I have. It's the reason why I became a proud gun owner.
After undergrad I did a lot of traveling and lived mostly by myself with a huge network of friends. For about a decade, I wasn't in one location for more than 2 years. Never really had an issue anywhere overseas.
Then I settled and became a teacher. Moved into a nice little apartment neighborhood in the US. A lot of older couples at first. Stayed for a year and no issues. Around the second year, I woke up and noticed that the deadbolt of my apartment had been dented like somebody had tried to kick in my door.
I called the cops and filed a police report. They filed it as a human invasion attempt b/c it was done at night when they knew I was home.
Luckily I lived on a high floor with a narrow balcony and they couldn't get enough force to kick it all the way in without falling off.
I was shook for a long time and some friends would come and spend the night with me but eventually I got tired of living in fear.
The second incident happened when I came back from hanging out with my friend and my door was covered in white handprints like someone had dipped their hands in paint and hit my door multiple times.
At this point I'm just mad b/c I'm tired, working 12 hrs a day as a teacher and masters student. Can't sleep, nervous, anxious, depressed.
Woke up and tires were flat.
So a good male friend from out of town stayed with me until my lease ended for a month and I moved.
Bought a 12 gauge and a 9 mm and I practice at the range. Got a English mastiff/boxer mix and now I sleep fine.

The thing about me is fear has an extinction limit at a certain point for me. After a while I get tired of it and when I get to that point I don't give a damn anymore. Live or die I can't spend my life looking over my shoulder. Whatever the case may be, if you gon take me out it is what it is. But once I get to that point, I don't want to survive...I wanna kill too b/c I feel justified. So I take all precautions but I was A okay blowing a head open like a ripe pumpkin if it came to it.
It can go from
