I am sick as a dog watching tv when I heard someone try to open my door. I grabbed my handgun next to my chair and shouted out who is at the door and stop I have a gun. The door stoped rattling immediately.
Damn glad I keep a gun at arms reach, and always lock the door. Probably a drunk got the wrong apartment given the day and time. |

Well now they know where to shop for a gun when you're not home.

He may be ok.
According to the street robbery thread, saying you don't have a gun means you do, so I assume the opposite is true too? |

In college, my wife and I were watching a movie when a young man opened our door and walked-in. Got halfway into our apartment, turned to me, and says, "Where's (some girls name)"
Me: You mean the apartment next door? He leaves. I follow him and lock the door... |

I'd rather take the small odds of tipping off a robber, than have to explain to Barney fife why Otis is laying in a puddle of blood in my living room.

I used to get that a lot when I lived in an apartment.
People don't pay attention to addresses, and "assume" they have the right unit when it's dark outside. |

My wife and I were watching TV when our apartment door opened and a guy walked in. I grabbed a large heavy glass and creamed him up side the head. Turned out the maintenance man had the wrong apartment and I just broke a heavy glass on his skull. No issues as he didn't knock and wrong apartmen . I really miss that glass.

What's up with the dudes having someone just walk in their place? Anyone else actually close the door by the lock, and turn the lock to lock the door once the door is firmly closed?

We've been told that vomiting is useful as a deterrent.
Sounds like you're primed. |

If the intruder is lucky I'll get to him before the dogs do.
For that matter the wife- Irish women are not to be trifled with. |

Its kinda natural for cookie cutter apartments. I had the same thing happen, can tell someone was trying to open the door. I grabbed my Para and sat by, i surely didnt announce I had a gun, dumb move IMO. I truly believe they had the wrong apartment, after they walked away, I looked out window and i kinda knew which unit they were going to.

Fuck! Had you kept you trap shot for another 30 seconds your story could have been printed on some self defense rag and you could have been on TV. Well you saved a few rounds, so there's always that.
