This just happened three minutes ago. I live in a "Nice" area with riff raff around the fringes.
A slow moving pick up truck parked along side of my over grown bushes. I watched as a person dressed in black got out with something under thier shirt. I had my pistol on me, walked on the porch, and they ran in the truck.
words were exchanged, but I could not decipher. I stepped in the door way, picked up my 30" Kobra, always near the door, and stepped back out. As the fool started approaching I ,lifted my Khukuri, they quickly walked back in the pick up truck, exchanged words and drove away.

I am very happy I didn't have to use my Kobra.
 
If they're in the house I "lost".:D
I don't worry about that legal mumbo jumbo. I spent more than one night in the sh@t house. It only takes money to smooth the trouble over.:D
 
Creepy. I've had stuff like that happen, especially in the city. My sister was home with her small children and someone on the front porch was turning the knob to the door.

the guys next door got in a fight right in front of our house. One of 'em hit the other with some kind of pipe or bar. Crowd gathered 'round. And the worst part was I was at work. Just the Mrs. and my Mom were home. And the dogs. I'm sleeping with a 25" siru next to the bed tonight. What's this world coming to?

I just got back in the house. I put on my old old tiger stripes, took my son's 20" kobra, and walked the "perimeter". Just a bunch of high school students toliet papering the houses.:)

What if??? Stupid kids should stay clear of drunk veterans. I like edge weapons better than guns. You have to get close, there are no "wild" shots. My house was omitted from their fun. ;)
 
Sadly, you never know these days.

And 30" seems to big for inside the house, 20" about right. Hope I never have to find out.
 
Firkin, I agree. both issues, in the "house size" khukuris and not wanting to use them. I met the "strangers" outside with the 30" Kobra. My katana is at the back door. I do not want anyone past my porch. I confront the threat outside my door.

I am very happy the energy in HI khukuris add to hesitation with wisdom. I doubt 99% of people could surrvive a determined home owner protecting his family with a khukuri.
 
sams, I understand.

If there were more than me in the house, or I weren't renting and currently owned a firearm, I'd feel the same. But under the circumstances, me knowing the house is an advantage I won't willingly give up. And it's one of the few times where having the landlord next door is an advantage.:)
 
It woulda sucked to have injured a dude with a roll of TP under his shirt.

Difficult time for the TPers, tho. What if they try to TP a Crack house, or Gang hangout? Perhaps your warning will alert them to the fact that these days folk might shoot first/ask Q's later.

Glad you didn't have to use it either. But when you act like your packin' you gotta expect trouble. 30" might seem a little bit large but a "sword" can be a very effective weapon indoors. Don't practice this myself but some people do. Best not to have to use force. These days people go to jail if they strike back in self defense! Crazy.:rolleyes:

99% sounds about right for close quarters, but I wouldn't want to go against a gun in the open (assuming the assailant can shoot worth a darn, which is a pretty big assumption since most punks seem to get their firearms training from Hollywood :rolleyes: ) Personally, I'd rather go knife v. gun inside, since it cuts down the distances and you're on familiar ground. But I guess you use whatever's at hand when the occasion strikes, including rocks, sticks, and the unabridged dictionary.

Glad the Kobra effectively diffused the situation. :)

but werent so well armed. Similar outcome, same gawking yokels not doing nuthin. Apparently, looks can be deceiving...

...I can see it now, a new Superman comic, in which S-man hears slapping and yelps of pain from a woman obviously being beaten. He flies into her apartment bldg at Mach 2, only to find a couple in bondage gear whipping each other--fer fun!

knife v. gun inside--P.S. Guns can't shoot around corners, but a khuk swung in an arc can. :)
 
Unless i was really defending my property, as opposed to comming to an aid or warning ppl off, i wouldn't want them to know which house was mine.

It'd only leave my house open to vindictive vandalism. . . .or even robbery too if they take a fancy to some fearsome looking blades.
