For years, my mother had a woman clean her house once a week. This was a woman who worked with my mom for about 30 years and she cleaned houses on the side. They lived a block from us. I graduated with her kid and have been over to their house visiting. She makes awesome chile rellenos and would bring us some when she made them. Not just an employee, but a friend. I'd be inclined to talk to them if something like that happened to her husband.
Probably not. We operate at a disadvantage since the BG has the initiative. We can only react to something he's already doing. So, gun or no gun, the deck is stacked against us. You can level the playing field somewhat with good situational awareness. If taken by surprise, you're just hoping the BG makes a mistake that gives you a chance to get away or fight back. Carrying a pistol does not make one invincible, it merely give us a chance to defend ourselves.dubya wrote:"Two big gangstas hid in the bushes in front of his home and jumped him with guns pointed at his head as he was leaving the front door to his home."
Would a CHL (carrying) help here? Could someone typically react quickly enough for this?
(I realize more info has been posted, opening the distance and maybe increasing the potential reaction time. My statement here is more based on a hypothetical "two guys jumped you with guns pointed at you before you knew it" idea.)

Anyone ever come home and find the garage door up and you don't know why? If something fell over and got in the way, the door hits it on the way down and goes back up. If a cat runs under it as it's closing and breaks the beam, it goes back up. If it's a little out of adjustment, it may go down and right back up. Always make sure the thing is down and staying down before you drive out of sight.
