Heard from my son that his ex-house mates in Vincennes were the victim of a home invasion last night. From what he heard, at around 8:30, someone knocked on the front door. When one of the guys went to answer it, four guys with at least one gun pushed their way in. They held the folks in the house at gunpoint, making them lay on the floor, while they grabbed their wallets. When one of the guys was found with only about $5 on him, they threatened to 'cap' him right there for holding out and discharged a round into the floor near him. It's not known whether or not the discharge was a mistake or an attempt to intimidate him though.
The four took off before the police got there and have not been caught. The thing that scares the hell out of me was that if my son had been attending the spring semester, he would have been there and would have been carrying. He always carried in the house, but let nobody else there know he even had a weapon. As it was, he came back to Indy since their flight program had been moved away from Vincennes. I hate to think what would have happened if he were there with his PF9 as his only defense.
This reinforces our decision to carry in the home, but it also has made the need for training even more critical. Since leaving Vincennes, he has been carrying a full size CZ 75 in place of the PF9. Both of us need to get serious about training. He was lucky in terms of timing this time around, but if there's a next time, we need to rely on skill, not luck.

as a low growl. The person, thanked me and walked back to his truck. I'm not saying the guy wasn't legit but now he knows there is a huge dog here and it will not tolerate any foolishness.
