how to fight dirty if robbers come to the house in the middle of the night?

The can needs a handle like the add on handles for spray paint. If you don't have one, you'll waste time trying to identify the spray direction in the dark.

Shoot them in the nuts?

Yes, definitely. But I have cans from 3 different brands and they all have that little ‘ring handle’ to make it easy.

That sounds like a typical date for you.

Step 1: Get a real gun (12 gauge shotgun would be ideal for short range home defense - [link to www.mossberg.com (secure)] )

Step 2: Load the shotgun with defense rounds ( [link to www.midwayusa.com (secure)]

Step 3: When they break in, aim at their forehead and pull the trigger.


It'll stop them dead in their tracks. Works every time.

Anything less will just piss them off and they'll capture you, rape you, torture you, and then kill you.

A can of wasp spray will put them out of commission. Spray it into their eyes & mouth.
I also keep a cpl cans of Fox Five Point Three ( Law Enforcement Formula ) Mace in my bedroom ( The foam for inside the house) and a large canister of the cone dispersal for the outside.

I sleep with a sawed off 12 gauge (1/16th above legal ) by my bed , A .40 cal Shield with hollow point rounds under my pillow , and have a handgun and rifles , AR15 in every room in the house within grabbing distance.

To protect your doors you can take a fishing net and load it down with fishing hooks for doors and windows , I also keep baseball bats and A Lead filled Truckers Tire Thump in a cpl rooms .

I’m not worried about someone coming in on me , My dogs would lose their minds if someone they didn’t know walked in or broke in the house and whenever I am home I am ALWAYS strapped with My sidearm and an extra mag. I always keep 1 round chambered too.

If someone wants in bad enough they will find a way, especially by just busting out a window!!
That’s where you have to be prepared to use your weapon and know how to use your weapon , Constantly practice with it , drawing , shooting , stance , Combat Breathing Techniques , and Most importantly , Muscle Memory to draw that gun into firing position each and every time .

You shoot until the threat IS Completely eliminated… Completely Eliminated!

Pressure pads and rasberry pi connected to a speaker and an audio file, connect that to a rather nice sound track of 'get my gun'love followed by a few clicks and a test round.

Can even connect via a rasberry pi to a trigger actuator for a more 'immediate' conclusion to the situation.

Poisoned dog means they are coming.

Deter make them think twice
Detect know when they are coming in
Delay slow their entry
Defend destroy them with extreme prejudice

one. cut an extension cord. never mind..
two. im not going there.

Power tools.

Sharpened spikes in the yard (reenforcement rod or pipe scraps sharpened) ankle height at an angle.

Spring loaded 2x4, trip line activated with or without spikes.

Caltrops, strategically placed on walkways. Could just bend nails and tac weld together.

Hide outside and use a large can of pepper spray or bear spray.

Or leave out some bait, booby trapped or with those cheap tracking devices, something they would steal.

Motion detectors are also cheap. Can even rewire a motion light to notify you inside the house when someone is coming.

A honey badger taped to the end of a pole......

Lol!!! Haha I wouldn’t hurt a fly :D

"This shotgun has non-lethal rounds. That means I can shoot you as many times as I want and laugh while doing it."

My sign says I don't shoot to kill, I aim to maim.

Yep!

I have 3 Bull-breed dogs. All 55lb +
They are VERY territorial and very loyal, and sleep on the floor in the same room as me.
By the time an intruder gets anywhere near my room, we are all awake and ready to go.

Trying to feed poison to 3 dogs, while they are actively eating your extremities, is kinda difficult.

No need to "fight dirty". I have a 9mm next to me in the nightstand with a round in the chamber and a 12 round magazine. Bad Hombre will be dead before he hits the my wood floor.

A slingshot with a few poisoned doggie treats can easily be accomplished while still 75 feet away

Actually, wasp spray works just as well and shoots really really far.

I have guns in every room but I also keep Bear Spray next to the gun on my night stand by my bed.

My 70 year old mom just bought a shotgun. She said she’ll rack it at the top of the stairs, they’ll have to turn a corner to see her, while she waits for 911. She lives just outside Detroit.

I see what you did there.

excellent ideas everyone! thanks so much!


I since found out the dog was very old, the owner is just assuming it was poisoned because he’s a bit nuts, he’s French and old, so we don’t really know what happened yet, and he is pretty secluded at the end of our neighborhood


but it did get me to realize I need to be prepared, dog poisonings are not so rare here

a friend of mine had his dogs poisoned here years ago, he found out who did it and sent a couple of people to work the guy over, the guy got his legs busted to pieces so bad that he never walked again
