I prefer to keep a large jar of marbles available in the entry room, aoupled with a hard floor, it makes it a bit tricky for an entry team towork properly.. You can probably check out your local crack house for tips on preventing forced entry..there seems to be a constant race between LEO entry tactics and what the drug dealer do to defend themselves.. I might also suggest that you check out Bo Gritz'z SPIKE phase 8 video tape http://www.bogritz.com/products8.html "Perhaps one of most exciting phases and controversial. In Phase 8 you learn Close Quarters Combat (CQC). You'll learn how to identify friend or foe so that you don't shoot a friend. You'll also learn how to clear a room safely and identify a terrorist and hostage." SPIKE 8 also has a good section on room defense. but then who am I to talk. bob's lawyer Vinnie Moscaritolo ------------------ "friends come and friends go..but enemies accumulate." http://www.vmeng.com/vinnie/ Fingerprint: 4FA3298150E404F2782501876EA2146A
