This Is The Reason Why I Have My Good Friends Smith & Wesson & Glock


Yes this is a movie but home invasions are far too real. I live right up the street from my local PD and even if I call 911 it's going to take 5 minutes minimum for a cop to make it to my house. So, if someone is dumb enough to break into my house, their last memory might be the muzzle flash or maybe the sound of my 12 gauge tactical shotgun racking. You come into my house uninvited and I guarantee you that you will never see the light of day again. I won't even ask any questions.

Dude, here's what's going to happen: noone will ever break into your home with the express intention of killing you because that only happens in the movies. What will happen is your partner is going to come home early from bowling and knock over the trash can. You will think its a killer on the loose and fire your oh so important gun out the window and kill her/him.
Happens every day in the US (and in South Africa - look up the case of Oscar Pistorius)

Home invasions are incredibly rare. In reality more people are killed by toddlers with guns than by terrorists.

"noone" is not a word.

You are either extremely naive or intellectually dishonest. You can be both but you can't be neither.

Outside the house is a different story. Outside they are not yet a threat and warrant a warning. Inside the house, I'm trained to ascertain the threat but at a late hour, all of my family are home snug in their beds so if I hear a trashcan being kicked, it's by someone who isn't supposed to be in the house.

Um, no it doesn't. And Pastorious murdered his girlfriend.

This one made me laugh. The Orlando shooting alone killed 49 people(in a gun free zone no less) so this blows a hole into your theory. But you little lefties like to change the hashmarks on what is considered terrorism in order to fit your narrative so I'm pissing up a rope here.

You anti-gun wackos make me laugh. In 2016, the city of Chicago, the city in the U.S. with the most restrictive gun laws, had 4,379 shootings of those 714 were fatal. What you foolish lefties fail to realize is that criminals don't obey laws. But you don't care because you are all in favor of criminals. This is why you demand they be treated with kid gloves while in prison and you don't give a damn about the victims. This is why a majority of the world thinks you are a joke.

Dude I'm super happy it's never happened to you. Seriously. Trying to hold a door closed while someone is trying to enter your home is horrible. Having your back door kicked in by four armed men who then hit your husband in the head with a gun and hold him at gunpoint while you are hiding, calling 911, wishing desperately that you owned and were trained on how to use a firearm.....sucks. Being informed by the police that the ONLY reason they didn't kill anyone is because you had both seen their faces but they couldn't find you and knew you had a phone with you is terrifying. I now own that gun. A few actually and am well trained on how to use one. It's not as rare as you think it is.

Oh also I found the film pretty enjoyable overall :)

reply

Sucks that they didn't kill you.

You could have saved as a helpful warning to other people. Instead, you became just another crime statistics and kept your lives. Sigh.

Unless they come in while you're asleep.

You're still sleeping at noone?

If it's been a late night and I haven't gone to bed until sixe or sevene

I came here to post the same thing. Anyone living alone without protection is asking to be a victim. This movie had to be based in Canada. Only there could a killer like this assume that a person was unarmed.
