We have security lights, we was parked between them. They turned on as he went past the house. Which probably made him think he better have a good story. He sort of ended up in a free fire zone, IF I had been outside the house. The key here is he made it to the backdoor, and I was retiring for the evening. I don't open carry in my house. Nor was their time to go get a firearm.

Likewise, the dogs were sacked out too as they were hunting with me earlier in the day.

We have since put up a gate at the street.

Oh, and in addition to the security lighting outside, inside and by every entry door I store a very powerful rechargable cordless spotlight...I have used them on a few occasions to light up something or someone that didn't look right...one time someone pulled into my drive at 11 pm and sat there, I lit the car up with a spotlight and they backed out and took off...these lights are blinding. Just keep them charged up.

I challenge, and he replies "I am looking for a missing iPad".

Translation: "I am looking to steal your iPad".

So you carry all the time?

Out the door, yes. Once at home, in the drawer in the main living room. Bennelli M4 within arms reach in the bedroom. I feel I am responsible for my own defense.

ANY stranger comes down my 1/2 mile driveway meets me wearing my 45 in a visible shoulder holster. Period.

I am too fond of my 12 gauge pump with the plug removed loaded with buck shot and slugs to look for the 45. At my age I might miss with the 45, but with the buck shot, no way. Nothing like a cross cut 12 gauge slug to make someone wonder what part of their anatomy used to be where the hole is now.

Spoken like a true country boy.

We sure enjoy our First Amendment Rights for a couple of non right wingers...

Which one: Freedom of speech? Assembly? Religion?

I would say a shotgun falls under all three. Your yelling when your cocking it, the shot hopefully ends up in the right place, and your thanking the Lord after....

The first thing you need to do is install security lights that you can turn on and make it DAYLIGHT at all corners of your house!
I have triple flood lights on a mast that gives me very good visibility for my driveway.
With my lights on him I would have held him at gunpoint until the Sheriff arrived!

I for one am not going to turn my yard to daylight because of some prowler. Tell him to get off your property and if not let him hear you gun go off. If this guy is bold enough to confront you and come back several times he is not afraid of you knowing he is there. Let him know your home is not a safe place for him to be at night.
