Do you know anyone obsessed with home invasion? (hexbear.net)

Every chud in my life is obsessed with someone breaking into their house and the situation being resolved with the discharge of a firearm. And these are people living in low crime areas out in the suburbs, with no pedestrians. It's frustrating to talk with these people since their whole worldview is a racist panic over some imagined brown interloper invading their white fortresses.

One of my coworkers tells me he always pulls out his Glock to check the corners when he comes home in the evening. Another has a CCTV system and an AR15 by his bed. I personally don't own a gun anymore because I don't trust myself with one, and chuds will ask me what I'll do if some mentally unwell person high on amphetamines decided to enter my apartment. I guess I'd leave or call an ambulance? It seems so unlikely of a scenario that even if I had a firearm I probably wouldn't use it right, or even register this person as a threat quickly enough to do a John Wick style takedown.

How many home invasions are actually stopped this way? Do chuds all think they're Robocop?

I am absolutely serious about home defence, that's why I've fortified it using a defence in depth strategy. While any intruders are mired in the landmines and barbed wire belts strewn across ~~the street~~ my outer perimeter I can launch flanking counter attacks from my neighbours garage which I have annexed to improve my defensive posture. Should these counter attacks fail to repel the intruders I am prepared to fall back to my second line of defence in the entryway, ready to call down artillery on the pre-sighted grid squares in my front lawn. My final line of defence is centred around my garden shed, which I have fortified and surrounded with further minefields. I have attempted to expand my defence lines into the park behind my house but lack the force necessary to confront the city in open battle.
