I carry my CCW Glock 23C for home defense gun on my person around the house with me 24/7 . A gun will do you NO GOOD if you are in the kitchen making a cup of coffee or in the bathroom and you left your gun in living room where you were watching TV when someone kicks open your front door with a gun . You will have less than 5 second to have you gun in your hand before they are pointing there gun at your head . So carry a gun that is easy for you to carry around the house . A robber not going to knock on your door and give you time to go get your gun . Surprise is everything ask any cop with a search warrant .

Our crime rate is so low that, no, we don't carry in our home. More of a chance of a bear trying to break in than a burglar and bears don't try to break in a house unless the owner got stupid and left food and garbage outside where the bear could get it. Once a bear connects your house with food, you have a problem. Then, too, if anyone did approach the house, our dogs would sound a very loud alarm.

Oh, I agree on the geese. When I lived in Chicago, they were a major problem. Goose poop, everywhere, and they would attack people, sometimes, especially during nesting season. They can be really nasty critters.

![]() Another trend is to approach you when you are getting something in your car or bringing in groceries. A few weeks back hear locally, they grabbed a young girl while retrieving something from her car & proceeded back in the house, using her as a shield & the Dad said close your eyes baby, it will be alright & put 1 in the guys head! It pays to practice ![]() Also, the mom was backing him up with her CCW. | |

The Chicago suburbs made for perfect goose habitat. Bluegrass lawns provided the food and there were lots of city parks, shopping centers and apartment complexes with ponds and lakes for nighttime habitat. The Canadas never even migrated. They kept the water open in ponds by sheer numbers. The county actually trained dogs to go out and harass the geese out of the city parks because the geese were game birds and could not be shot out of season. Yup, goose poop, everywhere. Actually had one attack me while riding my bicycle. Pays to wear a bicycle helmet. Ouch!

My front porch is fenced and locked and when I work in garage I have fencing to put up to let Duke run in garage with me . Before I open my door and I look and see it is not a neighbor I grab Duke's collar and key him on the words "ON GUARD " he shows his teeth and growls and 100 Lbs pitbull scares the hell out everyone outside that fence and they say sorry and leave . I have a No Solicitors and Beware of dog sign on door so they have no business knocking on my door . I never open door at night . ![]() Last edited by tx gun runner; 11-01-2014 at 02:04 PM. |

If it isn't on my waist, it is always within arms reach or the shotgun is in the corner of the room that I sit in most of the time....

Always here though the wife doesn't, she figures I always have her back! That only works when I am there!

My "X" didn't like loaded gun in the house the 1st year were married . I had to go out of town for a couple of days and I left a loaded 1851 Colt sheriff on the top of the hutch for her . When I came home there was a foot print on the door like someone tried to kicked it open and a bullet hole in my front door . Someone said he was a meter reader a little after lunch and the meter is in he basement in Philly which was read only 3 weeks ago . I told her never go to front door without the gun in your hand if she is alone and never open the door or let anyone in the house for any reason . She told them they just read the meter and he kicked the door and then she shot . Didn't see any blood outside but a 36 cal round ball don't have much poop after going threw a 100 yr old oak door . There is a brick wall across the street for a back stop and no bullet hit it . My guess she hit him . ![]() |
