Home invasion, lessons learned

[cirelaw]

Ten years ago tonight our family were subject to a home invasion. In the middle of the night 2 assultants wearing ski masks broke into our home in Port St Lucie, Florida. Our front door ramed open. Debbie and I were confronted by a black masked man standing at the base of our bed pointing a gun at us no more the 5 feet away demanding money. He grabbed Debbie handbag. Next my son in law tackled the other one and we heard gunshots. Luckily they missed him and wound up with 3 bullets in our entry way! Back then I had all my guns locked up so they were useless! My young Grandson lived with us. Lessons learned now to those who live alone. Now I have two 9mm one in bedroom, one in the other end of the house. I can't describe how helpless you feel while in bed accousted my a masked thug pointing his gun at you and your wife in the middle of the night! Learn from our mistakes. Eric & Debbie.
