I just saw the BRINKS home security systems commercial.  It starts off with wife ending a phone call with husband about him being late.  And then you hear kids running about, and then all of a sudden, someone hit the door with crowbar, glass was everywhere, and alarm started to sound.  The next thing you know the wife gets all the kids together and on the phone with Brinks about someone breaking in.

It's an effective commercial and all but just for the fun of it, I was thinking how AR15 crowd would handle it.  Same scenario, young wife making dinner, then all of a sudden black masked man breaking front door down with crowbar.  The wife turns out the lights, grabs the AR pistol from the cabinet to cover the front door. The younger daughter goes for her Ruger 10/22  from behind the sofa to cover mom.  The eldest daughter rushes to the back of hourse, grabs her own M4gery, jumps out the bedroom window, rushes to the front of the house, does a tactical roll to prone position, and cuts off badguy's retreat.    When the BRINKS guy called, wife tells him to call police and let them know the suspect is in custody.

Why not have her tie a firehose around her waist and jump off the roof as it is explodes? That would be way more "tactical"!

Pfft. Here's a better scenario:

Family is at the table eating dinner. A small "pop" is heard outside. Junior asks Dad, "What was that?" Dad replies, "Ahh... Probably another Claymore on the perimeter. I guess we'll have to take the cart with us on patrol tomorrow morning. I wish someone would come up with a self-cleaning trespasser."

Quoted: Why not have her tie a firehose around her waist and jump off the roof as it is explodes? That would be way more "tactical"!

And as a police sniper is about to shoot her from inside a helicopter!  Don't forget that part

More like the guy breaks in and the Fat Slob that lives there starts a poll on AR15.com on which weapon to deploy in defense of his home.

After the overwhelming majority of idiots vote for for the Shot gun with bird shot, the Fat commando loads up fires at the heavily clothed attacker and nothing.  Fatboy is beaten to death with the crow bar!

END OF STORY!!
