I once had a really drunk guy bang on my door at like midnight thinking there was a party or something. I said there wasn’t anything there for him and he started getting really aggressive trying to shove the door open but luckily I was wearing shoes and just blocked it with my foot. If he hasn’t been being so unpredictable I’d have offered him some water or food but I just closed and locked the door. He banged on the door for another 15 min or so before getting bored and leaving. I didn’t call the cops or anything. I have a 2 1/2ish foot aluminum tee ball bat near my door though but I’ve never even had to consider grabbing it before.

I have an anxiety disorder and semi regularly think that there is a burglar in my home. My strategy is always: stay in my room, make little sounds so that the burglar knows I’m home and awake, wait for them to leave so I can feel safe again. Of course there’s never actually a burglar. But I think it’s idiotic to seek for confrontation that could lead to someone dying over some personal items.

The best security measure is to put explosives in the wall, like that house in Virginia. Even the cops couldn't get in

They're almost certainly pro-home invasion if the home invaders are cops or troops.

I own guns for self defense, but I’m not really scared of a home invasion. If it ever did happen they’re obviously here to steal a tv or some tools or something which is fine, but if it escalates farther than that you’re gonna get got.

Not personally no, but we did gave a door to door security system salesman try and sell us on the fact that a "crime wave was moving into our area" like it was some sort of high pressure front, we laughed in his face.

My girlfriend's aunt had a break-in while she was home. Her family got interested in guns after that. I already had guns, because I grew up in the country where we shot guns for fun and I moved to a neighborhood where I heard lots of gunfire in anger. It's tragic that the working class is pitted against each other in this terrifying way, but that's life in the capitalist shitscape. Of course right wingers take it too far, they don't hate anyone more than other working-class people. Now I have Minecraft guns just in case a revolution pops off in Minecraft. Under no pretext!

My neighbors who are obsessed with home invasion, and own guns to deter such a threat, also leave their huge Ford F150s unlocked with the key in the ignition. Like last year (?) a group of people took the cars and went on a joyride, dropping the cars back off in the morning (they know this because they have one of those ring cameras or something). They blame "gangbangers" from the poc majority city that's like at least half an hour away by highway for this.

1. I don't understand how someone so concerned about home invasion can leave their car not only unlocked, but with the keys just sitting there in the ignition

2. yeah I'm sure Black people living a half hour down the highway are coming to some horrible little suburban wasteland (and not the equally horrible suburban wastes located much closer to the city, nor just going to the wealthier areas of said city) to take your car for a joyride for a single night. It was absolutely just local high schoolers. I say that as someone who not only finds the "gangbanger" thesis absurd, but as someone who was also a local high schooler at one point and knows what these kids get up to.

Chuds are losing trust in law enforcement ever since Jan 6th and I’m here for it lmao

If people are so worried about home security why don't they just get a big dog
