They are busting through the rear door, you have only seconds to prepare for the fight!
Look to your left and right for something within arm's reach, grab anything to kill the fiends!!
I have a cup of Rum, a tattered composition notebook of movie nonsense and a heavy lockback pocket knife
What is within your reach when the 'bad people' suddenly bust through the door?
I would use visual aesthetics to instill psychically in the enemy a disincentive to attack.
shareMust be nice being handsome!
I wouldn't know lol
Nor would I. It's a quote from The Men Who Stare at Goats
George Clooney: ...a disincentive to attack.
Ewan McGregor: What do you mean?
George Clooney: Okay, you pick one of them out, you lock eyes with him, and you go into this monotone and you're gonna go...
"I'm not going to attack you."
You relax your body and your voice.
And you just rip out one of his eyes. Or you get a pen and you stab him in the neck. You create this fountain of blood, I mean a real fountain, get it squirting all over his buddies.
That is a psychic disincentive, right there.
Ha!
I never saw that one
Still, I suspect you are rather handsomeđ!
I remember that scene but for a moment there thought you might be relying on an abundance of Baker's Pink https://www.colormatters.com/color-and-the-body/drunk-tank-pink in your home (winking).
shareLouisville slugger and a dog. Also fresh hot coffee in their face.
shareAss-Kicking Trifecta!!
Well done-you certainly liveđ

shareThat was AWESOME!
So many great scenesđđ»
Thanks!!
Kick them you know where!
shareFunny thing about the scrotum kick...
It does not hurt at all
I have delivered and received many of them, dozens if I'm to be honest (I once upon a time was a real angry person lol)
That move wont stop a determined guy... the 'old kick to the bag' never stopped me in a real fight, it just ruins your balance and then you get taken down...
A punch to the throat or to the solar plexus will usually panic, confuse and shut an assailant down very quickly
Best to grab a handy weapon...just now I have a lawn chair and my ever-present movie notebook to fight the badguys!
Actually, however, any kind of strike to the scrotum, including a kick, will actually cause a guy's testicles to go back up into the lower stomach. A punch or kick to the solar plexus could repel them, as well.
shareYears ago, I actually chased off a couple of punks trying to break into my apartment brandishing one of these: https://lancasteronline.com/opinion/the_scribbler/tire-thumper-tool-or-weapon/article_9cb5c0b0-bf1f-11e3-b8f9-001a4bcf6878.html although I've always know it as a " tire buddy." They got my place by mistake. They were actually after my neighbor's, full of expensive electronic equipment, who had been recently jailed.
shareYup!
You could certainly bust up a scoundrel or two with that thing
Good on them for running away!
The worst part is if you caught up to them and gave them what they deserved you might have found yourself in a legal jam
The laws are pretty crazy
Actually, I was sitting on the end of my bed in the dark, tire buddy in hand, waiting for the first one to get halfway through the window. He must have glimpsed me somehow because I suddenly heard a panicked "Oh shit !" and then hurried footsteps hauling ass through my back yard.
I know you've seen the movie Joy Ride. Remember how they mistook the driver of the ice truck for Rusty Nail and part of their terror was the tire buddy in his hands? He had to reassure them it was for checking his tire pressure.
Jeez!
Missed this post last night...I was drinking of course, apologies
I'm pretty certain you wouldn't have needed a weapon to run off a couple of dopes!
You are a rough costumer, and I mean that in a very fond way
We have a cricket bat in our house specifically for that purpose
shareThe idea of a weapon for self-defense is so absurd, and somewhat dangerous to me, because it can be taken away and turned against the owner.
shareSo your theory is to sweet talk the home invader? Perhaps make them a cup of tea?
shareSeriously, what would you do if two (usually they enter in pairs or more) kicked your door in and your family is also home? Itâs happening everyday and they arenât waiting for the homeowners to be away. Theyâve become so brazen they know they can be in and out within 10 minutes!
sharethey ? is there a conspiracy afoot ?
edit: ok, i read where you've been broken into twice. it probably does seem like a conspiracy. you should move.
Sorry I took so long to reply. The term âtheyâ doesnât necessarily mean a conspiracy. Usually a home invasion consists of more than one piece of đ©....which was in our case...twice. Why should we move? We hadnât moved in completely the first time. You must have missed my post referencing the situation.
shareâThe idea of a weapon for self-defense is so absurd, and somewhat dangerous to me, because it can be taken away and turned against the owner.â
And you donât think they already may have a weapon? Which is more dangerous? Only the invader having a weapon or you also having one in order to give yourself and others a chance to survive. I would rather go down fighting rather than sitting there waiting for them to do what theyâre going to do.
got to get past the dog first
shareI have no guns, but I might give the bad-guy an ax kick to the shoulders or face if he came just within the right distance of me.
