JohnnyB 4,326 Posted July 12, 2019 I see something very wrong with this story.....Two animals survived! IMHO the AR15 platform is the BEST home defense weapon! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sniper 6,372 Posted July 12, 2019 Another interesting piece to this story was that many people have said, to be protected from when the zombie hordes come, you need to live rural and off the beaten path. This guy lived in a mobile home on 20 heavily wooded acres with a 300 foot dirt driveway, and the zombie hordes still found him... looks like that cover didn't work out so well... Maybe he needs a few BIG dogs, besides the AR15... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've always thought it was "6 of one, half-dozen of the other" - meaning sometimes isolation is a good thing, but at other times - I guess no one nearby to hear your screams isn't such a good thing! I'm also a big fan of dogs as ONE part of a security plan. Even a tiny, alert dog (though posing no physical threat to an intruder) is capable of giving an "early warning" that can be helpful to a homeowner.

If someone is buying remote property for that purpose, they are probably well aware they will never be immune to such a situation.. All that does is add a buffer to your situation. People living remotely almost exclusively know that they have to depend on themselves for security, and that they are more vulnerable, not less, when society is otherwise functioning. The report said the guys had guns with them, so i dont really see dogs doing much here either. I am curious why 4 guys rolled up on a mobile home in the middle of nowhere, armed like they were about to rob fort knox. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The dogs, if anything, give you an advanced warning. Many of these guys with the "dark tans" don't like big dogs to start with, so they could have been a deterrent. In any event, even if the dogs get shot, they keep the bad guys from getting all the way to your bedroom, by giving advanced warning and give you a head start for self defense. This is exactly what I'm training my pup to do, be the first line of defense. 52 minutes ago, Mrs. Peel said: I'm also a big fan of dogs as ONE part of a security plan.

Could be damn near anything really. Maybe the guys neighbor a half mile down the road is a dealer and these guys got the wrong gravel road going into the woods trying to rob the dealer. Maybe they are the kind of scum that don't care if they got $5 or $50,000 and were just breaking into places far away from police attention. Maybe the dude in the hospital who shot them owed them money, drugs, etc. Maybe they wanted someplace with water, electricity and a toilet to cook some meth for a few weeks and were going to lock him up or kill him to do so. Maybe they were the drug dealers next door, a half mile down the road, and they wanted to make sure the dude in the hospital didn't ever call the cops on them again. Maybe the guy offended them at a local bar/club/whatever and they found where he lived and were going o teach him a lesson. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is a post in the r/progun sub on reddit from the neighbor’s son. He said the perpetrators targeted this guys house because of a Craig’s list ad and they knew he had guns and marijuana. He also said it was 300 yards from the gate to his house. AR was prob the perfect SD platform for that environment. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
