Thread: Home defense set up?

100%... your neighbors are the first line of defense. The only good security is layered security. Neighbors, Cameras, Monitored Security, Good doors/frames/locks all have to work together to keep your house as secure as possible.
In the end, if someone is going to break into your house, they will. This is why I keep preaching to my friends/family that don't post on social media that you're currently out in Hawaii for 2 weeks, or backpacking across Europe for a month in real time. Post all that shit when you get home. When your home gets broken into and only certain items are taken, and the bad buys know what they're looking for, it wasn't random.

while 5.56 may look attractive it can easily exit your house and end up in another house, .300blk not so much unless you are firing directly at a window or something of that nature, especially so using vor-tx/tac etc as it is designed for that type of application. I would also stay away from 9mm for HD, specifically because pistol caliber ammo is not designed to immediately stop a human adversary, .300blk and the like are designed to do that just.
Cameras are great, especially if they ding your phone immediately. I use WYZE for a lot of stuff as it works well, some guys I work with use BLINK and it works well for them. Either way, get them and make sure their notifications work quickly. Sometimes this means you need to update or purchase a newer/better/morepowerful router, it's a small price to pay.

Winchester Ranger, Hornady TAP 5.56 ammo, I wouldn't worry about over penetration into another house

Of course they do, they were told so by lawyers that is what they had to do, ergo the standards they have to meet. Which I totally understand for LE use, but for the responsible armed citizen? No way.
Off duty I carry 147gr +p+ underwood flat tips. I can shoot them (and have) through 6 2x4's, which is basically any intermediate barrier that I will come in contact with in my travels off duty. Think any LE PD will allow those? Hell no, there's some lawyer that just got a headache because I even mentioned it.

Nah, our lawyers ask for forgiveness not permission. East coast policing I can see you asking for permission first.

You mentioned TAP, I didn't. I was referring to .300blk barnes Vor-Tac etc, which has a very clear performance history very much unlike TAP.
You also mentioned ranger 9mm, a round designed for LE use.
My mind is very much made up, no amount of conjecture will change reality.

Those 77gr TMK’s would be another good one for HD
Some of the tests I’ve seen, barrier& gel tests. Has these working better then the big name brands.
But I don’t have a shorty anything setup with a light. So the g19 with 124 or 147gr hsts and a handheld Surefire sleep next to me.
