Portland Family Living In Fear After Attempted Home Invasion

[Nosferatu]

This is why I installed a trap door to my dungeon at my front entrance.

It puts the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again.

That's what get for ignoring the signs that read, "Nevermind the pitbulls, beware of the crazy, naked old man with the shotgun."

I have Crimson Trace grips and cats, bad guy better protect his nuts if he knows what's good for him.
I also have a back-up plan...

Meth head. Good reason to keep a shotgun/rifle handy.

Suspects On Meth Are Hard To Take Down With Tasers, So Many End Up Dead In Colorado

Only 17 of the 189 people killed by police from 2014-2019 can be definitively categorized as free of drugs and alcohol at the time.

I have said for a good while now. All the video we now have of these zombies soaking up rounds and not going down if a good reason for more power.
I have long wondered if Taser did not tone things down when a few people died too. The scrubbed it from the net after huge backlash but they used to have a video of them testing a unit on a HUGE bull. They shot it and it went down, feet strait out and stayed down till the juice went off. It then jumps up and charges the fence. I have to wonder if they toned them down from those early days.

I carry around the house for just this reason, a random nut job attempting to violate the sanctity of my home…. I have a responsibility to protect my family from anyone who would do them harm…

YEP! When I get out of bed I have a little .32 that I drop in a pocket of the pants I am wearing. It is with me until I get undressed for just this reason. It's not much but should at least slow some kook down long enough for me to grab something better

And a wood chipper, or at least a shovel...

I have been tempted a few times to mention to scum I run off " you know I have a backhoe here and 20 acres of land that will not be developed until long after I am dead and gone"

The scratching post?

The scratching post?

You think I want to risk the cats ire? Not a chance I know better than that. No the backup plan is the trigger just forward of the grips.

$2.50 worth of buck shot……….that'll teach him…

Salt rock would teach him. Buckshot would teach him good.

Can't believe anyone would live in Portland more than a day with a glass door. Also, how long do you think it took the family to notice the silence of no neighbor or good Samaritan coming to help?

Not blaming the family for being victims but pointing out they had zero plan for an intruder. I doubt a gun would have done any good for them even if dad could have got it, unlocked it then loaded it.

 

[JuglansRegia]

I've heard that's the response time in parts of Portland.

1-2 hours is more than enough time to "clean things" and pretend nothing happened if they do show.

A simple thing we do is use deadbolt locks that have keys on both sides. We leave key in during the day on inside and remove it at night. Most of these thieves break the glass and reach in and turn the deadbolt (or just doorknob if you don't use deadbolt). But they can't open deadbolt if they don't have the key. Buys you extra time by making it harder to get in. Ring cam also sends an alert to your phone as soon as someone is on the stairs/porch which helps a lot.

You mean, like in Book of Eli...???

The typical argument is the fact of the very low statistical probability that anyone would actually need a gun.

(This fallacy ignores the fact of the fact of the very high statistical probability of injury or death when the low probability assault happens. )
Of course, now that the citys defunded the police, prosecutors are absent (or not pressing charges), violent criminals are released... encouraging higher crime, one can argue the odds are much higher.

There is a very low statistical probability that anyone would actually need a seatbelt and an airbag in their car. Not as low as needing a gun, but not off by a large magnitude.

Ask the arguer if they would give up their seatbelts and airbags.

"Fear" and "Living in fear" and generally "Unchecked criminal mayhem" and a governmental unwillingness or inability to put a stop to it got Hitler elected/appointed Chancellor of Germany.

Salt rock would teach him. Buckshot would teach him good.

With salt the perp could return for revenge. With buckshot, not so much.

Well, Portland justice took care of that. Catch and release for $250. I'm sure that window cost more than that to replace.

 

[GrayGoose]

So now the non-gun owner whos now admitted to legitimately living in fear, cant even go out and buy a gun -today- thanks to 114.

I have to wonder though, how did this non-gun owner, armed with a cat scratching post, vote? Did he vote for Kate Brownstain 2.0? Did he vote yes on 114? If so, I feel he got more luck than he deserved.
