I preferred the original Red Dawn version by John Milius.

I do not home carry, as my area is pretty idyllic and has lots of dogs to alert the neighborhood to strangers.

Yeah, the new Red Dawn was shit. My friend who was part of the production said that the original antagonists were supposed to be Chinese, but China got all butt hurt and they had to do an emergency change of script and production to make the antagonists Korean. If you examine the Korean logos, you might be able to see the paint job over the PRCs logo.


I still carry even though we have the same alert system. There have been too many cases over the past few weeks of people trespassing or monitoring my  neighborhood, so I'd rather be prepared when I go to inspect, rather than assume I don't need it and then need it.

Better to rely on yourself then depend on others. You only get one life. Paranoid? No. You never know when an elephant might come running down the street Or some nut job might stab you while your enjoying your nature walk.

Amen to this.
 I don't  wear my holster in the house at all times but have it close.  If I go outside at night to check something out, I put it on.  When sleeping my pistol is about 2' from the bed along with a cell phone and Fenix PD35 flashlight.   My plate carrier is also close by.
My bedroom is my designated safe room.
