Were I convinced there was someone in the house, I would definitely shout a lot to indicate what I was doing as I go through each room looking to shoot them, I think this would help the situation in the event there was someone there.

Lol " I punched in the code to close the garage door" I'm sure that you did, and then you walked away without confirming that it closed all the way. Something probably interrupted the sensor to make sure that it doesn't crush anything, like a leaf or a bit of dust if the drat thing is over sensitive. I've seen garage door openers take two or three tries to close. But I'm sure the more likely explanation is that somebody invaded their home to steal their custom engraved " live laugh love" sign from the kitchen

I believe this is something that gun owners are actually told to do to avoid confrontation, oddly enough (yell that you’re there, you’re armed, and give them they chance to flee, to be clear). Apparently nearly everyone looking to rob a house is desperate to not get caught/be seen (I assume this is true) so most people will just cut and run if they realize someone is there, and if a trained assassin is there to murder you, you’re probably dead either way.

Sure, but if he's just going around being tacticool and yelling clear to the rest of his non existent team because that's what they do in the movies, that's not really "if you run away I won't shoot you" as much as "giving the indication that I am going to shoot you and also telegraphing where I am so that you have advance warning" It seems like the worst of both worlds.

Yeah robbers like to target empty buildings because the goal is to steal stuff and not be shot or arrested. You don't need a gun, just showing up deters most. You also shouldn't shoot people over your tv and wedding ring imo but

I've definitely seen multiple near-identical permutations of 'my ex-military husband saw signs of a breakin and went military protecting us from nothing, isn't that cute/great'. Either that happens a lot, or it's becoming a stock story that military wives tell on social media regardless of truth. ...I'm worried that both of these are equally plausible.

"Military Wife" as a specific thing, distinct from "married someone who at some point was in the military," is 100% a character some sad people get into to be interesting. Constantly talk about your badass husband, own a pink pistol, use every TLA you can think of. I may or may not be describing my cousin's ex-wife and the reason they divorced. As a general rule the more someone loving loves being a badass military vet and regrets nothing, the further they were from The poo poo. Combat veterans don't talk about it and mostly regret and hate the service. Exception for stuff like SEALs which deliberately select for glory-seeking psychopaths. That's how you get a  movie about a guy who wrote in his own autobiography about how much he wanted to shoot little kids in Iraq.

My experience and time in the Navy would corroborate this. A person's actual experience with firearms and tacticool operations in the military are inversely proportional to how much they talk about that poo poo. I remember in basic training we would often chit chat about what advanced training people had chosen and what rate they were going for and there were always people who claimed that they were going to be special forces. In many cases it was obvious they were not in shape enough for that training. I guess they didn't know that they announce everyone's orders and schools at the end of training, so it was funny to see Seaman "Ima go to special forces" have their orders to culinary school read aloud and their face turn bright red.

Just going to take the opportunity to poo poo on a former Navy dude I worked with on a non-profit who would try to swing his dick around and challenge me in front of others by talking about his "combat experience" when every single thing about his expertise (boat mechanics) and post-service career (Human Resources) indicated that his combat experience amounted to being told by his superiors that they had entered "hostile waters" once or twice and given an all-clear a few hours later. Dude stole everything he could from the org that wasn't nailed down and tried to go into business for himself, which went about as well as you'd expect.

If you enter what is considered a "combat zone", regardless of actual level of danger or amount of conflict, you get some tax benefits and it shows up on your earnings statement. Most of the Persian Gulf area counts as a combat zone so it was quite common for all the Navy ships to swing by there if they could while on deployment. If you spend one day of a month in a combat zone the entire month is tax free and any re-enlistment bonuses awarded are tax free during the time. So it was common for the CO to order the ship into the area on the 30th/31st and then leave on the 1st so you would get two months tax free pay and it would also encourage people to re-enlist, because some of the re-enlistment bonuses were up to 100k, so the tax free incentive was a huge carrot to dangle to convince people to re-enlist.

This got me for 1/8th of a second. Not that the law or whatever maybe be true. But that I should google search Biden rule 34, to read/see how stupid this person was to misinterpret the actual wording. But as I internally repeated the entire phrase, "-ation rule 34-34...-thirty... four... fouur..four... fouuuurrrr" echoing in my mind, it clicked, and I stopped myself from a horrifying google search, and got to get the joke.

I'm afraid they're actually serious about that. I don't like to think of myself as a bigot, but it's become apparent that the "rights" we give to the LGTBQ+ community are merely a smokescreen to hide their growing radicalization. It's not enough for them to be allowed t9 have free expression -- they're trying to make it so they can force their beliefs onto us. What's worse is that both parties are encouraging this for their own ends: Democrats allow it because it makes them look more progressive, and Republicans are discreetly allowing it because it gives them a prefext to further curtail our rights as American citizens. However, there is another political group growing in number and influence that recognizes the unbalance of the system and will use policies from both sides of the aisle to restore the balance we had in the past so we can work toward a more stable, equitable future. If you're interested in joining the movement, you can find more materials about them by googling the Bipartisan Alliance to Restore America, or "BARA" for short.
