Wrong House picked for Home Invasion

Obviously the homeowner needed a larger caliber gun, 4 shots center mass should have left the perp laying at the door.

Is it nearing the time for homeowners to have a mantrap entrance where a door closes behind any visitor, metal detectors /xrays reveal any weapons and neutralize the visitor prior to other door opening. Sounds Sci-fi but it may come to that and also no windows in the house. A camera and LCD screen to depict the view out the window would work.

I just viewed a You Tube video about how the L.A. PD has license plate scanners on patrol cars that automatically scan every car they pass and it goes into a data base to be compared to stolen vehicles etc. They can tract cars and their owners where they have been, who they are seen with etc. Good for Police but used unscrupulously could be dangerous to the public.

Castle murder holes ...
Castle Features

Most castles, by the time of concentric castles, had what were called "murder holes" above their main entrance. Strictly called machicolations, defending soldiers above the murder holes would throw down onto the enemy underneath boiling water, boiling pitch etc., whatever was likely to put off the attacking soldiers. The attackers had to get close to the castle to get in, so they had to get under the murder holes to attack the main entrance. We do know that parts of dead bodies were thrown through these gaps to put off the enemy !!

We live in the country and the few times someone comes to our door, rings the bell...I go to the door with my pistol in my pocket and at the ready...Never know.

I would hate living in fear. As I once read somewhere "WORRYING does not take away tomorrow's TROUBLES, it takes away today's PEACE."

I live "way out" in the country. Nearest neighbor is 3+ miles away. My driveway is a mile long. I certainly DO NOT live in fear. It is well known in this part of the country that I approach all unknown visitors parked in my yard with a loaded shot gun. Friends have no problems visiting - others who may have ulterior motives best reconsider a trip down MY driveway.

Well Now, that's a real cute response.....and making fun of my quote I have on my signature shows you are a real class act...:thumbdown:

Maybe one day you will mature to the point you understand the difference between being prepared to protect your family and being fearful...Keep hope alive.

Brin, I've seen your quote before and always thought "I like that"; it sounds a lot more mature than some of other quotes that I see. I thought "this guy knows how to live". I guess I don't understand what you mean by you quote either. :indifferent:
