Attempted Home Invasion in LA

https://abc7.com/los-angeles-homeowner-fights-back-armed-robbery-home-invasion-ccw/14016199/

As reported in The Armed Citizen blog http://graphics.nra.org/armed_citizen/ac_136.html from the NRA, which is well worth subscribing to.

The surveillance video is instructive. Note the ‘chase instinct’ in play. After the homeowner gains the upper hand by pulling his gun and firing, he chases after the intruders instead of going inside, locking the door, establishing a blocking position, and then calling the POlice.

This incident demonstrates a worthy addition to Don’t Go Outside http://modernserviceweapons.com/?p=18502 to our Personal Protection pre-planning. Get Inside As Soon As Possible is the flip side tactic.

    You need to see the interview with Colion Noir. The guy explains what and why he did everything. https://youtu.be/YggjBXIxFck?si=HfCOc6TdU7t7JLLW

    Funny how the impulse to push to a conclusion, to “win” the action, is so compelling. A moment’s thought about the potential consequences of pursuing should be enough to make him go inside.

      He explain in a interview how he didnt want to open the door and possibly let the threat in and he knew he was in a death trap if he stayed where he was. Watch the video I linked.

    Thank you. Further reasons to follow your advice: There may be outside accomplices (lookouts, car drivers, backup) in position outside.
