Intruder shot with his own gun by homeowner
This came out well. No more home invasions for the perp either.
What to do: How to Defend Yourself.
Get a dog or an alarm. You need to be alerted before you wake up looking at an axe handle.
Get a gun. Nothing works better for stopping a home invasion than having the ability and willingness to apply lethal force if necessary.
Get Trained. Practice your method. If you rely on a handgun then spend time familiarizing yourself with the operation and practice shooting it.
Make your home less appealing for invasion
The Five Ls
Locks - Bulk up your locks. Deadbolts require them more time to get in giving you time to react and call authorities.
Lights - Motion sensing lights, perimeter lighting, indoor lighting. You can spend very little on electricity by using LED lighting.
Landscaping - thorny bushes, open wide spaces around the house and few hiding spots.
Lettering - ( Alarm Monitoring Signs) even if you don't have an alarm. No trespassing signs if allowed in your subdivision. Neighborhood watch stickers and signs. Video monitoring signs.
Look - How appealing your home is for invasion often is the apparent value of goods to be found. Someone living in a rotted out trailer has less to offer a home invader than someone with new cars in the driveway of an immaculate and expensive home in a remote location.
