Two home invaders shot. It is a good reason to carry when you answer the door.

Anyone who breaks into a home has lost his right to live, and is responsible for his own death.

“Two home invaders shot. It is a good reason to carry when you answer the door.”

For that matter, a good reason NOT to answer your door, and instead arm-up if someone rings unexpectedly.

They still may break into your house, but you have a air-tight case if you plant them inside your residence and don’t disturb the scene.

And using a silencer on your home invasion deterrent device prevents your family from hearing damage.

We also have an ornate iron gate on both front and back doors that bolts into the frame of the house - we can see through it perfectly without having to open the door and it can’t be kicked in.

Also got The Ring recently, has a motion detector that floods the area with light so I can see who is on my front porch before they even ring the bell, ask them what they want and let then know they’re being recorded. Can’t recommend it enough.

I’m also armed. Anyone who gets past my dogs will get an axe to the brain and then shot.

This sends a good message. Criminals need to fear victims.

Only allowed to shot them in the leg, or in the hand, like the Lone Ranger. Criminal Joe Biden says its the only way to do it.

"They say two men knocked on a residence"

I've heard of knocking on doors but never knocking on residences... Sheesh. We've gone from Chaucer to literary garbage. Does anyone proofread anymore? Hell, do we even have any IQs in this country that break the single digits? Smh.

“It is a good reason to carry when you answer the door.”

Nothing good ever happens when there is a knock on your door @ 1:30 A.M.

In the first place, there are residences that are constructed in a way that you can not knock on the door.

Secondly, you are a nit-picking pain in the ass.

The story’s purpose is to inform, not to gain a literary award from you, which in any case would be worthless.

Just know that when Dems take over everything, “Haul Ass” will become law in all states, and you will be committing a felony if you dare harm a poor disadvantaged soul who “needs” what you got.
