Episode #2: Safe At Home Cont'd- part 2
Having shown the basics for preparing yourself against home invasion last week, Michael Bane, Mike Janich and Rob Pincus take home defense to the next level. What should you consider when firing a gun in your home at an intruder? If you fire a gun inside your home, how far will certain bullets penetrate into other rooms? What other weapons can you look into to defend yourself inside your house? These questions, along with many others, are answered by our experts..

Marshal, you're such a tease.  ;D

Another hobby to add to my list is "Waitin' on Wednesday".

Really looking forward to the discussions after this episode as well... Every time we put the penetration demo out on DVD or a TV Segment, it gets a lot of attention. People aren't always comfortable with the results... but the physics are amazingly consistent!  ::)

Rob,
Are you talking specific examples of bullet penetration of objects?
If so you just bumped up my anticipation level again. A few months ago, while I was assisting with a firearms safety training course, we did a penetration demonstration. We ranged from .22 to .50 BMG (a range member has a bolt action Barrett...wow what a rifle) to demonstrate just what a bullet can do to things. We were trying to drive home the point of muzzle directional awareness.

Thanks.

Specifically, we are going to demonstrate some typically chosen home defense loads and what could happen in terms of penetrating drywall wall sections if you were to miss your intended target inside of a typical western construction home.

My guess is you'll show hollowpoints, once plugged with drywall, act as ball ammo and will easily go through interior walls, out the siding of your house, into the siding of your neighbor's house and possibly through several layers of their drywall as well. This assumes no 2x4s intervene of course.

I have heard 55gr .223 is better in this regard in that it doesn't overpenetrate as much as handgun ammo despite (or because of) its higher energy.

FYI
Unfortunately, we had some audio problems with our 4:00PM eastern broadcast. This is corrected, so the 7:30PM and 11:00PM airing will be fine.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

M thanks for the heads up. I thought my recorder got fried or something. I'll put it into record mode for the next session! :)

I saw this episode tonight ans wish I had seen last week's. I will set my vcr to tape the shows and show them to friends and loved ones that I feel need this kind of education.
I strongly encourage everyone to tell others about this show. You cannot get too much education. As a police officer and firearms instructor I liked what I saw tonight. Please keep up the great work!

Our goal is to get that information out to as many people as possible, because we all truly believe it is a matter of life or death!!!
