    In this scenario I wake up to an uncommon noise in my home. I notify my wife and decide to push forward on the basis that I have children home in their rooms.
    I decide to push forward to meet the intruder/s and deal with what is at hand based on my experience, training expertise, as well as my state laws.

    I'm no SEAL but I have heard noises in the middle of the night, armed myself and went downstairs. The advice I need is how not to feel stupid after finding nothing. Can I just fire the gun and tell my wife I chased him off?

      Bro, a squirrel got in my house once and hid away, must have been when we were still out and about. That night he came out and was knocking shit over. Here I am naked as a lark with my nuts hanging out and a 10mm hunting pistol and all I saw was a squirrel on my kitchen counter. Now I’m laughing and chasing this thing with a spa skimmer and my wife still thinks maybe its a home invasion?

      Honestly discharging a gun inside of a home would be a last resort simply because the walls are not ballistic rated and the discharge could result in a round going through a potential family member. Frog man says it best get past the ego stage of your mindset. It is best to show your wife that you are prepared and have a controlled mindset with your ego placed firmly in the dresser drawer.
      Thank you for this video. It is well done.

      Could be because you don't have OUR dogs. Ours literally bark at every little noise during the day. At night, they clock out and couldn't care about anything. I came back to add something that I forgot. Since my dogs are more or less lunatics and wouldn't be much help in any kind of break-in by any entity, if #MikeRitland wants to donate one of his non-chaotic washouts free of charge, I'll drive down and pick it up.

      I don't have a dog, but i use to deliver food for a local restaurant. Dogs are better alarms than you alarms. They start barking before you get to the door. They sometime start when you park your car outside. They can hear and sense things we can not. a Dog is a perfect alarm system. Great company to keep.

    • @JBplumbing12
      @JBplumbing12 Год назад +7

      Yes, self defence starts with being awake, and dogs have been waking us up when there is a threat ever since we lived caves. My dog sleeps in her own dog bed and she has been trained to bark at the slightest noise in the house. A barking dog gives us time to arm our self and get ready, and takes the element of surprise away from the crim, and possible prompts the crim to leave. A healthy advantage of having a good alarm dog is that I can relax and sleep soundly, at home and when camping, knowing that if anyone comes near us she will start barking and wake me up.

    Our family plan is very similar. Our bedroom is downstairs and kids is upstairs. Wife’s job is to get on the phone with police. I laminated a 4x6” index card with information she (or my kids) need to relay to 911. I have kids in separate areas of the house so I have to go meet the threat in most situations. We run emergency drills with airsoft replicas a couple times a month.

    • @1blueeye

      @@1blueeye thanks! I can’t remember where I learned that from but it’s a great idea. Something else I keep a small sling pack (5.11 Two Banger) next to the quick access long gun safe in the master closet. In it I keep 1 extra AR mag, 1 extra Glock mag, extra flashlight, chem sticks, flex cuffs, CAT TQ, SWAT TQ (easier for small kids), compressed gauze, cheap prepaid cell phone with emergency contacts proframmed, extra ID and credit card, and a hiviz safety vest that has “security” on it. I learned that from a detective I used to work with that did a lot of home invasion work. The ID and credit card is my addition. Though is I can grab it (hopefully) on the way out of the house if there is ever a fire or home invasion so I can at buy a hotel and necessities if I can’t get back into my house. If I am FORCED to kill a bad guy, I don’t want my family sleeping in that house until it’s all cleaned up. EMS or medical examiner will haul off body but they’re not cleaning for you.
      Hopefully this give you some ideas as well.

      It also depends on your own moral limitations. I am proficient at defence but my Christian faith is strong and I do not want to kill or severely hurt anyone, so I would do my best to use minimum force to negate the threat. I would kill if I had to but I pray I will never have to. Same goes for every other arena of interpersonal conflict; I try to cause as little hurt and offence as possible.
      But in the interests of truth and honesty I will not kowtow to people like Lefties who are always pretending to be offended on their own or others' behalf in their effort to control what other people can say. Not wanting to hurt or cause offence does not mean I will let myself be manipulated by those who perpetually pretend to take offence.

    My ex-wife and her mother left a sliding door unlocked a few times. The wind blowing against the slider set the burglar alarm off in the middle of the night. My ex stayed on the phone with central service and I grabbed my G19 and PolyTac flashlight (no rail on a Gen 1 purchased in 1991) and went downstairs. My heart rate was up, but I don't recall ever freaking out over it.
    The key for me was experience (I had been a home defender since I was 14 y/o with my trusty H&R single shot 12 Ga. shotgun.) Plus mindset, some training, regular weekly practice, and confidence in my weapon's reliability and my shooting skills. Thankfully, they were all false alarms. As Jason points out extremely well in another video, wacking someone in your home could start a chain of very unpleasant events.

    This is easier said than done. Most robbers have at least another person with them. They’re going to lie. His buddy might leave him for the police, but also might pop around the corner then it’s 2 on 1 and idc what military background you have, you’re going to most likely lose that if it goes hands on against 2 or more individuals . If you’re going to push then you might as well take it all the way. If not, secure the stairway from your room that way they’re in a kill zone if they both try to come up stairs with limited room. I get you’re a seal and all, but I’m not risking my family to try and talk a turd down. You drop one, the other will take off running 90% of the time. It’s not about having “an ego” things happen in milliseconds, I would think a seal would’ve realized that. There’s plenty of security surveillance videos from active self protection that proves this. While you’re talking to him, his buddy who he is probably lying for is planning on what to do next.

    Great advice, especially about staying calm in an attempt to diffuse the situation, as well as removing your ego from the equation. One bad decision on our part can spell disaster in the aftermath.
    My question would be, how satisfied should you be with the answer that the intruder is alone? And if you were to suspect there is more than one intruder, what are your safest options?

      I’d take it with a grain of salt. Criminals will Con their way out of everything. Working as a paramedic for 6 years I’ve had to deal with guys, who have been in and out of the system lie to me about something as simple as overdosing when it was clear as day an overdose. That’s all they know how to do is manipulate and lie. They’ll try to act like your friend and all scared, but it’s to get you to feel comfortable, like they’re your bud. Then that’s when they strike. Shoot his ass and when you hear his buddy take off out the door, you’ll find out real quick if he was lying.

      "No, it's just me" would have more credence.

    I have taught every member of my family how to safely clear rooms due to me being in law enforcement. No matter which family member's home I am in, our response is the same. Luckily there are at least 3 people in each household of legal age to use a firearm. Two of us quietly clear the house together while the third shelters in place and calls the police. I am not going to specify HOW we clear the house, but the method we use is very effective and involves using the layout of each house to our advantage.

    I’m a LEO and have had a game plan for years. SBR by my bed side. I clear my house daily and get in dry fire reps. I told my wife to grab my radio and go to our closet with the kiddos where I have my radio and handguns. I gave her my call sign to get on the radio and call for help and established a safe word when all is cleared. Plans I hope we never have to implement, but it’s been set, practiced, and ready to go. Stay safe everybody.

    Having the benefit of traing at GUNSITE a few times I would think I was capable of winning a fight had I decided to "push forward", but the GUNSITE training actually makes you realise that is a bad idea unless you have to secure a family member. The advice in this video is 100%. If you do not have to engage, don't. That is what insurance is for. Every fight you get into can often involve you you winning but getting hurt or diving. Mitigate risks, minimise the outfall. You live every day, but only die once.

    FIRST OF ALL, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE .. SECONDLY Thank You for creating this excellent and valuable video with great detail but in a concise format .. There are a lot of variables to consider in these types of scenarios BUT FIRST: I believe DETERRENCE is the BEST INITIAL STEP to consider: Bright High Lumen Stationary Hardened External Lighting and Hardened Security Cameras, Strategically Placed Motion activated security cameras, lighting and VERY LOUD EXTERNAL ALARMS, professionally trained guard dogs, hardened main entrance doors and ADD SENSORS ON EVERY WINDOW bare none, etc. .. SECOND TIER: properly prepare yourself and your family for the possibility of a breach. This would be of course continual personal self-defense preparedness training and development; becoming EXACTLY proficient with ALL personal defense tools, firearms, etc etc etc. RUN full scenarios / drills involving the entire family so that they can know EXACTLY their individual roles and responsibilities during a crisis knowing exactly what to do when an alarm goes off, you call them out, etc .. THIRD: Have everyone in the family take First Air classes specifically for self-defense wounds, bullet wounds, etc. .. FORTH: Make a PURPOSEFUL effort (as best as possible) for YOU and YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY to continually become PERSONALLY acquainted with your Local Chief of Police, All Local Police Offices, The Sheriff and All Deputies, All Law Enforcement Personnel that MAY BE involved in responding to a possible home invasion scenario in your area and your house / business, etc. .. There is more to consider, legal ramifications, emotional and psychological affects and help, etc. ...

    Not only do I have dogs that bark and alert me to potential visitors. I have a camera in the garage covering that entrance, a ring door bell camera on the front door and then 3 other cameras around the outside, you cannot approach my house without me knowing. I also have several motion lights, one in the garage by the exterior door, so when they open that door, they are immediately blinded by that light and it notifies the garage cam faster. All cameras have a light to accompany them. Last step is I have left over like gates from a child playpen that I lean against doors so when they are opened, the gate falls and hits the tile or hardwood floor also alerting me. 3in screws in the door jams for the locks and doors are double locked every night.

    It's a misconception that home insurance covers everything! Make sure your policy covers EVERYTHING you want it to because most cover a depreciated value of specific covered items. Most likely you will end up being reimbursed in the range of 40%-60% of the value of replacement less your deductible. Either put your valuable items in harder to get areas of your home or fortify their physical security to prevent those specific items from being easily targeted on a home invasion/break in. For example, I have a lot of music equipment, photo video equipment, firearms etc. None of which is in an easily accessible part of my home for this very reason.

      I have two triple-locked doors, storm resistant HEAVY windows. The thing that bothers me is that the door frames are the most vulnerable thing if bad guys want to force door.
      I live alone at age 60 and it scares me a bit to buy those really tough door jam things...in case there's a fire or a medical emergency response needed. Those jam items look great and I'd place them at night but for those concerns. Any thoughts?

    • @nekopop8159
      @nekopop8159 Год назад +1

      @@teller1290First of all, if you are in the house and they attempt to break in by the door frames, it is important to be able to hear it. You can get your defensive tool ready and call the authorities.
      But you could try to cover the door frames with a metal sheet and make sure it doesn’t interfere with the opening mechanism. This is to prevent that from happening in the first place and from going to the second phase of a home invasion.
      Second, any doors that leads to the outside area of the house should have another type of lock, whether a sliding lock or a chained lock. Though I recommend a strong chained lock specifically so you can open and peek outside without risking the door being fully opened due to the locking chained pieces. But the sliding lock is stronger and is really sturdy. Also the best thing about the sliding locks is that it’s really quick and easy to close and open. But it’s your choice!
      Breaking in through windows is unlikely as they know it would alert anyone or any audio and camera systems. However, if you are not at home, they could risk the element of surprise to break windows and quickly move in and rush their operations as fast as possible as they are most likely trained criminals.
      Lastly and most importantly, get training and practice with your firearms. You may be old and move slower, but your arms can still aim like a veteran. To protect your family and friends, you will have to go to the front lines and fight back the enemy forces. You might die or get seriously injured, but it’s worth keeping those you love save.

    I can't legally own firearms where I live and even if I could, the gun and ammunition would need to be stored in two different safes without quick access. That's the essence of the legal situation.
    Another major problem is that most of us live in small flats for rent and they tend to have very kickable doors... Thus, one noise and a second later, someone is standing in the middle of the room connecting all other rooms! You can't escape, you can't get to your (landline) phone.
    I purchased some daggers as a collection and keep them in different rooms. Having longer blades doesn't really help due to the confined space. Good luck swinging anything when the ceilings are so low and walls are always close...
