Got an email from USCCA today W/ a story about a guy that survived a home invasion because he and the wife had a plan.
I have to give the guy props on two points 1.) He had a plan and 2.) He and his wife drilled it and used it when needed.
But I also have a critque, and I'd like to get some feed back. Here's the story
Toney neighborhood, early evening, man & his wife just finished dinner. Man's in the livingroom in a recliner, wife's in the bathroom.
Man's sitting in the LR small dog W/him gets up and walks into the kitchen. About that time the man here's a loud crash assumes the dog knocked something over and gets up to investigate.as her approaches the kitchen he comes face to face W/ a crackhead W/ an aluminum baseball bat. This is where the emergency action drill commences.
Man turns and runs, yelling the emergency codeword ( special word that would never come up in normal conversation such as "gorillabutt". At the sound of the word wife comes out of the bathroom and runs to the bedroom husband right behind her. BR has been made into a saferoom. Plan was they both hole up in the safe room, wife grabs XD45 off the nightstand, husband grabs the 870 and gets ready to defend the door while wife is calling 911.
The plan worked ok except for wife almost shut husband out of the room.
Bad guy is locked out in hallway starts kicking door. Husband ( I cringe to say this) racks the slide on the shotgun and BG runs away.
Like I said, they had a plan, they practiced it and , ultimately, it worked.
My Critque
When husband moved toward the kitchen he moved away from his defensive weapon and his safe room. This was an older couple what if the BG beat him to the room? What if Wife locked the door W/ husband on the wrong side? ( as almost happened)
I can only type so much text on my phone so I'll have to finish in a second post
