How to protect your family from home invasion
Today.com (NBC News) ^ | September 9, 2014 | Jeff Rossen and Jovanna Billington

Zeins also suggests keeping another item in your bedroom: "Buy a can of wasp hornet spray in the hardware store or the supermarket, keep it by your bedside or the floor," he said. "It's more powerful than police Mace.

"The great part is, when you spray, it will go 20 to 25 feet," Zeins added. An intruder hit with the spray will be temporarily blinded. Please check your state and local laws on the legality of using these sprays for self-defense.

Zeins has another tip: Sleep with all your bedroom doors open. You want your kids to hear what's going on; then you can get the family all in one place and leave together.

In a worst-case scenario — if you are captured by an intruder, like Susan Dawson — you should cooperate and tell them where the valuables are, Zeins advises.

I have always been amazed by the ease with which liberals believe absolute fantasies. Here we see liberals trying to give "real" advice about defending yourself when your home is invaded by criminals. First, they get their expert adviser from the rabidly anti-Second Amendment, anti-self defense NYPD. The adviser is a hostage negotiator who is trained to try to talk his way out of crisis situations. His "expert" advice: keep a can of wasp spray handy. After all, it works against wasps, right? You could also spray yourself with a can of criminal-repellant spray too. And be sure to leave your bedroom doors wide open. It makes it easier for other people to hear. Of course, it also makes it easier for home invaders to get into your bedroom in the middle of the night even though you sleep with a your trusty can of wasp spray. And the ultimate piece of liberal advice when worse comes to worse confronting criminals - just be polite and submit! Criminals are really nice people who just need to be treated with respect; then, the criminal will treat you with respect in return.

Right! How many women and children have to be kidnapped, raped, and murdered by thugs & sex offenders before the libs figure out that submission empowers criminals? How many decent people have to be beaten & murdered in their own homes before these liberals wake up?

It comes down to some simple questions: do you want to be at the mercy of criminals in your own home or would you rather that the home invaders were at your mercy? If you are going to defend yourself and your loved ones against a violent criminal, do you want a can of bug spray or a gun? Do you think the NYPD reaches for bug spray or for their guns when they have to defend their lives?

Welcome to reality!

Ping. Liberal’s elf-defense advise in a home invasion! You cannot make this stuff up!

A good dog is one of the best things, especially an intelligent one.

Next have a gun which is easy to use handy by your bed. Be darn certain of your target before you shoot tho. Also keep a powerful light handy. I particularly like one I have which with the first click shines a bright clear light. Second click and it pulses another very bright beam. I think this might very well make an invader lose their train of thought.

Please check your state and local laws on the legality of using these sprays for self-defense.

if this hadn't come from a democrat at NBC I'd think it was a joke.

Buy a firearm and just kill the damned intruders, simple.

I think the best defense is an IR laser. They will fry the eyeballs of an intruder and they won’t even know what’s happening except for the pain and their lights going out.

You have to make sure you have IR lenses though or you will be blind too...

Excellent advice that I follow.

An intruder in your home will likely not leave witnesses regardless how well of a liberal sheep you act.
This article is chalk full bad advice.
If you have kids, you train them early about firearms and respect for said firearms. You get them to the range early. You (very carfeully) supervise them with a shotgun shooting double odd buck that knocks them on their asses and scares the crap into them about respect for firearms. There is a gun/rifle in every bedroom of this house. I have a dog that swears a mouse is out to kill us and makes the WHOLE house know about it (no one, NO ONE has managed to sneak up on this house yet). You manage caches in and out of your home. You practice escape routes and rallying points. You know your property/neighborhood/surroundings better than anyone else. You keep a top notch med kit at home in case things don’t go your way and you have to deal with wounds after the perps are dead.
I taught my kids to get skinny and low (I’m talking leaving indentations in the carpet low) if we ever experience a “home invasion” because drywall wont be stopping shit and my street sweeper would be leveling thugs thigh high and above (side note, I don’t live in suburbia, you can however purchase rounds designed NOT to exit your home to protect your neighbor if you do have homes close by).
These people and their passive aggressive “wasp spray” crap are not committed to surviving. They only prolong the experience until they “believe” law enforcement show up.

Bottom line, instead of wasp spray, prepare yourself to go off like a hornets nest and the word will get out VERY quickly that your property is not to be trifled with; especially if the bad guys are laying dead inside (all the bad guys must be dead btw, leave nothing left to come back and sue you).

I’ll take my trained Malinois, backed up by a Glock .45, and an AKM with a light, Aimpoint, and 30 rounds over the liberal’s advice, and no, I won’t tell them where my valuables are, either.

The always relevant, “when you are falling victim to home invasion, be sure to defecate yourself and cry profusely while begging for your life and leniency.”

Just tape a poster on your front door (that Soviet-style one is best) of Obama's fascist face...and print along the bottom, "This Home Protected by God Almighty".

The home-invaders will immediately go next door to break in.....especially if the house next door has an American flag flying from a front-yard pole.
