Brock - The one about the "lights off" tactic before a home invasion was really good - thanks! Pete

Brock - The one about the "lights off" tactic before a home invasion was really good - thanks! Pete Thank you, and I can't believe I had never thought of this before. What he stated not to do is exactly what I do, which could be deadly. No more!

Dogs and cats...
I always kept cats because they will let you know what's going on outside without letting everybody outside know that you know they're there.
I have 6 cats. ANYTHING happening outside the house has 12 ears pointed in the direction of the happening.
With no barking, anyone outside has no clue I know they're there.
Element of surprise stays with me.
Make sense?

Definitely always keep the lights out. A burgular entering your home at night has to immediately adjust his vision to the new darkness. Though it may be dark outside, it's darker INSIDE and his pupils will expand to allow more light, thus blinding the shit out of him. You however will have the upper hand as your eyes will more than likely already be adjusted to the light levels. Use the dark to YOUR advantage. Chances are, you will see the criminal before they see you. The next thing they should see is the flash of your barrel. IMO, if you're going to make a warning shot, make sure you make it midcenter in their chest; hell, give them 2 warning shots in the chest. That should give them enough warning that you're armed!

The last gun show I was at the local national guard had a table set up like they normaly do , and we were talking about lights on guns as I was thinking of buying one for my gun . They told me they cannot see why someone would put a light on there weapon as it would give your location away as soon as it was turned on . What is your take on this ?

It's good to have the capability. I have a laser/flashlight combo, but it is only there to be used as necessity dictates, which means, needless to say, that you don't turn them on and go wandering around the house looking for the culprit. Comprised of two switches which enable full on, and flash on for either one or the both.

I don't put a light on my guns. Light discipline is important in a confrontation. A light just gives them a place to aim. The only way I will turn on any light is if I see they have Night Vision on. Then I turn on a light to blind them for a second as I start shooting. Remember an intruder doesn't know the layout of your house. Practice moving around the house without lights. I use a 12 gauge for inside the house. Aim low in the dark, as most people aim too high in the dark. Double 00 to the groin. Then move so if they shoot at the flash you are not there. Then one more 00 to the chest and a penetrator slug to the head. I want to pick up some more Flechett rounds as they can go through a vest. I don't know about a trauma plate, but do know a vest will look like Swiss Cheese.

They also carry Armor Piercing , Incendiary, Door Breaching, Flame Thrower, Flechette, and Flash Bang. "This is 12 Gauge Pit Bull Ammo. This ammo is loaded with a dual load. It has six 00 Buck pellets and a 3/4 Oz. slug. The buckshot shoots out first followed by the slug. This is a great choice for home protection. If the buckshot don't get them, the slug will. This is a really powerful load. It is a 2 3/4" shell and is loaded to the max load. It is safe to shoot in all 12 Gauge shotguns." www.ammunitiontogo.com/catalog1/product_info.php/cPath/120_259_209/products_id/1076
