[@tienmou68]

Back in college the apartment I was in had an invasion. One roommate heard the door getting kicked in and confronted the burglars. There were 3 devils. They attacked my roommate viciously. I retrieved my AR which also, stupidly, had only 5 rounds in the magazine. (Never again.) The devils saw the AR and couldn't get out the door fast enough. But one was drunk and went to his pickup and grabbed his 30-30 and returned bellowing "no on pulls a gun on me!" His buds were trying to stop him. But this gave time for the cops to show up. Just as the guy with the lever rifle was coming through my front door again the cops lit him up with a spotlight. Long story short, him and his 2 buds went to jail, charged with felony breaking and entering and assault with grievous bodily injury. They plead guilty and got some serious time. That was in Utah in the 80's. Ever since then, my AR has a full 30 round mag in it.

[@chrischristopher1312]

how many more times have you had to use it in the last 40 years

[@tienmou68]

@@chrischristopher1312 None. But it leans against my nightstand every night, and is locked up in the safe when I head to work. I open carry a Beretta 92F or carry a S&W 642 38 Special concealed when I'm out & about. Held a jackass at bay with the Beretta once when my neighbor called and told me someone broke into my garage. When I pulled up he was in process of removing my garage refrigerator. I ordered him onto his knees and he stayed there till deputies arrived. It's good to be able to take care of things and not be a victim.

[@geekofsteal]

@@chrischristopher1312 Are you implying that he doesn't need it because he hasn't had to use it since then? Because he needed it 40 years ago, and he had it. Only difference now is that he has more than just 5 rounds in the mag, which may have not been enough if his attackers decided to fight instead of flee. You don't stop wearing a seatbelt just because you haven't gotten into a car crash in 40 years. The 41st year could be the year you get into a wreck, but when it happens you can't buckle your seatbelt fast enough to correct your mistake.

[@MeerkatADV]

Pretty decent mule kick from the perp to get the door open. I'm gonna guess he's done that before.

[@stevensmith5503]

Well, when you force a deadbolted door, either the lockset rips out of the door or (more likely) the door jam fails and the bolt rips through the door frame. (You get that failure when the deadbolt is incorrectly installed and does not extend into the stud.) Either way, you don't just give it a little kick and pop it open; it takes a sledge hammer. Yeah, I can break it open, but it'll be spectacular and will wake up the whole place. You'll have 20 of your neighbors calling the police... and the police were never called. The reason *that* door popped open so easily is because it had a device inserted to keep the bolt retracted. Run the tape and watch... you can see it fall as the perp kicks the door. It's staged.

[@MeerkatADV]

@@stevensmith5503 look at the door, the deadbolt is out. The door jam failed at the deadbolt, seriously doubt it's staged. And I've been a cop and done breaching training. Yes it's much easier with a sledge, but these crappy apartment doors aren't tough. You can absolutely mule kick one in a single go, I've done it.

[@stevensmith5503]

@@MeerkatADV Nonsense! That's a steel door. It was sold and installed with the jam. Had the deadbolt been thrown: 1) nobody would have kicked it open from a stationary kick and 2) had they kicked it open, there would have been a BIG shower of splinters; the shock would have resonated through the walls of the building, 20 people would have reported a bomb, and three would have reported a UFO. To kick a door open, you start from 20' to 30' back and get your body moving... and you *really* hope the door gives. You only kick doors open in Hollywood. But, besides the obvious staged antics, the dead give away is that there wasn't ever a police report. Why do you think the local Omaha news isn't carrying any mention of it? They'll tell you if you ask them (I did); they, also, think it's staged. You gun loons would believe *any* damn thing.

[@MeerkatADV]

@@stevensmith5503 Steel door huh? That why you can see the footprint in the door from the guy kicking it? As for the rest of what you said, what a complete load of bullshit. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqrafKeZj9B4b9k go to 40 seconds in and tell that firefighter how he should have gotten a 30 foot run up to boot that door in. I've trained on how to breach various types of doors using everything from a swift kick to det cord, you're so far out of your lane you can't even see the highway from here.

[@alanoxford6219]

@@stevensmith5503 and here we have a pretend expert who thinks that there is some universal security standard for front doors that is actually enforced. cheap apartments with cheap shitty old doors bro. probably installed by the illegal maintenance manager out of old, spare parts. homeowners are stupid and often don't even throw the deadbolt. Go watch a video of cops breaching a door, they use a ram they don't back up and run at it. You anti-gun racists would believe *any* damn thing.

[@caseylocke4474]

The two clicks are the two striker plates for the door's latch and deadbolt falling from the frame and hitting the aluminum threshold. Watch when the door is kicked in and you will see the two plates fall and hit the threshold. You'll notice the clicks have a metallic sound to them and that when the larger striker plate hits the threshold, a very brief metallic reverberation is heard as it bounces then settles.

[@chrishalling8518]

@camjamsdad I saw the door across the hall as well. Then they exit through an exterior door, so I am thinking apartment or townhouse setup. He showed excellent restraint by not firing. The guy was not in the house (apartment, condo, townhouse or whatever) at that moment. He put one foot inside and saw the gun and ran. The guy inside probably knew he couldn't legally take the shot and claim it as defense with him being on the doorstep.

If the safety was on you would have heard ZERO clicks.... it isn't a cap gun, and it isn't a double action revolver... it is a single action semi automatic firearm. Please, educate yourself on common firearms function. It is very important for the safe handling and maintenance of such items.

But I appreciate the info as this was an older post I forgot about. Also his gun May have had the saftey on, and if there is wiggle room in his lower he may have forced as hard as he could to press the trigger, it wouldn’t pull, but it might make a small click if loose enough everytime he tries to pull.
