So that makes me the only one in here with a couple of deacts, Khuks and a fire axe?
The way I see it if anyone breaks into my house, fact is the odds of them getting away for any period of time are about 0. As for the gangs with body armour, chances of that over here are fairly minimal, I would put money on the reason for the increase world wide being the availability of body armour
.
I have always wondered what most people would do if someone broke into their house, whether they would actually let rip or not...

...And in quite alot of ways, downright stupid Aussie government's gun laws, I'm pretty much stuck as a blade collector. Not that I mind collecting only Khuks, swords and other blades, but it means guns are out of the question!
And on that subject;
A guy in body armour is just that. *BODY* armoured. Blow off his head and he's no longer a threat! That's what a good sawn-off 12-Ga and double-brick walls are for!

Well, often these gangs are in guise as police officers. BA helps them look legit while actually offering some protection.
(But, like I read somewhere, "The witch doctor's blessing was defeated by thirty caliber." )
A fellow moderator on THR had to deal with this recently. Don't think the gang's been caught yet...was targeting primarily Mexican illegals.

Hello StmmZamm,
If you would like to read a monthly account of American Citizens who did "let'er rip",check out this site.This is something you will hardly ever see in the elite liberal American media.

This is true, but there is very little of this type of activity cross culturally in the general population.
It is mostly Black on Black seeking product or profits of the Crack business, Hispanic on Hispanic seeking product or profits of the Heroin and Meth business, or Asian on Asian seeking currency and gold jewelry.
It first became noticed in this country as an Asian gang activity targeting members of the new S.E. Asian community who, because of a mistrust of banks and the system in general, would store their wealth, usually in the form of gold, in their homes. Many of these crimes went unreported.
Although not unheard of, the chances of a white, suburban, middle-class family being the victim of a home invasion robbery are about as likely as being attacked and eaten by Godzilla.
I'm not sure where you have been for the last few years. But, there is not a reduction in crime the way most Police Departments would have you believe. The one Large city near me is Austin. The murders and rapes you hear about on the TV news is hard to believe and, it is not getting any better. Dallas and Houston are not getting any better either.
Wake up and smell the coffee my friend we are now living in a very violent society whether you want to believe it or not. If you choose to not be prepared for what can happen even in rural areas. Just be my guest.

In 1992 a man came in my house at 3:00 am.
I heard the glass break and window going up.
I grabbed my Deer Knife; As I didn't have a khukuri then
I waited in the hallway behind the Grandfather clock
as he came tip toeing by I proceeded to stab him 13 times in the upper chest!
To say the least he want be in this line of business anymore.
He wanted something well he got more than he ever anticipated
nough said
home defense is a must!

There are too many "wet brain" alcoholics who haven't killed themselves, yet, out there that stay out of prison or else get released from prison.
I use use term "wet brain" clinically.
These are drunks who have damaged their brains. The damage is irreparable. And they remain dangerous due to that damage. Whether drunk or sober for 10 years.
That doesn't take into account those whose brains have been affected by other drugs, minimal brain dysfunction, or have sociopathic personalities.
A social work trainee told me she was going over to a client's house. I told her, "Not alone, you're not!" Then I called the cops. They sent a car, we followed it, and were followed by a second car. The second car was not to protect us. It was to protect the other officer. And the trainee who was going to go in by herself - reconsidered her assumptions.

Benaround;
It is a myth the middle class is left out of violence. Lower numbers, sure, but still a real risk. Homeland defense is defending one's home, as one poster succintly stated.
Look at this possibility: there is a huge 'incident' near your area, a dirty bomb, a real huke, a bio contagion: are you prepared to deal with the criminally displaced element amongst us who take advantage of these and natural disasters?
.. .....
Rusty, I don't know any 'wet brains' as bad as you describe. An enormous amount of damage is reparable. Talk to people with huge strokes.
Hell, talk to me.

AK-47
British Enfield SMLE
Mossberg 500
and last but not least my ...
.357 Marlin carbine with its mate the Ruger Security Six.
Then there's Barb's 30-30 Winchester with the 4 power scope and the Ruger 10-.22 with the Simonds 3X9 scope.
Don't sell a .22 short. A well placed round can do the job, especially with some of the new ammo.
There's probably been more deer killed with a .22 than any other rifle, ought to work for two leggeds just as well.

My post was in response to the threat of attack by organized home invasion gangs. These events are well planned and target specific victims, none of which include the average middle class household.
As far as the danger from violent crime in general, I agree it certainly does exist and everyone, regardless of demographics, must be constantly on guard.
However, the threat does not come from organized home invasion gangs, but from predatory individuals, groups acting on impulse, and family members.
Yes and No, Beenaround: you jumped upon the example of a 'home invasion' robbery to 'poo poo' risk. While I agree we are not at current time armed against Al Queda or a marching army, there are uses for being armed.
I do agree also that the classic 'home invasion' does not normally occur ( at present time) to many outside socio economic groups- read minorities like Chinese or Korean etc..
But you should be in Hog heaven- you enjoy stirring it and then watching the pot bubble.
Oh, by 'groups on impulse' you address riots and larceny during typical natural and man made disasters. My point remains that given enough of a terrorist incident, the number of displaced people bent upon crime will be unprecedented. If Dallas or NYC is nuked; watch out.

Yvsa, few people know the lever action as the original 'assault' rifle, and fewer still light upon a .357 pistol-rifle combo. The effects of modern .357 ammo with increased velocity and CONTROLLABILITY in the carbine could be nothing less than outstanding...
