THIS IS ALL THEORETICAL as far as home protection against common criminal thugs.

As a whole, we are too dumb and numb to do fucking shit to fight back. Firearms are great if you know how to use them and are willing to do so, but a lot of mall ninjas will be taken by surprise and will have no chance.

You gotta look at historical patterns of attack on civilians to get some idea of what is coming and WHEN. When might be soon or never, but you need to understand the true warning signs and when the attack will come and the likely time of day it will come if and when it does.

Paranoia pays in times like these. Don't answer your fucking door when someone pounds on it. Get Brinks security bars for your doors and your sliding glass patio door. You can nail paracord that you've twisted into a gill-net type cover that spans your whole glass patio door above it and drape it down whenever you want and then fasten it into screws you put in the floor; trust me, it'll slow fuckers down trying to get in, BIG TIME. I suggest getting some large fish hooks and work them all in that paracord net as well LOL.

ALL that shit does is give you time, BUT it also gives you a warning and therefore an advantage to shoot assholes while they struggle to get in.

Sure, they have numbers and more firepower, but at least you can take many of them out with you. Then it's up to you to decide if you surrender eventually or go out cleanly.

Peace.
