I'll be honest, a break-in I experienced was 5 people trying to use overwhelming force. 4 big dudes with knives, 1 big woman with a gun. A gun with a high-capacity, decent caliber, and some range capability would've been nicer than trying to hide my sister and wounded roommate in a bathroom while I guarded with a cheap machete until the police arrived. Luckily the woman had no aim and missed my roommate as he ran for his life with a large stab wound in his liver. I don't expect that to occur again, but I'd rather be prepared if it does. It isn't fun watching someone bleed out who didn't deserve it.

Tactical shotgun firing order- Buck shot Buck shot Bird shot Buck shot knockdown slug Thats the order you deal out to those morons breaking in.

[@iateuranium-235forbreakfas7]

I’m curious, why did they break in?

[@Elthenar]

As a former thug, I can second everything this man said. The 3-5 man crew coming at your house is only going to happen if you are a prime target. Someone who is known to have lots of cash or jewelry, like a drug dealer, a jewelry shop owner, something like that. Those people are looking for target that they can hit fast, take lots of small and easily liquidated goods and get out in a hurry. The much more common threat is the burglar he mentioned, that jealous ex or someone else with a personal axe to grind. Maybe the guy down the street who thinks you called the cops because his stereo was too loud. Maybe he thinks your dog pooped in his yard. There are a million possibilities, which is partly why it's so much more likely than getting hit by a crew Another prime security tip is to get motion lights and sensors on your doors and windows that make some noise. If someone breaks a window to get in and they hear something start beeping, they are going to haul ass most of the time before you ever need to get a weapon. It's the same principle as the dog, if with a bit less teeth. A point to add about the revolvers, they are great because they can be stored forever and still work. You don't have to worry about a magazine spring getting weak and failing to load, or the hammer spring failing. If you get a dead round, just keep pulling the trigger and you will get shots off. Those revolvers really are about as reliable as guns get.

[@PaulHarrell]

Good info.

[@gf4rce]

Thanks

[@damanyocum149]

Well said...spoken of experience

[@tpuukko4424]

Elthenar Revolvers are reliable and pulling the trigger again in case of hypothetical dud round will work but the dud might fire later... then the whole gun might blow up. Some revolvers might cope better with this than others but generally, wait 15 seconds with a dud or something like that to be safe, if possible.

I have a German Sheppard, but a 3am when the dog goes nuts what do you do? You grab a bat or gulfclub and go see what's wrong. If the intruder has a gun or even knife the dog doesn't work well. The dog wakes me up, I get the gun.

The dangerous chemicals in the house advice is so freaking important. My niece's friend (6 years old girl) went to visit a friend. The hosting mother at some point said she is going to the shop and be back in less than 10 mins. The two little girls then decided to shampoo their hair. The host girl picked a bottle in the bathroom and poured the liquid on the hair of my niece's friend and within seconds she started screaming in pain. It turned out that the bottle was an acid drain cleaner. It burned her scalp, face, and chest. She has had many surgeries but it still shows. Please be cognisant of what chemicals you have at home.

I wonder if I had let it sit longer if it would start to burn *I know nitric does! And no, I wasn't a sloppy chemist, I just had a habit of holding beurettes and staring at my expiriment.

I’ve only heard of the “racking the slide.” Deterrent working once. When my Uncle was on the Highway patrol he was chasing a car in the middle of the night, the car had spun out and crashed into a ditch and the suspect had jumped out and started running through a field. My Uncle apparently not wanting to chase the guy in the dark grabbed his shotgun from the rack as he was exiting his patrol car and jumped on the hood of the suspect’s vehicle and racked the pump. The Suspect surrendered almost instantly, dropping to the ground like a sack of potatoes. I believe the deterrent worked in that instance because the guy was trying to flee instead of fight, if it had been the other way around I’m sure it would of been a different story.

Chaining a dog in the backyard and interacting with it only to feed and water it daily... is like solitary confinement for these incredibly social creatures. I have no problem with “outside dogs”, but they need a fence (and at least two dogs as a pair can be much happier) if the owner doesn’t have time to really exercise them.

I'd recommend using a flame thrower, if a house attacks you you'll need fire to damage its support beams. Wrong kind of home defense?

When my friend's father was alerted to the threat, he grabbed a shot gun and did the "rack the slide deterrent" which worked.The burglars freaked out and scrambled. One went out the front door and one went out the back. No one was harmed, but we were all traumatized.

It's not really the racking sound that's "scary". The shotgun is what's scary and the racking can make the intruders notice that they are in a big trouble if they don't scurry off immediately. Personally I would not want to be on the receiving end of some 12 gauge buckshot if I was a burglar.

"Drop safe" is important. My father's best friend was hunting with a group of guys.

Was doing a security survey on a private residence for a wealthy client a few years back and I told them that one of the bad things people do is leave ladders lying around for a burglar to use to access a second floor window which is less likely to be alarmed that a first floor window. The couple, in unison, looked out the kitchen window and there was an extension ladder leaning up against the garden house out back. Then the wife informed me that she was never worried about threats because her husband is a very large man which he was; about 6'4 and stocky. A moment later she left the room and the husband, a business CEO, looked at me and said; "I've never been in a physical confrontation in my entire life". and just shook his head.

I remember one video... it's a very very big youtube gun channel, and the man was bashing on every single gun law and mandatory safety feature out there. One of his arguments against grip safeties was that if he was in a gun fight and he got badly injured in both hands and was unable to hold the pistol regularly, with a grip safety he couldn't hold the pistol upside down with his remaining fingers and fire the gun in self defense... he then proceeded to demonstrate this weird imaginary grip he might have to use one day to save his life. Or another argument for 30 round magazines was what if your house gets attacked by over 10 armed people at once? A 10 round magazine is not nearly enough and you'll definitely need all of those 30 rounds in case 15 armed robbers attack your house... I felt embarrassed just watching it

I think the Cx4 Storm is the perfect representation of Paul's firearm sensibilities. Based on appearance alone, it doesn't look like his kind of gun at all.

However, he's practical enough that he won't eschew a gussied up gun when it legitimately has all the functions he needs. He doesn't care what it looks like and he doesn't care what anyone thinks of him using it. He just wants the best tool for the job.

One thing I'd add is you can also reinforce your strike plates to your locks. If you go to your doors and take out the screws to the strike plates, they're puny and only go into the molding. If you get a 3 to 3.5" screw that will dig into the stud, you have made your door a lot harder to kick in. Not impervious but a big difference since you're now marrying up the plate to the stud in the frame. Even if it doesn't prevent your door being kicked in, it will create enough noise to alert you and give you more time to get your defense weapon and prepare to defend yourself.

At least he's using his experience very productively, giving people like us a better understanding of his thought processes after going through that so that we can better prepare for anything similar. He's very valuable in that regard, I don't know of any other guntuber that was personally in a defense situation.

[@ExFed2021]

So true about dogs. I probably took 500 burglary reports as a young police officer, but I only remember 2 in which the homeowner had a dog.

[@ayeyobossman6151]

I like how he says halt. You've committed crimes against Skyrim and her people, what say you in your defence?

[@Daekstor]

Stop! You violated the law. Pay the court a fine or serve your sentence. Your stolen goods are now forfeit.

Until his luck runs out and he comes across a more skilled assailant, or his own error causes his own death. None-the-less, the majority of US property owners are safer by not owning firearms than by owning firearms.

This video perfectly sums up the simple genius of Paul Harrell. The videos are not overly produced, Paul uses a very basic and straightforward vocabulary which makes getting his points across very easy, his life experiences, especially that of his time serving in the military make every nuance of what he presents have some weight behind to make them stick and he just cuts to the chase and keeps the video straight to the point. Also as an added bonus is that every point he tries to get across does not only apply to firearms and firearm safety but they also can be taken in the context of life. Just like that guns are not toys, life is not a one big game. Sure there are moments in there where you’re having fun out on the range with your buddies for a day of target shooting and you get to have fun moments in life, but at the end of the day, guns are still tools that needed to be treated with respect and can end with some devastating consequences otherwise just to at the end of every day, you still have to get up and work to make a living and pay your bills. It’s just how it is and it perfectly sums up Paul’s videos to me. I personally do not care for guys like the demolition ranch and FPSRussia where it’s all about making a show out of shooting guns where to Paul, you can take a life lesson and valuable information out of it and for that I’m here to stay!

I worked for an armored car company and they quit letting guys use long guns. A lot of the older trucks had buckshot damage to the interior of the windows, because guys were driving around with chambered shotguns and when they fell over they'd go off in the truck.

They needed better training. We always had long guns.

"Mean as a marshmallow" & "Tough as tapioca" ...now that's freakin hilarious. I rescued a pitbull from a shelter. She'd been there for over a year because she's totally deaf and can't see past 20 feet. She's sweet and kind ...the perfect companion for my Autistic son. Home defense wasn't my priority. The funny thing is that she has a reputation in the neighborhood as a 'scarry dog' and i live in a rougher part of Phoenix Az. Why is this? ...Because when shes out in the fenced and gated front yard and people try to call to her she simply doesn't respond, yet they've seen her follow my commands through hand gestures (short distance) and come to my call (using a buzz collar when I do so). As you said. Most criminal types are looking for the most payoff with the least risk. If you deter their plans by defeating them psychologically, you greatly reduce the danger/trouble/expense of having to do it through force. Your videos bring a fresh breath​ of reason and common sense that is needed and appreciated. Thank you and keep it up.

Addendum, up side to a deaf dog ...no fear of vacuums. In fact, she likes being cleaned with the dustbuster.

He shot a drunk guy at a campground that was driving a pickup at a car his wife was behind.

[@TLOPOCaleb]

did he talk about this in a video?

[@nickuva6508]

TLOPO Caleb just Google Paul Harrell camp site shooting. Him and his wife were camping an there was a group of guys at the same site. The guy he shot came over an asked if Paul wanted to goto the bar and Paul turned him down politely and there were no hostilities according to him an witnesses. The drunk guy got in his truck and drove through Paul's camp site and then headed towarsa Paul's car which his wife was behind after using the bathroom. He shot 4 rounds at the driver and mortally wounded him. Paul got out on bail and the case ruled in his favor of self defense, but they did initially try to slam him with first degree murder.

[@jackvernian7779]

Mr Anderson you first look at what you have in front of you, which is severe: Paul murdered a human. And after that, you work your way up to gather all the details and lessen the accusation as you get new information through the investigation. I think it was just that initial charge was murder in the first degree.

[@jshepard152]

@@jackvernian7779 And the followup charge was manslaughter. It was the grand jury that freed him, not the damn cops nor DA.
