Heh. I'm not, but I live on a separate floor of a building with my father, so if we suffer from a home invasion one of us will be somewhat delayed in coming to the aid of the other. If we're alerted to it by the alarm system, then we'll be taking some time to clear our floor and turn off the alarm before likely realizing the other was threatened (an.
And it's still an issue if you've got an armed partner, neither of you can necessarily afford to be disabled for a few moments. Suppose there are multiple invaders ... in any case, "tunnel vision" in focusing on one threat is to be avoided, e.g. you don't want to rush past a non-shooting invader and then get bushwhacked by him.
I'm surprised you haven't bought the PipBoy4000 with the SurvivorMate addon. Just a press of a button inflates a life size doll decoy, buying just enough time ...
This sounds good, but you're failing to take into account chemtrails. Think about it man, they already got you. Best to move to a safe location like say far outside of any US border.
You realize home invasions are a real thing, right? Personally, I think hba's preparations are a little excessive (certainly far beyond anything I would feel necessary), but he's not crazy...
You and kghose laugh at me and my father, but it sounds like we've got proven, time tested answers to violent crime directed at us, and you're in the "Dial 911 and die" category.
I do hope that you have enough moral consistency that if or when things get nasty, you don't pester your "gun nut" and "prepper" acquaintances but accept the fate your unpreparedness would normally dictate.

What are you talking about? If Armageddon comes, we're obviously going to murder you and take all your supplies. I mean, "moral consistency" is nice and everything, but it's nothing weighed against the survival of my family.
Maybe you should invest more effort in shoring up our civilization, instead of eagerly anticipating its downfall.
"If Armageddon comes, we're obviously going to murder you and take all your supplies."
And how will you accomplish this when we have the guns, and you don't? Who's going to bell the cat?
"Armageddon" will very likely kill me due to disruptions in pharmaceutical supply (I'm 53 with a chronic medical condition). That you assume I'm "eagerly anticipating [civilization's] downfall", and doing nothing in the meanwhile to delay or forestall it, from no more data than that I'm prepared for bad things and bad times, says rather a lot. That this dehumanizing attitude is so common with your breathen certainly makes my moral calculations for the future a lot simpler.
>And how will you accomplish this when we have the guns, and you don't?
Well, people who pile on guns for such situations, usually aren't the smartest apples in the orchard, so to speak. So it should be quite easy to take those from them.
