- In this video I discuss a few concepts to consider to prevent a home invasion.
Believe it or not, many cases have risen to where criminals appear to be salesman at your door and when you answer several force entry for various reasons such as robbery, kidnapping, rape, and murder.
There are many aspects to this discussion such as what state you live in, how to respond, and what happens when specific things occur.
What is most important is for you to have a Security Foundation set in stone that you abide by all the time. As stated, my foundation is, always have a CCW at hand, keep the doors locked at all times, and am I expecting anyone? These 3 Security Measures will allow you to build a Response to the criminals actions.
I will be putting out a new series that focuses on these topics called Home Defense.

I finally responded with;
WRONG WRONG WRONG
AVOID all of this.
Never open the door. NEVER.
Don’t communicate thru the door as well.
Stay inside and be ready to defend
FROM-WITHIN-the-law-on-your-side-area.
Bro. Enough. That is so hypocritical to sit there and say you’ve never answered your door to someone you didn’t know who they were. That is such nonsense it’s unreal.
If you’re going to comment please be realistic. You don’t even follow your own advice nor is it realistic. 🙏
@@frogmantactical He's right, there is NO REASON to answer the door - and with cameras, you don't have to.
I open the window near the door.
@2ndarymotion not everyone has cameras and not everyone is going to live that paranoid.
@@BlkFireHawk427 "paranoid"???🤣🤣🤣 Ok, whatever you say.
I solve 98% of this problem by not answering the door if I'm not expecting anyone. It not only keeps me safe, but it has the added benefit of not talking with people trying to sell stuff.
Exactly!!
And Jehovah’s Witnesses.
Most crooks knock or ring doorbell and if no one answers, they kink in door or go around back. So you are no fully safe from bad guys. I have a large German shepherd that is my early detection and security
Exactly! I have a Ring doorbell and never answer the door unless I know the person. Plus I have guns placed in several rooms just in case. Thinking back to my childhood in the 50s, my relatives in Maine never locked their doors.
@@stevent5571 a dog is a good idea and no one is ever fully safe, but while they’re working on the door, I’m racking a load into my Remington 870 LE.
Kudos to the guy at the door for being able to hold incredibly still
😂😂👍🏻
😂
Yeah, that dude was an MVP, raise his pay!
Ain't neva scaed!
He really kept his composure
1. Don't have glass windows in your front door or near the door handle and lock. Anyone can break it and reach in and unlock it. 2. Never open the door period unless you know who it is. 2. Have a security anti kick bar or latch with 3" screws into frame. 3. Talk through your doorbell, camera, or door. 4. Check your cameras to make sure someone isn't trying to breach other entrances or back while you're distracted at the front door.
@patrickjustus I don't like how they make houses with those side window panes. I don't like those sliding back doors either.
Here in Austria, almost everyone has equipped their house in this way and follows the advice described above. WLAN cameras and alarm systems are being used more and more frequently.
Excellent advice, thank you!!❤
I have an outside security door as well as the entry door!!
Zamn
Years ago I had a shirtless man covered in blood attempt to enter my home through the back door (8 clear glass panels, not my design choice). Luckily it was locked and his intentions rapidly went from entering to exiting once he was on the working end of my pistol. That event solidified my belief that these scenarios not only can happen but do happen and you’re never excluded from being a statistic.
God Damn It!!!
These scenarios? Because what you described is a lot different than what's in the video. As to the latter, does the burglar, if he accesses the home, then take his mannequin with him when he leaves? Give me a fucking break.
I started carrying a weapon in the house about two years ago. Wife and inlaws think it's over kill. I think it's a new world that we are living in.
Manhood is misunderstood and under minded. Do what you know is right. 🙏
Don't ever listen to what others feel. There are way to many feelings being expressed now days, society has been brainwashed into being sheep. Good on you for being a defender of your family.
AGREED!!
I'm armed 18+ hrs a day, and I have been for the last 25 years. Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. Walking out of the house without being armed is like going outside naked to me. It ain't gonna happen.
They won’t think that the day someone tries to break in/home invasion.
My dad was a real man, he knew he was to protect his family. I was 17 and working as a carhop (yes I’m old lol). I was heading home at midnight when I noticed a car following me ( something else my dad taught me) when I pulled in my drive they pulled in behind me. I was laying on the horn and by the time I was by the house my dad was on the porch in his boxers with his shotgun. Who ever was behind me was backing up real fast.
You mean someone not capable of home defense should not be considered a man?
TLDR
@@lllllMlllll >.>
Don't ever go home if someone is following you. Make four right turns and if they're still behind you drive to the police station. Even if they don't do something that night, if you go home, you just gave them your address
@@lllllMlllll so you don’t have the mental capacity to read a paragraph, but you’re going to take the time to comment on it that you didn’t read it…
I can't help but mention, I live in Piacenza, italy... not only do we have a speaker phone/doorbell outside, but we live inside a medieval wall, with many doors to pass through, that are locked but, once inside our courtyard, our front door is steel reinforced with many bolt locks, only a peephole, but also a lock that enables me to open the door, only slightly to talk to whoever might be there... but, after that entrance maze, it's unlikely that ANYONE I don't know would be there, unless they live inside the courtyard. I guess the medieval world was less trusting, always on the defensive.
Thanks for such valuable tips. In Argentina things are getting rough. We had a burglary attempt a month ago and thankfully our dog kept the thief from getting into the house. When we got back, there was someone's blood all over the yard. I Even think our dog might have seriously hurt the burgler. We have now installed security cameras and an alarm system at home.
Argentine has No Law. The only Right is prosecutors, Judges and robbers law. Citizen is always a victim. Good 4 your dog !
Doubt if the burglary turd is going to sue you...!! 😂😂
Things should get better there soon. All the trash criminals are now in the USA.
Props for the guy who gave his life to make this video possible.
He just won’t die! Dude appears in every video 😂
he shall NOT be missed :)
I just laughed out loud 😂😂
@@billthebax5578
I lol at the "He just won't die!" xD
@@frogmantactical Sounds like an ammunition problem…
Not just physically. Emotional spiritual and financial. Wisdom. God bless you sir.
Thanks for your great advice! I liked the 45 degree rule the best. Many things like a glass front door, opening the front door before you've checked who's there, or leaving doors unlocked in general have generally been abandoned here in Austria because the dangers have become too great.
A locked storm door in front of the main entry door provides another level of protection for you and your home. An intruder has to breech that before the main door and also allows separation for you if you choose to open the main door. Thanks for the video.
Definitely a great addition. 🙏
Even an unlocked storm door is useful. It takes a lot longer to turn the handle and pull the storm door outward than to slam the inner door closed.
I was going to say the same thing. I installed one for this very reason.
My storm door doesn't lock, but the handle is a little tricky. If you don't turn it just right it catches on the frame. I've also got a picket fence cutting off the upper end of my driveway. An invader could tear it down or jump over it instead of fiddling with the bolted gate, but it's an extra layer. A silent alarm on that gate would give a few seconds extra warning. There's enough foliage and planters around the door that it would be awkward for someone to hide close by to rush in.
I always keep my storm door locked because we can't see clearly out the main door. I don't want to be rushed when I open the main door, so it gives me some barrier.
I had this exact scenario happen to me about 15 years ago. I was staying at my soon to be in-laws house while they were away and my then GF wasn’t comfortable being there alone at night. About 10:30PM the door bell rings and it’s a 18-25 yo male asking if this is the house where the party is. I didn’t open the door but shouted through that he had the wrong house. He tried to say he couldn’t hear me to get me to open the door. I went upstairs to a bedroom window to get a better view and there were 3 adults in dark clothes standing around the corner in front of the garage door.
I’m glad you mentioned the emotional aspect of the situation. There are people out there, usually with the prefix “If that were me” or “if I was there,” that believe that these types of situations will only bring positive emotions.
I'm 75, but a Navy Vietnam veteran that was trained for EP. Your advice is very sound and extremely useful. I'm a member of Firearms Legal Protection. And it gives me a little bit more peace of mind knowing that I have legal help if I do have to shoot. Good job. I subbed and hit the bell. God bless, and watch your 6.
Thank you for your service. God bless you
"EP" = "emergency preparedness" ... as opposed to "epoxy paint."
You are young to be a VV? My Dad is a USAF VV and is 78.
I was a juror in a home invasion trial. Two guys scouted out a home for weeks and finally got the guts to to break in… the guy in the wheelchair said him and his deceased buddy got onto the porch and couldn’t see anyone through the blinds… they got guns out and kicked in the door… into complete darkness.
The husband had heard them outside, grabbed his rifle, hit the power on them when they broke in, and shot twice.
The first bullet hit buddy #1 in the head and buddy #2 was struck in the neck and is still paralyzed from the fragment that is lodged in his brain.
I love happy endings. I'm sure the dead guy is burning in hell (killed in the very act). The living guy should be 10+ years in prison. It must be sad to be in prison while paralyzed. But these people made their (wrong life) choices.
In Arizona, in Sun City during the summer when many homes are vacant (due to "snowbirds"), a guy broke into a home around 2 AM and stole some money. Then he broke into the next home and found more money and a gun. (I'm sure we are talking about less than $1000 here. So not worth it.) Then he went to the next home and an older couple was in bed. The man-of-the-house, who was around 87 years old, grabbed his gun and went into the living room. He could see shoes poking out from under the curtains. He shot the guy dead. Then he went back to bed.
The next morning, they called the police. The police said "Why didn't you call us right away?". The man said "I'm 87 years old! I can't handle this stress. I need my sleep!" The please said "...Okay." and no charges were filed. Castle doctrine! Scratch one bad guy.
I love Arizona!
Outstanding
Wonder what the trial was about, meaning who was on trial & for what.
@klyons217, not sure if the last part is real, but if there's an invasion, shooting or not. You should call 911. This suggestion came from two lawyers, a young blonde woman and a slightly heavy guy with a beard. Can't remember the channel.
Good.
"Every second you buy yourself counts. This is why we lock the screen door."
Something my dad taught me back when I was a kid, and very useful advice
we have a little book case at the top of the stairs thats secondary function is if my wife needs to run up stairs with the kids she can yank it down behind her and block the stairs just enough that they have to either climb over it or move it out of the way. Like you said it wont stop anyone necessarily, but its just one more layer of buying her a few more seconds to get to a room with a gun and lock the door and call the police
@@jlogan2228 Exactly. It doesn't take long to get yourself fortified, it just takes exactly longer than you have. So those extra seconds take an "almost had it" to a near guarantee
Unless they just shoot u the the door...
@@2wheelsonly614 I mean, if I'm just standing in front of the screen door for some reason while seeing an unknown person approach, I deserved to get shot. That's called natural selection lol
SCREEN DOOR ! LOL LOL LOL !
I've always enjoyed your videos. On this one, I have a few suggestions. The first thing I'll mention is the type of lock on your door and the type of door itself. That single key deadbolt beside glass panels is not the safest option. The majority of break ins occur between 9am-4pm when most people are at work. The bad guys really don't want to encounter a homeowner. With the door and lock set up you have, the bad guys can, and often will, use some object on the front porch like a cement flower pot or a stone flowerbed border to smash the glass, reach in and unlock the door, and walk right in. Even if you have an alarm system, the bad guys know that a response by law enforcement can be anywhere from 6 to 30 minutes, plenty of time to steal your stuff.
The other scenario is that time when you are home and someone knocks on your door, like in your video. The safer option would be to look through a peep hole on a solid door or the ring camera/security system. Then, if you're not expecting someone, don't open the door. I've told many random strangers, who've knocked on my door, "I don't want to hear anything you have to say, just get off my property." One last thing... it's important to let them know through the door, that someone is home.
This is a great video! As someone who just started getting aquainted with handguns and self defense, I learned lots of invaluable information. Thank you for making this video!
And here’s a guy, being a father figure to the fatherless. Valuable education thanks man.
🙏
right? and people want to try to get rid of this kind of man.. imagine where we would be without this type of man.
@@DimePwnz we need a lot more like him that is for sure!!!
Amen
As long as he’s also willing to be emotionally vulnerable then yeah of course
“As the protector of the home you have a responsibility to protect not only physically, but emotionally, spiritually, financially…” Well said brother! Well said! God bless you and your family.
I'm not telling the bad guy shit about I have a gun. Get yourself liability insurance as well.
I agree
Unfortunately many are the "mean one" of their family!
lmao American problems require American solutions
Most people don't need this unless they live in a shithole.
@Eduardo Tenorio parents duty is to love and protect their family and children.
But that also means unconditionally... people forget that part
I like how you bring the family aspect into everything. As a new father my perspective on personal/home defense has changed drastically.
Very well done!
Another version of the front door encounter is someone asking to use your phone. Beware there could well be bad guys hidden from view.
Even if is a young woman.
Use your ring and tell them you will call 911 for you! Also Beware of the damsel in distress
Just a legal point from a former cop: Don't say, "If you move, you die." You can never legally intend to kill someone, and saying "If you move, you die," should someone hear you say that, could get you prosecuted -- especially in today's legal climate, because it could be taken as a statement of intent. "If you move, I'll shoot" or "I'll shoot again" could keep you out of jail.
Excellent advice on tactics, and especially on the possible legal and/or emotional fallout over taking a life. You've got me as a new subscriber.
Did he just get copsplained?😂
@@troygarfieldtravelsyes but good advice
Especially if the murdered guy go back from the death to say the truth
Thanks for that. You are so right.
In a courtroom never say your intention was to kill, or wound. All you wanted to do was STOP the intruder. The words Kill or Wound can land you in jail
In our suburb, a woman came home to find things missing, yet all doors and windows were still locked. Big mystery. It happened again while she was out.
One day, she heard a knock at the front door whilst she was ironing.
She decided to wait, and what happened?!? The glass at the side of the windows was removed, and a hand emerged towards the lock.
You can guess what she did. The application of a hot iron on an intruding hand soon brought most satisfactory results.
Extremely amusing.
How did the invader do that with the glass? I live alone I try to stay savvy but I could probably miss that.
Home Alone strikes back!! LOL.
@@tiffanygrever8092 there's a thingie you can use to remove glass panels safely. I think it works by suction. That's probably how he did it.
Did she use starch? :)
I have been watching him for awhile and watched this video when it first came out. I'm rewatching after seeing home invasions happen on the news and wanted to revisit some tips. I can't stress what he said enough. Don't shoot unless you have to because of what happens after the fact. We all know we are going to be right within the context of self-defense and the law, but there are tons of stuff that follows after that you just don't want to deal with. It sucks that our beautiful country has come to this where innocent civilians have to question whether to use force or not. And this applies even if you just shoot them in the damn leg to disable them.
NEVER SHOOT TO DISABLE. You shoot till the threat is stopped and you aim Center mass because you fear for your life. You cant defend yourself by aiming to disable then claim you feared for your life. If you believed hitting them in a limb would stop the attack then you were not in fear for your life and if you ever look at the anatomy of a human you will see arteries run in all the limbs sometimes a limb is even worse than center mass... You don't know what the person could be on, so you aim where the vital organs are. There is a video of a man attacking an officer with a large stick and the officer fires nearly a full magazine into the guy and he kept coming... and it was a .40 cal pistol. Take this into consideration.
Yeah think I’ll save it for later too.
1. Don't ever have glass, frosted or otherwise, on your front door. As you state you can see them... but they can see your movements too. Also, any bad guy can easily break it and get to that bolt fairly easily at 2am - All the while your rolling out of bed to engage the threat as they are now in the interior - bad place to be.
2. Technology is amazing - use it to your advantage. I heard you have a door bell cam (Nest, SimpliSafe or Arlo are all great systems) - most have 2 way conversation capabilities. Never have to open the door to begin with as addressed. Stay in a tactically advantaged space if they choose to breach.
3. At the bare minimum, install a strong and hefty security style screen door. This adds an additional layer to your defense system and can easily be found at Lowes or Home Depot.
4. Great video and very informative, thank you FrogMan!
Being a single woman, who has had her home invaded. I can say this, it never happened when I was being alertly aware. It was that 1% when I was relaxed & just going about life not putting thought into who could be lurking that my home was invaded & I assaulted.
Be prepared for that (hopefully) 1% time, always!
I don't understand
I'm so sorry that happened to you. I carry all the time since the time I was cutting the grass turned around and a stranger was standing Abt ten ft from me. I doubt it's possible to protect yourself against every moment of diabolical intent but having a weapon on you and a dog boosts confidence anyway. I hope you're recovered and doing ok.
Yeah ok sure
Same here.
Every time when you least want it and expect it is when bad crap happens.
Since than and being in the military for years I have subconsciously always been on alert and take every measure to prepare where ever I am going and staying.
Now it's just part of who I am a reflex without even thinking.
You're strong empowered and independent. You can do better than what you can settle for. You got this, you go get'em girl boss, I'll be rooting for equality, just like you wanted.
"Self defense ... begins with the belief you are worth defending."

Very true and many don’t believe it.
cheese
Some states you go to prison for killing the bad guys. Criminals have more rights wtf

Hey brother, thank you so much for your channel and your willingness to help others.
This is exactly what I strive to get through to my family, never just open the door, you can verify through the peep hole, your side windows, and if something first look right you can keep the door closed and communicate through the door.
These days are bad, and getting worse. I was a police officer in the city of San Bernardino in Southern California, people are desperate, they are willing to try anything to make you a victim.
So our goal as men especially, is as the protector, you need to be trained and winning to take a life of need be to protect yourself or your family.
Again, thanks so much for putting together this needed video. This is Alan, Greetings from Southern California.

Love the fact that you said the you don’t actually want to shoot someone, and you went over things like the mental issues it could cause for person who shot, or the people inside the home.
I use my security camera system to see what's going on before I even go to the door. It allows me to make tactical decisions before I even make contact at the door.
Same. A good security camera system is a great investment in this day and age. Lorex makes some decently priced 4-camera systems that you can get for your home which covers all major entrances and exits, all the way up to the more expensive 32 cameras supported by a single system if you are just that paranoid heh. I have NEVER regretted the purchase myself, and it's great for monitoring when Doordash arrives.
Ring Door Bell has entered the chat.... or like previously stated some sort of security camera system. Moreover, I do not agree with the stained glass door. A brick or rock tend to make easy work of them. Finally, I'm sorry that door frame connected to the one long beam is NOT keeping anyone out. Besides that I agree with everything else stated.
@@stephenboone371All good points. 👍
Bingo! Give this guy the prize. You will survive long after this RUclips warrior wannabe.
Tactical decisions? Where do you live, in Afghanistan???
When I’m training a new shooter, one of my first questions to them is “if you ever have to use deadly force and you have to take a life, can you live with yourself?” It’s so surprising how many people want to carry but never think about that part. It’s a crazy world out there now, everything has changed.
And 99% of the people who answer “yes” have absolutely no clue.
You don't shoot unless you plan to kill. You don't wa t them coming back.
@@brianb2783 True. There is an element of being psychologically prepared to do what is necessary to save your life or the lives of others that HAS to be addressed beforehand. During a high-stress event, the ability to wrangle with existential issues goes right down the toilet. It has to be considered carefully long before you find yourself in that position. You're right, though....a high percentage of people wouldn't know how to begin processing their emotions after such an event.
If you don’t have the guts to defend yourself, then you don’t need to carry a gun. This question should be decided long before you ever carry a gun. If someone is attacking you are you really gonna stand there and say “ Geeze, can I live with myself if I don’t defend myself.”
If you don’t defend yourself, you don’t have to worry this, because the bad guys gonna make sure you don’t live through it to decide. Make up your mind that if you wanna carry a gun understand what the ramifications are.
@Brian B Well 99% of people would rather choose to live, why would they not answer yes?
Outstanding! I back up your teachings with cameras that are interactive-voice etc.
Second- we NEVER open door - look out first. !
Third- we have a second door which we can enter outside of house to greet unexpected guest- if necessary.
Have a plan- train re-train !
Again great advice!
I just found this video by accident, I ABSOLUTELY loved the video and now I can't wait to see more. Oh yeah, I clicked like and subscribe 🙂
This video actually helped me when I had a tweeker attempt to barge into my apartment. He shouted he was police enforcement, so I didn’t think twice about opening my door without checking my peep hole first. Things could have been much worse, but thank God it wasn’t. As a single female living alone, I sincerely thank you.
🙏 God is good.
Tweekers are the worst.
get to know your neighbors please.
_"He shouted he was police enforcement, so I didn’t think twice about opening my door"_
You are such a good slave. Without a second thought you let your oppressors in to lick their boots. The proper response to someone claiming to be "law enforcement" is to give them notice of trespass, and if they don't leave, start shooting, because they have no business setting foot upon private property. The laws in The United States of America are made by the people for the government. The rights of man is granted by God the Father, not by government.
@@snips832 Those who deny the truth will often characterize it as such, using emotional adjectives, as if doing so grants them a moral high-ground. If you thought I was wrong about anything I said, you should have rebutted it...but you did not. You just emoted. What did Jesus say to the lukewarms, and to those who believe they are "good people"?
As soon as he said "as men we are to protect our families not only physically but also mentally and SPIRITUALLY" I knew this is a real man
Amen to that ❤
Takes one to know one, you hit the nail on the head my friend. Bless you and your family, they are blessed to have you as the man of the house. 👊
A “real man” that believes in fairytales? 😂 This dude ain’t a real man. Acting like a baboon and beating your chest isn’t the mark of a real man. It’s the mark of a child that never grew up.
yet, opens the door...
Instant subscribe at that line and this is my first video seeing him
This guy definitely makes great points and should be something to consider to keep your home and family safe
Great video,
I installed a security bar storm door with a regular lock and deadbolt.
Everyone should have one !
Best advise , have a peep hole and don’t answer the door unless you are expecting someone.
I am a home owner and a gun owner and love going to the range and practicing regularly. However, I am not reaching for the gun every time my doorbell rings. This is scary as Hell. I think the best solution FOR ME is just not opening the door until I am sure who is on the other side of it
I live with my gun on me, the world is too crazy not to.
@coldsteel.and.courage according to the numbers, it isn't. We live in the safest time possible- still.
@@albertcampos959 not in Tacoma bro, not in Tacoma.
You’re in the right bro. I do d2d and this is just straight crazy. Dude need to smoke a fat one and chill his commando complex. I get being a defender, but if you’re that fucking paranoid--probably shouldn’t own a gun.
And if you live in the hood and need to answer your door like this, move. This guy is going to get someone shot with his commando complex and teaching this. Nothing wrong with being prepared but this so just crazy
As a security precaution, I have a notice on my doors stating that we do not answer the door to anyone, unless we are expecting them. This way, when I do not answer, the perp does not know for sure if I am home or not. They will then likely hesitate to break in. I also have a barred screen door to make breaking in much more difficult.
Very good! Thanks for the tip.
Do you have any windows or other doors?
Hell yeah! Been trying to find a good channel for this kind of content. Just kept finding all these un-experienced young kids. You are the professional I've been looking for. A badass Navyseal that's clearly a combat vet with a grey beard full of wisdom. You got my sub
The best security at my house is a heavy wrought iron security door that swings out. I can open my inside door without unlocking the security door until I decide everything is fine. Nobody comes it unless I unlock it.
THANK YOU FOR THAT INFO, GREAT IDEA
I remember when i was really young, and my neighbor was applying to become a federal detention officer, and the FBI had to come to by and ask my parents questions about him as part of the process. I answered the door and was like “yeah come on in” and he had to tell my parents that, i was dumb essentially😂
Growing up in a family of 6, we never locked the doors. We went on a long road trip and intended to lock up first, but no one could find the key. So we left. Nothing went wrong, nothing stolen, etc. Times have changed.
I’m not sure if you mentioned it or not, but a HUGE help is a heavy duty screen security door. I always keep mine locked so if I open my door there is still a heavy metal screen door between me and the visitor. Heck, it’s useful even for the police as they can’t push their way in and say you invited them in or stick their foot in the door. It also protects my dog as well. My dog likes to run up to the door and see who it is when I open it and I had a huge fear if opening my door to some police asking about whatever it us and my dog running up and getting shot. Yeah get a heavy duty screen security door with a dead bolt. They also have to be pulled open from the outside making them very difficult to kick in.
Yep, Lowes 120$ really good investment for security.
I just from Lowe’s a platinum series Larson security storm door has three claw locks very secure gives one more level of protection.
Luckily my house was installed with onewhen we purchased it
my grand dad had one of those but it had a mail slot in so they could still put mail throught it.......or use it as a shooting port.
@@skurdibbles7913 that happened to me twice last week. Damn shooting port.
The guy at the door was frozen with the way you handled the situation!
I have subscribed and liked this video.
It did pop up in my feed, so hopefully that is a good sign that your channel is overcoming any algorithymic bias.
This good info to give people, and will help reduce the severity of home invasions, if not prevent them entirely.
Thank you.
Better yet, get a security system with cameras, microphones, and speakers. You can see, hear, and talk through the door. Never have to open it. Ultimate safety! And not too expensive either. Also good to have evidence to back you up if needed in court.
Even better yet, get a dog. Specifically a breed, that is usually considered "frightening" or "scary" like a Pitbull or German Shepard, or really any large, imposing breed. Criminals usually go for the easiest targets any sane man would willingly try to fight a dog for their nefarious deeds when the next door neighbor left their door unlocked. I mean sure, a security system *might* help, but a criminal could kick in the door and ramshackle you anyway. A dog warns you, and will absolutely destroy a man if need be.
No privacy...another way to be set up
Werd. I use Vivint and it’s great for that.
Excellent advice!
Doesn't having all that crap just make your house a MORE tempting target for these thugs?
I recommend a LOCKED 'storm door' (ours is steel framed and heavy glass). It allows you to open the front door without allowing access to your house.
Everyone should have one, BB
I’m not sure why anyone DOESN’T have one
Yeah, security doors are the best.
EXACTLY what I was thinking about the whole video. His whole defensive movements were excellent but the situation could've been avoided all together if he just answered without allowing access to his home.
A storm door like you said, a burglar bar door, or even just a chain door lock or a small window in your door that you can open and still have the main door closed.
Peep hole if nothing else. Can always shout through the door if you don't recognize the person. Never open a door blind to the other side.
Props to that guy sacrificing himself for this very informative video!
I like that point you made about whether you’re expecting company or not. Letting that be the deciding factor on whether or not you have your gun in hand is something I follow as well.
Impressive that you cover the emotional and psychological effects on the family. Rarely covered in this type of training. Great job!
He talked about possibly facing criminal consequences, but should have mentioned civil consequences. The perps family will be looking to hit the ghetto lottery through a lawsuit after they shake down GoFundMe.
Yeah, I would not have to find a new home on top of everything else you’re going to have to deal with.
The number of paper tigers you encounter discussing this topic online who want to pretend that them joyously executing a couple of home-intruders in front of their 10-year old won’t have a negative impact on a kid that age is remarkable.
And it’s all fantasy, by the way… None of the people talking this way even pretend to be referencing real scenarios.
Because as it turns out, when you *actually* hurt someone in front of a group of people, someone tends to get anxious.
@@christianc.christian5025 & that someone can include you you too 😐😐
Yes, I appreciated that acknowledgement, too. Taking someone's life is very traumatic for everyone involved.
When we were kids in the 1960’s and 1970’s we would joyfully run to the door to see who was visiting us. Now, we are “concerned” and even scared when the door bell rings. What a terrible environment for the good people of our society! 😢
Thanks media. Its mostly just fear mongoring.
Agree, but that is just a perception. Crime was statistically worse in the 60s and 70s. You were in just as much danger then, you just didn't hear about it all the time. In fact, I would say society was "sleepy" to it all (much like some people are today), calling safety measures overkill, and talking down those who take it seriously.

You are a wonderful man!! Thank you for all the information you put out here, you undoubtably have saved some lives ❤❤
Great advice, surveillance around your home is really important too, solves a lot of guesswork.
A ring camera is invaluable! You can talk to people without opening the door. Also allows yourself to stage, especially if you see that they tampered with the camera.
I have a RING doorbell, and a walk way RING cam, and a porch RING cam. NOBODY gets to the front door without an alert, and NOBODY gets the door opened unless it is safe. Oh, and my friend CZ 75 is with me at all times………….
Yes they are.
You can also speak to an unannounced visitor through the door without opening it if you don’t have a Ring type doorbell. Or DON’T answer the door.
Ring cameras form a network of viewing angles that the police are allowed to monitor per the Patriot Act. Just keep that in mind.
...I guess you all haven't seen the reports the companies who made those cameras unconstitutionally record and send all your data to feds and Leo without your permission and spy on you and neighbors. Build your own security system, stop being stupid and bending over for tyrants.
As a Black American woman I really appreciate this man and his insight. Im a subscriber with just one video. Statically speaking, growing up without protectors and being prey in your own community by the men you just always live in fear. As a woman who is a nurturing and sensitive person I never even thought carrying a gun was an option I just relied on the Lords favor until he sends me someone. This crazy world we live in I have realized that I MUST get over my fear and learn to protect myself just in case.
I truly hope you never have to use your new found skills. Stay strapped stay Frosty.👍
Some years ago a home video caught 3 young men breaking into an occupied urban home where a woman much like yourself lived. Her husband was away & she was home alone. Well, let me tell you something - she quickly ran upstairs, grabbed a very large & powerful 45 pistol (or 357 Magnum, I forget which) & chased the guys out of the house with several well aimed & deafening BOOMS! She blew massive holes in her walls but she survived. I was never so impressed in my life by her brave gutsy reaction! But I will also add that one of the guys actually had the nerve to immediately come back & attempt to re-enter the house after the shots stopped. 😮! Luckily she got another round or two off that sent him running out of the house for good. This is why all women (men too) need to be smart, level-headed & quickly reactive when predators show up. These thugs can be nutso crazy & you probably won't know until it's too late.
I’ll be praying the Lord does send you a good man, sis. Until then, stay strapped 💗

@@frogmantactical right lol 😂
@@luckeypolishing absolutely
I live in a split foyer home. I have, on occasion, responded to callers at the door from the upper level window. Quite an advantage being a housewife that’s home alone most of the time. The noisy dogs also help but I wouldn’t rely on them. I will protect them with my firearms if necessary.
It’s important to remember that even if you are expecting someone, don’t assume the person at your door is that contractor, friend or loved one you are expecting. Many years ago, my neighbors were expecting family to arrive from out of town in the early morning hours, to attend a funeral later that day. So when they were awakened by someone knocking on their back door at 3:30am, my neighbor opened the door to a home invader pointing a 357 mag at his head. Sadly, my neighbor lost his life that night back in 1987. Note: Our neighborhood had very few if any crimes committed causing most of us to develop a false sense of security. That event changed the way I viewed crime and the way that I approached home and self defense from them on. When I FEEL safe, that is all the more reason to not allow my guard down. It’s not something that I worry about so much as the habits I have incorporated to better prevent my family from being a target.
Absolutely 💯
If someone is breaking into home during the day, it’s because they wants to steal, if they break into your home at night, they are looking to cause harm. Logic behind this: no one is home during the day. The homeowner are most likely at home and/or asleep at night.
@@TyIer_Durden1 If someone's breaking into my house at any time of day his life is over. I'm not taking that bet.
My sincerest condolences.
Crooks often read Obituaries; that's mostly to commit burglaries when the loved ones are at the Funeral. I know of a case, however, when a Dad and his Son went shopping for funeral clothes (The Grandmother had Died in a different state.) The External garage door was left open, and no lights were on. They came home to a backdoor that was broken into. Flowerpots were trashed to get at stereo speakers, and the receiver itself was stolen. They also had Sterling Silver, which was stolen and melted down at a crooked Pawn Shop. The Father later got deadbolt locks, a monitored Burglar Alarm, and an automatic garage door, which was kept Closed most of the time. Timed lights were then used during vacations, and a light was left on when they were gone for shorter times in the evenings.
This was in early 1980-the Hunt Brothers had just cornered the Silver market, and Junkies everywhere were looking for Flatware and Hollowware to Steal. The Irony was that the Daughter of the Deceased DID have a house sitter present during the Funeral itself. But, that house didn't have much in the way of portable valuables (a thief is unlikely to snatch a baby grand piano.)
Remember "Paper Moon," when the Conman read Obits and claimed the deceased husband ordered a Bible before passing?
I like using security cameras, with 2-way communication. Also having a TV in the top corner by your front door showing a detailed image of what's outside is great too.
Definitely one of the best home security educational videos I’ve ever seen. Thank you sir.
In Arizona, most homes have "security doors" with the front door. It's like an industrial strength screen door made of steel. It allows you to open your front door and still have a barrier you can see and talk through without allowing an intruder to gain access.
I was just going to say this, also live in az.
Security Doors and the like are really a super good thing to have. I spend my money of STEEL BARRIERS. A determined and well equipped THUG can get in to anything, but it buys you TIME. the longer it takes to tear things down, the longer time you have to get ready to kill his ass. If you are NOT at home, if it takes a long time, the thug will give up and move on. The WORST though is an INSIDE JOB. Anytime you let someone in your home you unleash the potential for an inside job. The Air-conditioning man you let in to work on you HVAC, he might be as GOOD AS GOLD, but he has friends and family that might not be. I have learned these things the hard way, I have been a VICTIM of crime (in the past) many times. It took awhile, but I finally got to know what criminals don't like. The don;t have TIME on their side. I do NOT care for "cameras" as they do NOT STOP a crime. Thugs are NOT afraid of them. All they do is provide a grainy video to play at you FUNERAL. they MIGHT get you "things" back from a burglary, but even if you get you THINGS BACK, you are STILL a VICTIM. From our MONEY burglaries back in the 70's and 80's, I have gotten my things back WITHOUT cameras, and only ONCE did I ACCEPT the property back. The Criminals do NOT take good care of you property when they are hauling it around a TWO STATE area trying to peddle it to other LOW LIFE. Good Luck to everyone, this is a GOOD VIDEO, about a BAD THING.

1. Intercom doorbell to talk + security cams showing around the doors and immediate area
2. Have a METAL screen door outside of your normal door as an extra barrier so you can open one door and still have one between you (edit: the metal kind for those of you unable to comprehend this idea. Opens outward so can’t be kicked in. Buys extra time or dissuades people trying to break in via doors. Extra locks to bypass)
3. Let any delivery personnel place the item down and leave before retrieving it
4. Always have a plan, and backup plans for sudden invasion from anywhere in the home
5. A dog is at the least a good alarm, and at the most an extra warrior
6. Put wooden dowels in your sliding window tracks when closed
The dog is my first, because mine is a caucasian Shepard which is now 1 years old and already 189 lbs 😆

Sage advice from a fellow Veteran. Thank you for putting this video together and to highlight ALL the after effects of a shooting and taking a life. Being a Marine Corps vet and a retired police officer of over thirty years, hardly anyone thinks about the psychological, emotional, and physiological reactions of a shooting with a fatality. I have talked to many people who can’t wait to get their CCW who never considered what the aftermath would be like. The only suggestion I have for newbies in the CCW world, research what the best training would be and enroll. It may be expensive but it will be much cheaper than a successful lawsuit against you. Do your research. Be careful, watch your six, and keep your powder dry. I’m out.
I was able to back a man out of my house after he broke in. He came straight for me and missed all the stuff worth stealing. I didn’t have time for my phone, but my firearm is always with me. My Shihtzus went ballistic and gave me the seconds I needed to be ready, but now I have a trained Rottweiler. I’m so glad I didn’t have to take a life, but I was ready and can’t comprehend the cost it would’ve been if I had to pull.

I have a steel security door that is always locked, and the main door is steel as well. I have a six-foot high fence along the front of my property and a gate across the driveway. With all of that we have still had the occasional intruder into our yard, usually homeless. So far, them hearing me chamber a round in my Mossberg 500 has always worked as intended.
NICE!!!
Best sound in the world!!!
Thanks for making light of this tactic!
When my wife and I were shopping for a house I purposely looked for barriers and obstacles.
Our front door is behind a gate and turned 90% with the house access.
We answered the door through our ring doorbell only and never accept any visitor we don't know through the gate.
Luckily, we know that by the time they scale the gate we know what their intention is and have that extra several seconds to react.
Even then, they aren't inside the house.
Where are you from?
Smart.
was u in military ?
Solid ✊
Very good, sensible, and informative video. Most videos like this don't talk about the aftermath concerns like legal problems and steps you should take to avoid these issues by trying to take steps to not escalate the situation. I always have these concerns in Canada as home owners don't have castle laws to protect their homes and as soon as a firearm is used you are charged where they try everything up to see if you had improper storage, as firearms if not in use have to be locked and stored or in a safe.
As a home owner and head of a household, i found this vid very valuable.. ty.

I think my wife has good advice: Post a "No Soliciting" sign on your door, and then don't answer / open it. People who know us can call first, or when they arrive. Others usually have nothing to offer that you want, so just let them go away frustrated, or whatever. Nobody MADE them come to your door.
I don’t know how this video ended up on my feed, but I actually watched the whole thing through. Thanks for your warm delivery, and your realness when speaking about protecting your family. Have a great day! 😊
You too. We release new videos every Sunday 0800. 🙏
Me too. Glad I found your channel.
Ya, gotta agree with ya, I have multiple cameras that include doorbell cam that I use to screen any visitors before I even consider opening a door. I do agree with his tip about having a gun nearby, wherever you in your home.
I do like how you address the consequences of killing someone, not just from a lawful and financial perspective, but a psychological one. Very few people are ready for the effects it has on the mind. No matter how gangster certain people make themselves out to be.
I had a vet friend who not only had a Ring, but also a cam on each corner of the front of his house facing the front walkup. He has a display above the door that turns on when he gets within 10' of it, showing if anyone is hiding just out of view of the Ring camera.
Really like your video quality. Great scenarios. Lots of advice on multiple things, such as double checking home healthcare workers etc. Thanks
Your first suggestion should be get security cameras or Ring...whatever.
Something that can give you the leg up when someone comes to your door unannounced. Above all, get rid of glass doors!!!
that door is awful
Anyone coming to my house unannounced is a no no to begin with. Like you, my initial goal is to avoid conflict but my family and my health come first. Great job on posting this vid my brother. Like to see more. Take care!
Indeed so. Thank you. We have more Home Defense coming soon.
Having a locked storm door to speak thru is helpful too. But honestly, after too many weird stranger & troubled neighbor front door experiences, I no longer answer the door unless I know who it is or expecting someone. I really don't care if my neighbors think it's weird that I'm overly cautious. I've had enough close calls with known criminals (after the fact) to foolishly & unnecessarily gamble my safety.
Yeah a nice sturdy secruity storm door with the impact glass. I also added a nice doorbell camera to all my external doors.
I've always had some sort of screen/security door, I have them on all the doors in my house. Can't imagine just having that single door with no barrier to the outside.
@@JohnRYT Absolutely worth installing. Once had a troubled neighbor sneaking over at night trying to jimmie my front door open. If it had had a storm door he probably wouldn't have bothered. (He eventually forced his way thru another neighbor's front door & attacked her. She didn't have a storm door either. Luckily her boyfriend was there to tackle him. He dragged the creep outside & dealt with him. 💥👊😑)

Great advice. We've experienced similar problems. Since my place is a mobile home with a mud room off the rear door the strategy changes. Normally we have experienced these situations after dark. In the past they have knocked on the door. While responding to the front door the preps will run around and attack the mudroom door or vice versa.

Having your gun out is not "overboard." If you have it on you in your own home, the extra step is no more overboard than having it with you at all times. The extra 1/2 to 1 second delay in drawing the weapon may make all the difference. Don't ever worry about offending an unexpected visitor; this is your domicile! The same goes for driving in hard areas in cities; I travel a lot in big cities and often take my sidearm out and have it at the ready when their are groups of people out, especially at night, near my car.
One other point I would like to make. In addition to the actors at the front door, be wary of additional actors trying to breach a rear door or window while you are distracted. Other family members should also know what to do in these scenarios, almost like preparing for a tornado or other disaster. If they are not armed or incapable of such action, they should go to a safe area of the house or property, call 911 and await your signal or police arrival. As always, practicing these scenarios imparts muscle memory and makes it less stressful for those reacting in high stress situations.
Be careful and great content as usual! Keep spreading the word!
Not exactly related to this entire scenario, but I'll share something that happened to me, along with a bit of a follow-up. I was helping my mom move, she was older and a retired widow; after the work for the day was over, I still had her pickup truck. I was headed home, which meant I would pass her old house. Coming up to this intersection (I'll say race doesn't matter 😑) but two young black guys were walking along the side of the road, where I'm approaching a stop sign. Right as I get close to it, they split, one stays on the side where they were, the other goes to where my passenger side is. As I stop, the one on the driver's side presents a handgun. Dumb me, who didn't even own a firearm at the time, I'll skip on that for this post, just instead of reacting or panicking, looked at the gun to try and determine if it was real. I had the driver's side window up, so he pointed the gun at me through the glass; meanwhile, the other guy jumped in the passenger seat through the unlocked door. Once my brain activated (finally), I decided this could be bad and hit the gas, the passenger jumped out of my moving truck and I blasted off up the road. Once up the road, my first instinct was to turn around and run them down if I could with the truck. Not sure legally how that would have turned out, but whatever. So, in my prior life at this time, I was a UPS delivery driver, now retired. One of my almost daily delivery stops was the police department in the city where I delivered. I asked the chief if I could talk to him for a moment. He said sure. I told him exactly what happened, and without pause (yeah, but he's a police officer) he said he would have instantly shot this guy right through the door or window. A week later I bought a Glock 21. Long gone now, I have plenty of other items. 😉. But I was thinking again, not sure how all of that would have unfolded legally, but yeah, I'd certainly share some coated lead at this point. I carry everywhere now. Actually, it's very safe where I live, but who knows what can happen one day.
I agree, but answering your door with an AR to your very nice neighbor who was unexpectedly bringing you vegetables from her garden is considered a faux pas.
@@turn-n-burn1421 Check your state laws. My state includes motor vehicles in the classification of "home", so any violent effort to breach is considered deadly. In the moment (immediacy) the gun was pointed at you, so you could have shot. Though nobody can "out draw" an already pointed firearm. Hitting the gas was probably the best bet. And lucky the passenger bailed instead of fighting you for control.
@@turn-n-burn1421 Spot on with respect to your assailants.
If the situation is so sketchy that you need to have a gun in your hand when you open the door, why in the hell are you opening the door at all?

I’d recommend getting a security door so you and your family don’t have to be completely exposed when you answer the door. You can get the ones that are completely safety glass so they won’t mess with your decor too much. I had one when I lived in the Las Vegas valley and I’ll pretty much always have one now.
Thanks for the info. We are about to remodel that area. 🙏
Yep, LV. See my comment above, should be the newest one.
i wonder if I could get a security door for an apartment?
Yea I second that it essentially reduces alot of the concerns when initially opening the door
Buddy has a transparent front door, so you cannot hide and not be seen. Its' also a fatal funnel if someone enters there. Plus the transparent material has tint on it so if it shatters it should remain intact.
SIMPLE: Don’t open the door if you don’t recognize them! You’re not obligated to open the door for anyone! I’ve pissed off a lot of solicitors by not opening the door. I tell them “no thank you” and “have a nice day” without ever opening the door! Again, you’re not obligated to open your door so don’t feel pressure to do it! If you do it could be the last mistake you ever make.

AS a retired police detective and military I made sure our homes always had cameras and the doorbell one is great, but do not forget the rear of your home where a lot of entries occur. Also, we have "decorative planters" beside our door blocking where someone could try to be out of sight. Around the house we have knock off roses that grow all the time, have big thorns and are thick so no getting near windows, etc, Always keep your door closed/locked to any unknown person. It is nothing personal- just safety.
For bumps in the night the bedroom is locked, night vision cams going so I do not have to search for a threat, I can watch wherever someone may be and it is recorded. LE can be called, we are safe and an intruder would have to breach the bedroom door and be met with holes in his new shirt. We did free threat assessments for homeowners and your local LE should be a resource for that.
Sorry to sound ignorant but what does LE stand for?
