Doesn't anybody wonder why homes are made so cheaply there are a dozen ways to get inside?
....how many readers here have extended striker plates on their door locks and solid, heavy duty dead bolts?...

Good topic for a dedicated thread....

Man I don't carry at home. That is just too much hassle. There's a gun on the 1st floor and the second floor and I can get to them in 5 seconds.

the average dude can cover TWENTY-ONE FEET in 3 seconds....... think you can NOT ONLY *get* the gun but aim and squeeze off a round in 3 ??????????????????????????????????????????

[InvictusManeo]

Excellent point, Metalhead. That's why I not only carry, but keep the bayonet extended. If he covers the ground before I can squeeze, sucks for him!

But seriously, my main reason to want a handgun is so that I CAN carry at home. Well... and because they're fun. I have no delusions that my fine county is going to give me a CCW, and I won't do it illegally. I'm good at running from conflict, but there's only one door out of my current residence.

The bathroom is a great place to keep a gun. Just put a small safe under the sink. Stack-On makes one that opens from the front. So you can even stack things on top of it (pardon the pun) . The garage is also a good place to keep a gun or two. You can be very vulnerable when working on projects, etc., with the garage open.

Isn't the humidity a problem?

You could always try some desiccant.

I live about 10 minutes from the reported home invasion.

It's not a terrible area though quite a few rentals.

For some reason I have the gut feeling that the victimized family is 1st gen Asian and there may be gambling debts. I could be all wet, of course, but there are just better places to do home invasions.

By contrast, when you get up to the hill above Capitol/87, it's a very poor place to do a home invasion as there's always sumpin' handy.

This will, of course, devolve into a thread about "What's the best toilet gun?" instead of CCW piece, SHTF gun etc

I heard a lot of asians that have businesses that only take in cash don't put all that cash in the bank. I believe because of taxes. They stash the cash at home. So when the punks hear that a certain home has cash. they rob them. This is what I heard when I use to live in the bay area.

I always carry at home.

I don't know about the tax avoidance part, but typically more traditional Asians will keep cash at home. Today's generations, I wouldn't count on it.
