a AR 15 pistol, which is an SBR but with a "pistol brace" instead of the stock. Functionally, a pistol brace and a stock are nearly identical. Furthermore, you'll need a flashlight on your home defense weapon, regardless of whether it's a rifle or a pistol. This is absolutely necessary. Ideally, your AR 15 should have a suppressor, but if laws or finances prevent you from having one, make sure you have some sort of muzzle device like a compensator to divert flash. Muzzle flash in the dark can be disorienting, and prevent you from making effective follow up shots. Lastly, and most importantly, make sure you have some sort of red dot or holographic sight on your weapon. This makes target acquisition much faster, and you may not be able to see iron sights in the dark.
A pistol can be an alternative, but it should not be your first choice. Nonetheless, if a pistol is your only option, go with a 9mm as the video said. 9mm handguns have less recoil and larger magazine capacity compared to .45 ACP, which allows for more effective follow up shots. Although .45 ACP is larger and more powerful, "stopping power" has been largely proven to be a myth. There are many great 9mm handgun options on the market, referred to as the "wonder nines", which include handguns from Glock, Sig Sauer, Smith and Wesson, HK, Ruger, and more. As with the rifle, make sure your home defense handgun has a flashlight and ideally a red dot sight. Muzzle device optional unless you're John Wick (you're not). If you do decide to go with a pistol for home defense, make sure you practice frequently. Even experienced shooters tend to neglect to train with their pistols because they're not as much fun as rifles.
Generally I would not recommend shotguns for home defense. This is because federal laws require shotgun barrels to be longer than rifle barrels, making them awkward to manipulate in close quarters. Furthermore, most shotguns only hold around 8 rounds, while a standard rifle magazine holds 30 rounds. One argument people make for shotguns is that buckshot "fans out" so you don't have to be as accurate. This is extremely misleading when it comes to home defense. Shotguns in real life do not "fan out" nearly as much as they do in video games. Within close quarters, there is barely any dispersion, meaning you still have to be very accurate. This brings me to my next point, which is that buckshot at close quarters acts more like a slug than loose pellets. It can easily overpenetrate through drywall, injuring anyone on the other side. The recoil on shotguns is also much greater, meaning your follow up shots will be slower and less accurate.
Tl,Dr: Get an AR 15 for home defense. Have the barrel length be around 10 inches (within legality of course). Mount a flashlight, red dot sight, and suppressor (again, legality) on it. If you sweep through your home looking for a home intruder, don't do it alone; if possible, have someone come with you.
Obviously what I've just said are the words of some random keyboard warrior on the internet. Do your own research and find your own conclusions. Most importantly, remember that the best gun is the one you train with.
@Steven Ohakwe I just want to remind people that you can't always believe what you see on the internet. Always do your research from multiple reliable sources, and come to your own conclusions
Not mentioned is the military uses fmj rounds almost exclusively in their rifles. Switch to soft points or ballistic tipped rounds, and the rifle is a far better tool for defending the home with much less recoil than a shotgun.
"Shooting an intruder, that isn't a direct threat, can land you in jail"
So basically what you're saying is, after shooting him, grab one of your kitchen knives and put in his hand before the cops get there. "He took a knife from my kitchen and came at me in a threatening manner, officer. He left me no options." Got it.
No no no XD.
Having a knife is not necessary to constitute a deadly threat. If you feel reasonably threatened, you can shoot. If you don't feel threatened but you shoot anyway, you're going to jail, and extra steps you take to cover it up will only make your sentence worse.
The part about the AR15s taking too many shots and punching holes is true... except, rounds we use for home defense are much different than military rounds. FMJ rounds, which are what militaries under the geneva convention must use, dont expand well, and have a tendency to punch straight through targets without conveying much energy. Certain hollow points or soft tips however will be more lethal, and be less likely to punch through walls. Also, 5.56 isnt the only caliber AR15s come in. A .300 blk, being a but slower, probably wont punch through so many walls, especially if you use high expansion "varmint" rounds. These will also transfer more of their energy into the target. If you read this whole thing btw, thank you 😁
6:25 "...it doesn't have the stopping power of a 45... ...you're not looking to take out a squad of enemy infantries with body armor..." Okay, no disrespect against the .45 I personally have more .45 lead spitters than 9mm, I love the .45, but if I had to face a squad equipped with body armor all by myself, neither of those 2 calibers would be adequate. In fact, no caliber would, I'd have to call in an air strike, but them I wouldn't be by myself now, would I?
Long slides with the custom Lazer sighting?
@@07ProdPhilly still not getting through avergae 3a plate. Need something way faster.
A 7.62 battle rifle might do the trick
1. AR15s are perfectly fine. Pistols work perfectly fine. Shotguns work exceptionally well.
2. M4s are very rare to see in the hands of the American public. You won’t have one if you aren’t reasonably wealthy
3. Take classes with your preferred home defense weapon. Be it a rifle, pistol or shotgun
4. Awareness is the currency in which we use to buy time
You need to be fairly accurate with a shotgun particularly at close range, it doesn't spread as much as you'd think. Unless you make an illegal sawed off/ short barrel shotgun which is technically regulated under the 1934 NFA. (Even then it doesn't spread that much). I guess you could also make an AOW or pistol shotgun too. But do what you want this is not legal advice nor am I a lawyer
One I learned is to never turn your lights on, you know the layout of your house better than the robber
Install AI-controlled ceiling turrets. Like the ones from Half-Life 2
Gun guy here, a handgun is a horrible choice for home defense aiming can be hard especially under pressure. For ease of use go with a 12 gauge with 00 buck shot. An AR is actually a good option for women and children because of recoil
Don’t do a home invasion in Texas
As a British person I find this sort of tutorial hilarious
Easy, just grab a shotgun and do it like the old western bois
In the Old West you didn't have the law on the burglar's side, like now.
Throw 2 in the double barrel and aim true.
Only thing I'm grabbing is some ropes and handkerchiefs, after I've finished begging for mercy with my hands in the surrender position.
In regards of the 9mm pistol you guys recommend, a handgun is harder to aim, manage recoil, and stop a threat with the least amount of bullets shot; that is if you do not have a full size 6 to 7 inches barrel and it takes 16 rounds, any other size pistol would be very difficult. Now, you guys also talk about rifles and specially the ar-15 platform, and while I agree with some of what you guys said. I also believe that for an average to small size home a short barrel rifle(sbr) or an AR-15 pistol will be more than ideal. This is because you would get multiple points of contact, it would be very easy to manage recoil, and in the event that a not so strong person (a kid, petite person, etc) is the one that has to pull that trigger, it would be way easier to manipulate in a stressful situation. In addition, a rifle will offer a larger capacity of fire ( with most states allowing 30 rounds magazines) and the loudness of the rifle firing will be loud enough that it will alert your neighborhood, and hopefully someone will call 911 in the event that you didn't have the opportunity to do so.
