Put a 22 rifle out with firing pin removed on the porch as bait.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Just got update, perp is within 1.5 miles of my place with lots of cover. Says dude is a known thief, too. Sheriff will be active all night in area. And this is why we should've bought thermal instead of ARs 7, 8, 9, and 10.... Even better if you've a thermal-equipped drone. But seriously, good luck. I hope the criminal is caught quickly, and that your family is not bothered further. |

Whatever you’re best with at ranges typical to your homestead.
For me, that’s either my CCW pistol, which is easy to have on me all the time, or a Remington 870 Police Magnum, which is not as convenient. |

Banana hammock and cast iron pan (use regular steel at your peril). Back field where he presumable has to go through has lawn gnomes filled with tannerite. At first sighting (if there is any, hopefully not) "Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to work we go" on an outside PA speaker and a revolver in your off hand for shooting the gnomes.

Quoted: Local felon on the run in my area. Sherriff has perimeters set up, and ghetto bird circling. Long creek nearby that's dry and lots of pasture, so it's easier for this guy to evade. Pistol, rifle, or shotgun at the ready should the dumbass try to crash your property? We've only had this happen twice when we lived in the city (and it was a fairly quiet area, oddly enough).. We both had our pistols and I got the shotgun and sat it by the chair I was sitting in (this was close to 17 years ago). Now, I'd get the AR |

As big of a fan of the venerable AR as I am, I think I’d opt for a high-capacity 9 on my hip and a scattergun fed with buckshot. I’m protecting my 20 yards of urban lot at most, so I don’t need distance beyond that.

When this happened last year, I considered my options. The setting was known to likely be several hours. Residential neighborhood. I wanted to be able to walk around the house yet heavily armed. But comfortable.
I choose the Steyr AUG. It has 5.56 Power with a 30 round magazine. Being a smooth sided bullpup, it BoarderPatrol hangs vertically on my right side, and the left side of the gun is smooth, and the pistol grip and trigger are positioned directly where the hand drops down, allowing quick hip shoot engagement capability, and one handed shouldering and aimed fire. The safety is naturally put on safe by being pressed against the right side of my body, as an additional safety component of the deployment. I put a laser on it, to allow aimed hip fire shots if needed, or I can draw it up to my shoulder and fire aimed shots. I did not choose a handgun because encounters could have been as far as 50 yards. I did not chose an AR15, because it does not as effectively hang with the trigger as quickly accessible, as a weight-balanced AUG did. And the AUG is shorter enough that in CQB, I can still have my support hand free and close enough to door knobs to engage while the rifle is shouldered and pointed though it. After 3 hours walking around doing my normal evening at the house, they caught him several blocks away. |
