PS - I've walked into at least five dwellings before while drunk and on drugs thinking it was my apartment...I'd rather not get shot over stuff like that, choo know mang?
I'm quite glad you didn't. That's an exceptionally dangerous, disrespectful and stupid thing to do. The fact you did it more than once is actually frightening. The fact you did it more than once knowing full well that getting killed could be the outcome is even more baffling. I like you very much and I say this with all the love in the world but, bro - what the hell is wrong with you?
Because in a long stretch of hallway with doors that all look the same, sometimes I'd just be walking not paying attention and have miss-counted the doors and accidentally gone in one early or some shit. Most people round there left their doors unlocked more often than not anyways so it would be me walking in and like a few college aged dudes playing xbox, probably stoned, going "lol sup?" and then usually I'd laugh and be like uh you guys have a good night.
It happened more often when I was drinking at someone else's apartment complex. It only happened like once or twice at my own apartment and they are my neighbors anyways so they knew who I was.
I'd also like to add that I am a very non-threatening looking person. If I walked into your house you would be confused and annoyed, probably not alarmed and scared. I'm just saying.
Some drunk kid got dropped off either as a cruel joke or by accident in my neighbors lawn once. They called the cops and when the cops came and asked if they wanted to press charges, they were basically like "No, just make sure he gets home safely."
A big part of gun ownership is being responsible with your firearm. You first have to identify the threat, since automatically brandishing and discharging a firearm at someone in your home is going to result in you injuring or killing someone you know.
Unfortunately, I cannot condone what you did because like I said, it's rude, dangerous, disrespectful and careless. It's nice that they all happened to be college aged stoners who didn't care, but the last thing I would want to do is scare/alarm some lady or guy or couple or whatever.

Constantinople being the voice of reason, as usual
Yes because everyone who goes into other peoples houses is just doing it by accident, because they are fucked up....no one means any harm....its all just a big misunderstanding.
Most people probably just want stuff. Material things. And no thing is worth a person's life.
Unfortunately, people also have a tendency to rape, maim and possibly kill you during a home invasion. A misconception people make about gun ownership is that a gun is for killing. A gun is for protection. You are supposed to use it as a tool to protect yourself from dangerous people. If worst comes to worst, pull the trigger. Otherwise, it's far more common to use a gun to scare someone off and/or hold them at bay until the police arrive and are able to sort out what's going on.
And, I'm sorry - but everyone who practices home invasions and burglaries does so full well knowing that they may end up injured, killed or arrested. They are the ones who decided that their life was worth less than your belongings, not you.
