To make a long story short. I was 15. Knock on the door. Like everyone else does, I opened the door. Two men with shotguns, one barrel forced into my chest to knock me down. Hands tied behind back, feet tied, pillow case tied over my head. Same scenario for my nephew who is 4 days older than me. He was with me that day. 30 minutes hogtied wondering if they will shoot us on their way out or not.
Ask me if i EVER open the front door now without knowing who is on the other side, or if i dont know who is on the other side, do I have my gun pointed at the door, especially at night. I vowed this will never happen again. My doors stay locked when iam home, day or night.
Other story. I was 14 and spending the night at my dads. Two dudes in their late teens wake me by walking thrue the house and my dad was in his late 60s. I acted like I was asleep until they left. Now I also vowed that if anyone every entered my house at night I will be ready. My gun is never further than arms length when I sleep. It is in a safe that uses your fingers to puse the right combo.
Iam one of the most mellow try to avoid conflict people you will meet, but I dont intend on being a victim.
I learned at a young age that it can happen to me.
Thanks to all for listening.
