Surviving A Home Invasion: How One Night Made This 2A Influencer A Gun Advocate

Our guest shares her intense and life-changing experience with firearms. Despite growing up in a household with a police officer father, her exposure to guns was limited due to her mother's aversion to them. It wasn't until her husband, an avid shooter and hunter, introduced her to firearms that she began to understand their significance.
However, it was a harrowing home invasion that truly transformed her perspective.
This episode dives into the realities of home defense, the importance of being prepared, and the unexpected ways life can push us to embrace what we once feared.
Tune in for a story of bravery, protection, and the pivotal role of firearms in ensuring safety.

When my parents were first dating, my father showed my mother where his handgun was stored, I think it was a ruger .44 blackhawk. My father went to work, and some robbers saw him leave and broke in to the apartment, my mother grabbed that gun, yelled through the bedroom door that she was armed, and when they continued robbing the place, ignoring her, she fired through the door, scaring them off (not hitting anyone). Who knows what would have happened if she hadn't been armed, but its a baddass moment for my mom. The cops never found the robbers, but lauded her and joked about it.

[@kyze8284]

My grandmother was similar. Middle of the night, heard a weird noise, my dad was in his crib still next to her. She aimed the gun my grandfather bought for her into the dark at the foot of the bed. Before that night she was worried she'd never have the guts to defend herself, home, or my father/her son. After that night, that little switch had flipped. "If they break in, they don't value their lives, I have made my choice already" Teeny woman too, but a bat outta hell if you crossed her. I wish more people would understand breaking in WILL cost them their lives, and that people breaking in do not value their own lives

At the time, I only had a deer rifle (300 savage) and as the door started breaking, the dispacher told me to be sure of my backstop and end the threat. I put a round through the door as the frame splintered. They guys yelled and took off. A couple of hours later, one showed up to the ER with door splinters in his face. The bullet had passed right between the two just below their shoulders. The cops never saw them even though i was on the phone for more than 5 minutes before i shot.

She swept the house like her hubby & son taught her to do with what they equipped her with. She knew every loose board & where everything in the house was so she had the advantage . Thank God that it was just that something fell & no 1 was there. But she was so glad that the men in her life made sure she could if need be take care of herself.

[@authorcharlieboring]

I love this story. When I was 13 years old in the late 1950s in a small West Texas town at about 0445 in the AM, I awakened to here my mother screaming that a man had grabbed her. Apparently she had gone outside to scare what she assumed were dogs from our pet squirrel cage and a man had grabbed her. She was able to break free using a broom as a weapon. After I awoke, I grabbed my .410 shotgun that I used for hunting and ran outside. A large man was there and when he saw me he began to run toward the back of our property where there was my chicken coop, an alley and a plowed field surrounded by a barbed-wire fence. By the time that I got the safety off of the gun, the guy was at the rear of our property and I fired one round at him. I went into the house and got dressed and by that time my father had returned from work to eat breakfast and he called the sheriff. I tracked the man's foot prints to the alley and saw that my shot had blown a hole in the side of my chicken coop and at that moment the guy had varied his run to cross the alley into the plowed field. He had run through the barbed-wire fence and I found small spots of blood, presumably from the barbed-wire injuries. The sheriff arrived and after talking to my dad and mom, he took me aside and told me that if I ever had to shoot at another man, to call him right away because he might have to help me drag the body into the house to prevent having to lock me up.

What a story ….. what a lesson ….. on so many levels

[@MalefaxTheBlack]

Got my first ever pew pew in my early mid twenties (about 17 years ago now) after getting robbed at gunpoint by a crackhead. His plea deal after everything was 15 years as he’d been on a spree for like a week or two.

[@gunzproduction5582]

Great story, great interview all around!!

[@Go69]

Real world example from a SANE lady describing exactly why we NEED gun rights in our favor. This was a great story and needs to be heard.

[@raskolnikovsghost2701]

I heard about a story where the police response time in some of these cities overran with crime was 4 hours. That’s the average… I can’t understand why anyone would not support honest citizens defending themselves.

[@YouTubeHandlesAreMoronic]

This kind of positive-outcome gun use occurs every day.

[@stevenmerlock9971]

Hk USP excellent selection and the Expert st that👍 You never know when the unexpected will happen. Being prepared to respond is critical, your life and others depend on it.

"The cop down the street got his AR15 stolen" Are you serious? Did he just have it laying around?

[@gunblade7610]

I home carry and when people ask why i always say "Because 100% of home invasions happen in thr home" also, it helps practice new carry methods/holsters/clothes without triggering the hoplonphobes

[@robertsandberg2246]

I use my CVA Optima muzzleloader for my home defense. I LOVE that gun.

Hopefully she didn't have USCCA or she's screwed

[@victornewman2215]

What’s the controversy with USCCA?

Attorney's on Retainer for me. I used to be USCCA, but no thanks.

[@reyvynnightveil1706]

I was a veteran and owned guns, but didn't carry for a couple years. Then the Kingston Mall shooting happened, in 2005 while my girlfriend and i were in the Spencer's, just a couple stores away. I always carry or have a weapon in arm's reach now.

[@Rickman-utz]

Good on her!

[@rodr686]

🙏 to her and her family 💯 💪 to her husband

[@ComfortsSpecter]

I Love how giddy Colion get’s Incredible Vibe Awesome lessons in Human Folly

[@Locke99GS]

Not once in this video, or in the description, did I notice this lady introduced. Title implies in a 2A Influencer? Does she have a channel? Does she have a name? Who is this person?

[@sweetiespoon5150]

Full interview is on this channel.

[@aprilnicolofficial]

That’s me. I have a channel on here, but my most used platform is IG

[@Locke99GS]

@@aprilnicolofficial ahh awesome thanks. Checking your channel out now.

[@keithsafford3056]

@@aprilnicolofficial Awesome interview with Colion. Taught my wife to shoot in 2012. Our daughter was around 9 then and I could see the way the nation was heading (is much worse now). Your husband's Adrenalin was kicking in and yours was also. Good and bad. Practice more as in a high stress situation, your fine motor skills go south. Glad you, your hubby and 6 month old son were ok. If these would have been gangbangers, it may have gone much worse. Loved hearing your story!!

[@DCTONY159]

Some young punks broke into our house about 9 years ago thinking no one was home but my son was in his room when he heard them kick in the back door he grabbed his AK-47 and the rest is history.

[@rd9219]

BAD ASS Story

[@mik1037]

Love it, keep em coming!

[@crbalch1]

Can i have my phone back? After i broke into your house😂😂. Yeah you can get it at the police station tomorrow

[@LAPDAWDV8911]

HE HAD THAT ADRENALINE FLOWING.

[@joserotary9636]

This is why we need to keep our guns, but the ones that are against it it’s all about control not about keeping us safe at all💯👍👍👍

[@garthg.6150]

My wife is a nurse. She had an older patient that lives in a remote area come in. Him and his wife were beaten and robbed. He said he planned on carrying a gun from then on.
