Re: Intruder in my back yard
Well after reading this post it got me thinking and I called Center Point gas/electric and gave them the combo for a number lock I just installed on the side of my house. They were more then happy because I told them it was for security reasons and they now have it on file. The said they do it all the time and it was not a problem. Get a number lock and give it to your provider. Unless a prowler has bolt cutters or wants to jump a 7 and a half foot fence he is not coming in my back yard. Carrying around bolt cutters and a man jumping a 7 foot plus fence in the middle of the day is not something most burglars want to do. At least it will help deter them a little.

Re: Intruder in my back yard
Well I would even be leery about leaving my locked bedroom area if my dog went crazy late at night. That means someone is either making noise at a door, window, gate or is already in the house. I have no children so obviously a parent’s situation is very different but I would definitely never unlock a door or walk outside.
I would have my girl go into the master bath closet with her gun were there is only one point of entry and the person entering is pretty much turning a blind corner. I would stand in front of the closet door with my 20 gauge, Glock 20 and any other hardware waiting for them to turn yet another blind corner from in the bedroom after they have broken down the bedroom door. All the time my girl would be on the phone with 911 behind a locked door. Of course this is my scenario and everybody’s is different but I would never walk outside.
If you hear a noise or suspect an intruder secure yourself and love ones and call the cops. That’s what they are paid for, to protect us. I rather over react and waste a little tax payers gas then blow it off and start walking around my house or yard looking for trouble. I know it has been discussed here before but if your in a secure area or an area where you have the element of surprise you should not leave it! Just my 2 cents.
P.S. Remember that bullets easily penetrate sheetrock walls and use that to your benefit.
