Inside of a house, the guy on the receiving end is gonna be either deaf and covered in his own urine or real f'd-up.

Please boys, don't saw that sucker off too short, Mr BATF no likee and it just ain't worth it.

I barely made it out of the house to get my shotgun. I had a knife and that bought me the time to clear and exit.

I can say this though, my only exit was a kitchen door that had a inside key deadbolt that I had to kick open to get out, when that opened I was met by Mr. and Mrs. Hungry F. Pitbull, the fence met the steps so I jumped off the steps over the fence on the hood of the stolen car.

The only thing that was going through my head was "holy **** is this for real" I thought I was in a dream, but kept chuggin along to get my A- out of there. There was no heat in the house and the plumbing froze so water was coming from the ceiling and the lights were flickering. It was an out of this world experience.

I guess the funny part is out lazy ass carpenter never replaced the wood door with a steel door like he was supposed to. If that thing was steel I'd be toast.

MM,

If you don't have one already, be certain that you get a concealed carry permit that's appropriate for the jurisdiction(s) you plan to carry in.
