@@Mrgunsngear You have that right. Best outcome , no shots fired. I get so sick and tired of stories of ten year olds scaring away a burglar and some knuckle head saying she should have killed him. What child would want to deal with causing a death for sixty years. Not me, not my child, not my grandchildren.
I had a similar story a few months ago not in the house but in my wifes Jeep in a parking lot of a local grocery store late at night . We had stopped to pick up a few things so she ran in and I stayed out in the Jeep it was still cold out so I'd had her leave it running .The SRS (airbag) light keep coming on during the trip so I'd leaned over in the passenger seat to reach under and fix the connection . When I glanced up I see a guy slowly making his way down the side of the Jeep and just as he tries the door I sit up with my carry gun point right at him through the window . I don't think I've ever seen a junkie looking guy run so fast . But I realize the rear windows are tinted so since I was bent over he couldn't see me at all until he got to the driver window which isn't tinted as dark . Makes me glad I don't live somewhere it's illegal to carry a gun .

A bum in Portland OR tried to mug me one time and was shocked when I presented him with a snub .38 instead of my wallet. I will never forget watching every single emotion flash through this guys face at the same time before he ran off. It was fucking surreal
We had some trouble makers trying to poach on our land. They were giving my dad some trouble saying they had a gut shot deer run over (they claimed to be neighbors a few miles off, no way it ran that far). I showed up on my open carry day, saw my dad was looking pissed with 3 guys hassling him. I walked up, hand resting on my glock, make myself known and watch these three guys turn pale while they try to stammer out the explanation. Almost immediately after my dad explains the situation to me one of the guys "receives a text" saying that a 4th guy found it on their property. Ran off with their tails betwixt their legs
Actually, the CDC did a study on gun violence in 2013 under the Obama administration that explored some of the numbers behind defensive gun use. The study as a whole ended up showing that "gun violence" as it exists in the US is wildly mischaracterized by the media and most instance of "gun violence" were either suicides or one on one killings that could have been accomplished as easily with a hammer or kitchen knife as a .22 pistol. As you might expect, the study was never widely publicized! Gotta keep the public afraid of those AK-14s and their fully semi automatic clipazines. Here's the link. Summary of defensive use on page 15. www.nap.edu/read/18319/chapter/3#15 Some journalist at WaPo tried to argue gun rights advocates were misconstrewing the admittedly inconsistent findings, but he also conveniently omits that even the lowest estimate of defensive gun uses more than doubles FBI homicide statistics for most years. Might be all years, but I'm not gonna go back three decades. And once again, most of those are killings that gun bans likely wouldn't have prevented. Here's his article www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/01/16/the-study-that-gun-rights-activists-keep-citing-but-completely-misunderstand/ Long story short, I think there's solid evidence gun ownership is beneficial to the US. Even when people cite countries with extremely low gun crime.. what are you left with? Normal... crime? So people are being murdered with other things? Yeah, sure, real utopias those places. Knowledge is power, fellas. Arm your minds like you arm your homes.
I had a similar scenario in about 2012, I was replacing the sill on our home and had the front of my house torn apart and night came and was not finished so I put heavy plastic up because it was a chilly night. I told my wife we will sleep in the front room with the plastic up just in case by chance someone wanted to break in. About 2 AM my wife wakes me up saying she hears foot steps out side, after listening quietly for a minute I heard foot steps so I told her hold on and got up and got my pump 12 gauge shot gun out of corner in the room we are in. Right after I grabbed the gun I hear the perp walk up stairs and walking around on front porch , I could hear perp was clearly there because of the composite deck boards on thr porch. I yelled who's there twice with no answer and we are about 5 to 12 feet apart so I decided this is looking like this might be a big problem developing so I pumped the shotgun and when I did the perp jump off the porch and you could here perp running up the sidewalk. Legend has it that THE PERP IS STILL RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE TO THIS DAY. LOL
@Xray Paul Actually, for shotguns. It is a bad idea to leave a round in the chamber. Because depending on the shotgun, it can cause a failure to feed due to the internals being worn down from having one chambered for too long. That if you drop it, it can and will go off. Most shotguns do not have a physical block to prevent the firing pin from being rocked forward, even with the safety engaged. The most common position to keep a home defense shotgun is known as the cruiser position. Keeping a nearly full tube to prevent too much wear for the tube spring. Generally it is fine to leave it without the safety engaged since there is no round chambered in and in a life or death situation you can pump it and be ready to go.
A Hi-Point Carbine or Hi-Point C9 would be a much better home defense weapon. The intruder would see the gun and thinks you're broke, feels bad and go away.
The high point carbine is actually very reliable, accurate and fun to shoot. I have brought it to the range along with high end ar”s and people always have fun with it! I gave it a forward grip w/thumb activation light and it’s two thumbs up.
Lot of deadbolts have keys on the inside if it worries you, hang the key a few feet away from the door or put up security film on the glass. Lot of ways to deal with the glass without changing windows out.
I doubt a person that was trying to kick in a storm door that opens out, would have the mental and financial capability to own and operate an electric device to watch this.
Experienced a home invasion once, the guy bolted out and fell over the front steps and hedge the moment he saw the business end of an m1a peeking around the corner.
@@IsthatsbeTTV I got tired of worrying about hitting pot holes,and ruining rims and tires. I bought a 4×4 suv, It's good on snow & ice too. Plus,when you go Shooting or camping or just to the range you can throw all your guns in the back and they are better protected than in a pickup bed.
ArgosySPecOps: About 15 years ago we had a guy who was going around to brand new houses and stripping any copper he could get off of them. Eventually after he got his whole garage filled with it he made one mistake and grabbed onto a live wire and it killed him on the spot. SO the cops didn't have to do much to ind all the missing copper. Crazy when people do that!!!
Weapon mounted lights are as important as the Firearm for home defense. The light he seen was his reason for fleeing and I bet he seen the barrel reflecting from his view. Thanks Mike for your service and God bless!👍🇺🇸

Good job. I had a similar experience. But it was the back door. They broke in the door just as I was making the corner and came in. They saw my ar15 and ran before I even had a chance to fire. Thank god I didn’t have to and no one was hurt.
HURT 1 I disagree, he was ready to fire and had exemplary trigger discipline. He didn’t want to kill anyone and no shots were needed. Job well done I say and maybe, just maybe that criminal turned his life around for the better, but I doubt it. All I know is it’s a real good thing this good guy had his gun on him and NOT LOCKED up in the safe, car, closet or anywhere else that would have done him absolutely no good and would have been stolen from him and used in future home invasions and robberies. God bless the USA and thank God for our 2nd Amendment. Always Carry and be vigilant.

Thanks for sharing. I had a similar situation a few years ago while I was camping in a state park (1:30 a.m.). I had my FNS40 with me, and confronted the bad guy as he was leaning in my truck through the back window he smashed in. Didn’t have to shoot because he obeyed my directives. He’s in jail now. My advice is always be armed, have a light on your weapon at night ( I didn’t...lesson learned), and stay focused.
Somebody once tried to break into my house when I was home laying on the couch. Middle of the day I was home because I had a torn rotator cuff when I heard a knock at my back door, I thought it was a jehovah's witness because they had been in the neighborhood so I didn't answer, after a minute or so he started throwing his shoulder into the door trying to force it open, I yelled out and he took off. He's lucky he didn't come in
@@thisSiteSucksHard I had been in an accident a few days prior so my arm was in a sling, shoulder was shattered with torn rotator cuff. Honestly I don't think I would have been able to use a rifle properly at the time if my life depended on it
Thanks for sharing. Glad you didn’t have to fire your weapon. The red tape you have to go through after you fire at someone is tedious to say the least. By the way, nice rental house. No one can ever accuse you of being a slumlord that’s for sure.
Doesnt matter what youtube channel you watch, what self protection gun you have, the info is always the same: WEAPON MOUNTED LIGHT! Gotta see what you may shoot at. Thanks for the info Mike.
I have mixed feelings about the weapon mounted light. In my home yes I have one mounted. Daily carry, nope. They are bulky and if you only need a flashlight to look around your back yard, change a tire. Or what not. It’s attached to your side arm, if you carry a simple flash light like a surefire single aaa in your pocket. It pulls double duty.
I have to thank the democrats for finally turning me on to the AR-15. I thought it was all just hype, but their shrieking and gun grabbing ultimately sold me. End result? Best rifle I've ever fired. Period. Mossberg MMR.

Excellent story, Mike. Glad it turned out so well. Thanks for this food for thought. A suggestion for advance notice and immediately distinguishing which door someone is approaching. We have Guardline motion sensors, one sensor aimed at each of two entrances, different alerts for front/back and for day/night. Daytime base in the den has two distinct short doorbell chimes. Nighttime base in the bedroom has two distinct long alarms. Praying it's never needed, but if so I'll already be moving to the bedroom rifle safe and then ambush point before a door is kicked. My turf, my rules, no fair fights.
Lol But really it's not a good idea to advertise you have guns or display anything gun related, it just highlights your residence as a desirable target for thieves.
That's the problem, it should always be the wrong guy or gal and always the wrong day. These perp only do what they do because a right victim on the right day exists. Take that away from them and they go out of business.
I've worn those shoes myself, only it was my alarm that woke me saying the back door had been breeched. Nobody got hurt at my house either (🙏). I hear folks talk about plate carriers etc. by the bed, but people don't realize just how quick this stuff goes down. When the bedroom and entry point(s) are on the same floor, you don't have time to even put your pants on. An AR or scattergun with a "MANDATORY" light on it is all you have time to grab. I also WILL NOT have an optic on a home defense firearm that doesn't have shake awake on it. Your fine motor skills go out the window, so you'll never find that little bitty "on" button in the heat of it all. Preparation is paramount.👍👍👍
I remember you saying something about this in another video, good job. Glad you & yours are safe, brother. Thanks for all your work for our Right to Keep and Bear Arms.

We've had a few break-ins in our upper middle class suburban neighborhood a few years back. One through a sliding glass door on the rear of that house (threw a rock through the glass) during the day, one front door kick in during the day, one garage service door kick in during the day. We've had an alarm system for many years prior to that, but never used it that much. Now we use it religiously. I added a storm/security door to the front door (main entrance) and bolstered all of the lock plates on the house with 3" long wood screws to replace the measly standard 1/2" long screws (so the screws go into the actual wood door framing vs. just the door trim). I replaced the standard small latch strike plates with heavy duty security models. I also added extra locks to all of the windows - especially the basement windows. We added 3M security laminate to the windows on the back of the house that are easily accessible from the ground level. In all, while it's not Fort Knox, the added security measures would certainly slow down any attempt at entrance into our house. I suggest that everyone who sees this video examine their house/apartment for weak spots and take appropriate measures to secure them.
“Not Fort Knox.” If you’re doing all that in the burbs I can’t imagine what you would do if you lived in the city😂....... just maybe, board up your windows? Just a joke. Anyway, I enjoyed reading the comment and the per cautionary measures you took
Great story. I like that you installed outdoor lighting. It’s key. I have so much outside lighting that the bad guy would die from skin cancer before he got to the door or windows.
A good security upgrade for windows is simple mirrored window tinting that makes it very hard to look in but lets you still look out. It doubles as a cheap security film if some tries to break the window to get in as it is stuck to the glass already so will hold the glass together to a limited extent. Frosting the windows both blocks vision in but also blocks vision out cutting off a place you can look out yet can leak info to someone outside when they see a shadow pass by or the flicker of a tv.
I'm just getting an AR-15 and I can't learn enough, fast enough! Thank you! And, funny, I'm moving pretty soon, too. I'll make sure my AR-15 is with me my first night in my new house! :)
Glad it worked out, you scared him off and no one got hurt. After my car was broken into I bought a Ruger Redhawk 44, thinking my bedroom window looks down on driveway and a well placed shot from 44 mag will slow them down until coroner can get there. Only after my purchase did I discussed with Gun Sensei: 1) older home - small rooms plaster and lat, the noise/echo of 44 would deafen, not to mention blinding flash from inside dark room, 2) inner city neighborhood houses feet apart, 44 goes through wall into neighbors house. In your case, think of yourself peaking in window: 1) red dot laser sight hits you, 2) you hear ratcheting of pump shotgun
Rzr2ffe hand guns and shotguns are just as capable,it’s not just the Ar. The only reason the Ar is used in more is because it’s broadcasted by the media.
@@jamiesloan5902 I reinforce my doors with 4" screws and all striker plates and install motion lights before my kids are allowed to stay in a new home. I usually have it done before we even begin moving. The motion lights I use are solar powered so they install very easily. If there is power I will install a 110v motion light at the front and back door. I am very handy and can install electrical very easily.
I had a person fully enter my home after breaking a window while I was at home and fully awake. It was in my first year as a police officer. As you can imagine he had a bad day.
I had an attempted burglary years ago as well. Lucky, for the burglar, my dog chased him out of the house before I could get to my gun. I later found out it was a scumbag I used to work with trying to rip me off.

No Comment for me? it's at least four times for this random, anonymous, internet person. That's three times more than I'd like to admit.
A bum in Portland OR tried to mug me one time and was shocked when I presented him with a snub .38 instead of my wallet. I will never forget watching every single emotion flash through this guys face at the same time before he ran off. It was fucking surreal

We had some trouble makers trying to poach on our land. They were giving my dad some trouble saying they had a gut shot deer run over (they claimed to be neighbors a few miles off, no way it ran that far). I showed up on my open carry day, saw my dad was looking pissed with 3 guys hassling him. I walked up, hand resting on my glock, make myself known and watch these three guys turn pale while they try to stammer out the explanation. Almost immediately after my dad explains the situation to me one of the guys "receives a text" saying that a 4th guy found it on their property. Ran off with their tails betwixt their legs
Actually, the CDC did a study on gun violence in 2013 under the Obama administration that explored some of the numbers behind defensive gun use. The study as a whole ended up showing that "gun violence" as it exists in the US is wildly mischaracterized by the media and most instance of "gun violence" were either suicides or one on one killings that could have been accomplished as easily with a hammer or kitchen knife as a .22 pistol. As you might expect, the study was never widely publicized! Gotta keep the public afraid of those AK-14s and their fully semi automatic clipazines.
Here's the link. Summary of defensive use on page 15. www.nap.edu/read/18319/chapter/3#15
Some journalist at WaPo tried to argue gun rights advocates were misconstrewing the admittedly inconsistent findings, but he also conveniently omits that even the lowest estimate of defensive gun uses more than doubles FBI homicide statistics for most years. Might be all years, but I'm not gonna go back three decades. And once again, most of those are killings that gun bans likely wouldn't have prevented. Here's his article www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/01/16/the-study-that-gun-rights-activists-keep-citing-but-completely-misunderstand/
Long story short, I think there's solid evidence gun ownership is beneficial to the US. Even when people cite countries with extremely low gun crime.. what are you left with? Normal... crime? So people are being murdered with other things? Yeah, sure, real utopias those places.
Knowledge is power, fellas. Arm your minds like you arm your homes.

I had a similar scenario in about 2012, I was replacing the sill on our home and had the front of my house torn apart and night came and was not finished so I put heavy plastic up because it was a chilly night.
I told my wife we will sleep in the front room with the plastic up just in case by chance someone wanted to break in.
About 2 AM my wife wakes me up saying she hears foot steps out side, after listening quietly for a minute I heard foot steps so I told her hold on and got up and got my pump 12 gauge shot gun out of corner in the room we are in.
Right after I grabbed the gun I hear the perp walk up stairs and walking around on front porch , I could hear perp was clearly there because of the composite deck boards on thr porch.
I yelled who's there twice with no answer and we are about 5 to 12 feet apart so I decided this is looking like this might be a big problem developing so I pumped the shotgun and when I did the perp jump off the porch and you could here perp running up the sidewalk.
Legend has it that THE PERP IS STILL RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE TO THIS DAY. LOL
@Xray Paul you can still pump shotgun with round in chamber
He heard that universal call to action and had to go 🏃🏼♂️🏃🏼♂️🏃🏼♂️
Shouldve popped him like a bag of chips
@@ptgrpl113 Lot easier to not pump and just pull the trigger.
@Xray Paul Actually, for shotguns. It is a bad idea to leave a round in the chamber. Because depending on the shotgun, it can cause a failure to feed due to the internals being worn down from having one chambered for too long.
That if you drop it, it can and will go off. Most shotguns do not have a physical block to prevent the firing pin from being rocked forward, even with the safety engaged.
The most common position to keep a home defense shotgun is known as the cruiser position. Keeping a nearly full tube to prevent too much wear for the tube spring. Generally it is fine to leave it without the safety engaged since there is no round chambered in and in a life or death situation you can pump it and be ready to go.
"I only had an AR-15"... Fantastic! "I Pity da fool"
A Hi-Point Carbine or Hi-Point C9 would be a much better home defense weapon. The intruder would see the gun and thinks you're broke, feels bad and go away.
Yep...works every time for me. But then again I really am broke. LMBO too funny!!! :)
They also double as a pretty hefty club too when they jam
The high point carbine is actually very reliable, accurate and fun to shoot. I have brought it to the range along with high end ar”s and people always have fun with it! I gave it a forward grip w/thumb activation light and it’s two thumbs up.

SO the cops didn't have to do much to ind all the missing copper. Crazy when people do that!!!

TLDR: Guy tries to break into empty house. Home owner shines light on him, burglar runs away. Light was attached to an AR -15 just in case.
Weapon mounted lights are as important as the Firearm for home defense. The light he seen was his reason for fleeing and I bet he seen the barrel reflecting from his view. Thanks Mike for your service and God bless!👍🇺🇸

I disagree, he was ready to fire and had exemplary trigger discipline. He didn’t want to kill anyone and no shots were needed. Job well done I say and maybe, just maybe that criminal turned his life around for the better, but I doubt it.
All I know is it’s a real good thing this good guy had his gun on him and NOT LOCKED up in the safe, car, closet or anywhere else that would have done him absolutely no good and would have been stolen from him and used in future home invasions and robberies.

True! I have an o light PL mini on my home defense gun, works great in my tiny house!
I have mixed feelings about the weapon mounted light. In my home yes I have one mounted. Daily carry, nope. They are bulky and if you only need a flashlight to look around your back yard, change a tire. Or what not. It’s attached to your side arm, if you carry a simple flash light like a surefire single aaa in your pocket. It pulls double duty.

Excellent story, Mike. Glad it turned out so well. Thanks for this food for thought.
A suggestion for advance notice and immediately distinguishing which door someone is approaching. We have Guardline motion sensors, one sensor aimed at each of two entrances, different alerts for front/back and for day/night. Daytime base in the den has two distinct short doorbell chimes. Nighttime base in the bedroom has two distinct long alarms. Praying it's never needed, but if so I'll already be moving to the bedroom rifle safe and then ambush point before a door is kicked. My turf, my rules, no fair fights.

I’m buying a new house and one of the selling points (to me) was how many choke points I have defensively. 😂
I've worn those shoes myself, only it was my alarm that woke me saying the back door had been breeched. Nobody got hurt at my house either (🙏). I hear folks talk about plate carriers etc. by the bed, but people don't realize just how quick this stuff goes down. When the bedroom and entry point(s) are on the same floor, you don't have time to even put your pants on. An AR or scattergun with a "MANDATORY" light on it is all you have time to grab. I also WILL NOT have an optic on a home defense firearm that doesn't have shake awake on it. Your fine motor skills go out the window, so you'll never find that little bitty "on" button in the heat of it all. Preparation is paramount.👍👍👍

We've had a few break-ins in our upper middle class suburban neighborhood a few years back. One through a sliding glass door on the rear of that house (threw a rock through the glass) during the day, one front door kick in during the day, one garage service door kick in during the day. We've had an alarm system for many years prior to that, but never used it that much. Now we use it religiously. I added a storm/security door to the front door (main entrance) and bolstered all of the lock plates on the house with 3" long wood screws to replace the measly standard 1/2" long screws (so the screws go into the actual wood door framing vs. just the door trim). I replaced the standard small latch strike plates with heavy duty security models. I also added extra locks to all of the windows - especially the basement windows. We added 3M security laminate to the windows on the back of the house that are easily accessible from the ground level. In all, while it's not Fort Knox, the added security measures would certainly slow down any attempt at entrance into our house. I suggest that everyone who sees this video examine their house/apartment for weak spots and take appropriate measures to secure them.
How do you like the 3M film?
I'm resourcing options to make all the glass in my home accessible from ground level break resistant
“Not Fort Knox.” If you’re doing all that in the burbs I can’t imagine what you would do if you lived in the city😂....... just maybe, board up your windows? Just a joke. Anyway, I enjoyed reading the comment and the per cautionary measures you took
Consider getting steel front and back doors WITH steel frames.
All that is good but no mention of an ar15
Great story. I like that you installed outdoor lighting. It’s key. I have so much outside lighting that the bad guy would die from skin cancer before he got to the door or windows.
I’m so glad you’re safe Mike. Thanks for sharing
I believe it's extremely important to keep a designated firearm for defensive use whether it's a concealed carry, truck gun, or home defense use.
I died when you said kicking in a door that goes out is sub optimal 😂😂
A good security upgrade for windows is simple mirrored window tinting that makes it very hard to look in but lets you still look out. It doubles as a cheap security film if some tries to break the window to get in as it is stuck to the glass already so will hold the glass together to a limited extent. Frosting the windows both blocks vision in but also blocks vision out cutting off a place you can look out yet can leak info to someone outside when they see a shadow pass by or the flicker of a tv.
You are a badass man, thank you for your service to this country!
My brother thank God for people like you man, you are good people.
It's amazing how effective motion lights are at detering bad actors.

Cool. It was a good ending. No matter what your gun of choice is it’s good to have but lighting is crucial.
I get it bro. I’ve been down that road three times in my life. It’s definitely an eye opener.
Glad it worked out, you scared him off and no one got hurt. After my car was broken into I bought a Ruger Redhawk 44, thinking my bedroom window looks down on driveway and a well placed shot from 44 mag will slow them down until coroner can get there. Only after my purchase did I discussed with Gun Sensei: 1) older home - small rooms plaster and lat, the noise/echo of 44 would deafen, not to mention blinding flash from inside dark room, 2) inner city neighborhood houses feet apart, 44 goes through wall into neighbors house.
In your case, think of yourself peaking in window: 1) red dot laser sight hits you, 2) you hear ratcheting of pump shotgun
An AR15 is an excellent home defense option, good work.
Ehhh, it’s decent. If you’re shooting at your neighbor also
It's also good at mowing people down in public. Depending upon how it's being used.
Rzr2ffe hand guns and shotguns are just as capable,it’s not just the Ar. The only reason the Ar is used in more is because it’s broadcasted by the media.
@Penumbra Idk I think an unrestricted MG42 would be the way to go.
