Makes me think of Cassius Clay, guy from the late 1800s who defended his home at the age of 89 with a pistol and a knife. And had a home defense cannon just because.
Tally-ho!
Once a sheriff was sent to arrest clay in his 80s with 5 deputies.
Sheriff returned to judge and said he couldn't complete the arrest and wouldn't try again without 100 armed national guardsman.
Yep because clay used his home defense cannon to convince them to leave lmao
Muhammad Ali wouldn't even need a pistol or knife to make me run away screaming.
I think Ali was named after the 1800s guy.
Correct
Firearms are the great equalizer.
Yeah it equalizes your chances of killing your family by mistake to roughly the same as a home invader killing them.

Only if you know how to use them and practice regularly. And even then ...
"God created men, Colt made them equal"
The plan: shoot first.
See Peter Khill.
Real big gravy seal energy (out of shape home defense) or tech bro (I’m prepared for a hypothetical end of the world and deluded myself I will live) energy.
The plan: Gun.
Attrition via bullets.
Homeowner: Entrenched with lord knows how much ammo, as much as they can store, and knows their house's layout and choke points.
Attacker(s): Only brought what they can carry. Likely 1-2 mags each. Fog of war in an unknown house.
Place your bets now ladies and gentlemen.
Okay cowboy
Yippie ki-yay.
Gun nuts are hilarious. Guy breaks into you house at 3am. Wait, let me go down to the basement gun cabinet..shit forgot the keys...ok, got the gun, loaded it, intruder didn't see or hear anything, wait...forgot the hearing protection so I don't go deaf after the first shot..
The don't show people going deaf on TV or using proper gun storage required by law.
Meanwhile me with a suppressed 300 blackout SBR AR simply tucked out of view in my room in a state with no storage laws and no kids who could find it: "Yee-fucking-haw, choke point is the stairs boys come on up."
Won't wake up the neighbors, might wake up the cats (but only because they'll wake up before I even shoot. Som'bitch is quiet but cats are cats and the break/entry will be loud enough before I even stand up.)
I always think of Bill Burr talking about home invasions, and he's like if you need one just get a pea shooter. You don't need an automatic weapon that will shoot a hole through the perp, your daughters room, and your neighbors dog. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaLTWW_yEG4
That's why all these home invasion victims are getting gun charges. Then of course, police know home invasions are rarely not targeted because of some criminal activity.
In your own home you dont really need a solid plan, you just need to be willing enough to really fuck up another human being. In the heat of the moment, quite a lot of us are inclined to show restraint and mercy where we would receive none.
