House Clearing..Do You Do It?
About a week or two ago I came home from work and had a weird/odd feeling when I entered my home. Knowing that the little lady was at work, I drew my pistol and proceeded to "clear" the house. It was all good in the hood but, I learned a few things I would like to share.
First, we have way too many mirrors! Mirrors can be helpful to look around corners or different areas without actually being in that area but, they also can give your possition away to a perp hiding. Second, in a split floor plan with the front door in the center......which dirrection do you clear first considering either way will put your back towards one of the areas...?... I chose to clear the kitchen/dining area first as it was a smaller room/s. Then proceeded to clear the bedrooms and baths. I did find it difficult to pie the main living room because, it is an "open" area as soon as you enter the house. So, I have evaluated my floor plan and came up with what works best my my situation. I quess my point in this post is to find out if anyone practices clearing rooms or their entire house from time to time? I never did but, after this experience I will. Always follow gun safety rules, especially if their are others around. Lets hear your opinions/experiences in house clearing..

If my three dogs are acting normal when I drive up, I have nothing to worry about. If there is anything amiss they'll let me know exactly where to look. God, I love dogs!!!

No I don't worry about that. I had a instance a few years ago that the wife forgot to close the gate and garage door. I got back to the house after the neighbor called me and let me know. I parked my truck and started walking up to the house with my LCP in hand. Walked around the house and noticed nothing was a miss looking inside the windows. Thats when I decided to go and close everything up and get back to work. Otherwise I would have called the PBSO if I saw anything strange in the house and waited blocking the driveway with my truck.
Then I bought a good holster for the 1911 and ended up selling the LCP.
