shows how the system can be flawed at times.

Unfortunatly any system that has a human component has a big flaw.

God bless that girls family and friends as well as the 911 operator who has to live with what happened.

yeah that sucks....make you wonder some time if you needed to call 911 what kind of person would be on the other side of the phone

People have home insurance, car insurance, life insurance, health insurance, fire extinguishers, first aid kits, emergency flares, emergency toolkits, cell phones, life alert, etc., but what are YOU gonna do RIGHT NOW if some thug (or more likely, group of thugs) kicks in your door WHILE YOU'RE READING THIS?

Pull the slide and let 3 or 4 .40 hollow point rounds fly in the general direction of their heads! If they are still standing, I'd let go of a couple more to make sure they don't move anymore and grab my other clip to get ready to reload just in case. AFTER that, I'd call 911.

thats why i like the alarm system at my place. you set it and when someone kicks in the door it gives you enough time to rack the gun.

Mine stays loaded in a locked box beside my bed, it takes 10 seconds to open and grab my mini-led flash light. That's the nice part, it lights them up bright as day, and they can't see me to retaliate (sp?).

3 Very large dogs & a loaded remington 870

that flash light idea is really good. dogs are probably one of the best alarm/defense things you can have, not only can they warn but they can defend. i look at it this way once someone forces their way into your home, all bets are off.

1. Alarm system
2. Dogs barking
3. Loaded .357 magnum and 12 gauge

I like the flashlight idea.
Oh, and I aim for center mass.
