I once had a sheriff’s deputy come to my house for a security inspection. I mentioned that I had replaced the striker plates screws with 3.5” ones in the of both my front door and bedroom door, which I lock at night. If someone comes into my house, that will give me time to crawl out my window and call for help. He said “Don’t do that! Florida is a stand-your-ground state!” 😡
I don’t know about you gun owners, but I could never live it down if I killed someone who was just a thief who had never hurt anyone or a neighbor with dementia who wandered into the wrong house.
I find it amazing that so many people are terrified of things that are extremely rare, yet do little to improve their chances of survival for things that happen often. I’m 73 and have never been in a situation where my life was threatened and I needed a gun. I don’t even know anyone who has ever needed a gun. I expect that applies to almost all of you.
Want to increase the odds of having a long life? Put down the phone when you are driving. It’s simple to do and costs exactly nothing.
