Am I too careful

I thought this was going to be about the gated community.
We live in a very crime-free subdivision.
One day, during the Covid lock-downs, I woke up and found a pair of jeans and a pair of boots on the ground, just outside the back door.
Cops came and got the boots and jeans.
That's all I know.
Anything can happen anywhere, I recon.

For dry firing semiautos I use snapcaps and designated magazines. Nickel of stainless for blued guns, blued magazines for stainless/nickele guns.

Which is the most important part of a successful home invasion.



How do you practice finding the gun, then the magazine, then loading the magazine into the gun and then chambering a round while under stress of a attack?



Or drunk or high on drugs or trying to get the homeowner to open the door
for easy invasion.

iThe magazine is in the gun, I just have to rack the slide/

You might consider getting a DA/SA semi-auto with exposed hammer such as the SIG P239 or Beretta 92FS. The heavier double action trigger pull along with the hammer being visually down should increase your confidence when handling it.

I just happen to own both guns. The SIG has nine rounds with one in the chamber and the Beretta 16 - 21 rounds with one in the chamber. I carried the P239 before switching to the 92FS.

Paul (rest his soul) swore he center punched the ape, right in the head. He was only about 10' away with a rifle, had served in Vietnam as an armorer and was a good shot, so I had no reason to doubt him.

The actor portraying the ape went on with his career. Paul went to the dog house and the TV went to the landfill. Paul's dad Fred went through the roof.

The story you just heard is true. The names were not changed to protect the innocent.

Glad nobody got hurt and thanks for the story with a valid safety point swinging through the humor

The old school way that was driven into my head decades ago, you can never be too careful when it comes to guns.
