MRW when I hear footsteps outside my window at 12:30 AM

Dec 1, 2016 12:39 AM

I am a twnety-nine year old female that lives alone and I heard footsteps outside my bedroom window (Side of the building where the water heaters and utility meters are located). My cat instantly jumped up and ran to the window to see who was outside. I ran to the kitchen to grab my car keys (My car is parked right next to my kitchen window). I locked my car about 2-3 times to create some noise. I then ran back to my room and laid in bed with a bat for almost 30 minutes.

I have never been so freaked out before in my life.

Handguns give piece of mind. Though bats to the head are very effective too. Sorry you were scared op.

Time for a gun. If someone did decide to break in a bat prolly isn't gonna do the trick.

That's right. If I'm going down I'm going down guns a blazing.

Tip I heard keep your keys on your nightstand so you can hit the panic button if someone comes into your house. Me I keep my gun there.

Thank you for the suggestion. I tested out my fob and it sets off the alarm from my room. I've been looking into getting a shotgun.

Shotguns the best because you dont have to aim and usually only have to shoot once. Just make sure you take lessons if you havent :)

What the hell is a panic button?

Panic button on your car keys is the button that sets your car alarm off.

Most key fobs have a "panic" button that sets off the alarm
