Derek's Story: Protecting His Family and Home

February 05, 20232 min read

Once upon a time, there was a family who lived in a nice neighborhood. They had always felt safe in their home, but one day, they heard about a string of burglaries happening in the area. The family decided it was time to take action and protect themselves and their home.

The father of the family, Derek, did some research and decided the best way to defend their home was to purchase a gun. Derek and his wife, Hannah, took my Florida Concealed Class and Beginners Guide to Firearms courses to learn how to properly handle and store a firearm.

One night, while the family was sleeping, they heard someone trying to break into their home. Derek quickly grabbed his gun and went to investigate. As he approached the front door, he saw shadowy figures attempting to pry it open with one foot in the doorframe. Derek shouted for the intruders to leave, but they didn't listen.

Feeling threatened, Derek fired his gun in the direction of the burglars entering his home. The intruders quickly fled the scene. The family was shaken but safe, thanks to Derek's quick thinking and legal use of his weapon.

The police were called and arrived shortly after. They took a report and the neighborhood was alerted to be on the lookout for the burglars.

From then on, the family felt much safer in their home knowing that they had a means of protecting themselves if needed. Derek kept his gun locked up and made sure everyone in the family knew how to use it safely. They slept peacefully knowing they were prepared for any eventualities.

Be like Derek, know owning a gun is a serious responsibility and should be used only as a last resort in a dangerous situation and it should be used only by people who are trained in its proper use and storage.
