Do You Grab Your Gun and Shoot Him?

If someone broke into your home and your kids were sleeping in the next room, what would you do?

A/ Call 911 and sweep the house with your gun, leaving the kids in their rooms.
B/ Grab the kids and place them in a safe area, then confront the intruder with the gun in hand.
C/ Stand your guard in the kids' room and unload on the invader if he comes in; ignoring all the warnings you've shouted.
D/ Call 911 and sweep the house with your gun, but grab the kids and place them in a safe area. If you spot the intruder then confront them.
E/ Option D and try to disarm/defuse the situation.

There are no 'right' answers to this question. If your answer is not close to one of the above, feel free to add it in a reply.

Depends on which State you live in. Here in the stupid state of New York, you shoot'em and go to jail. Lose you house paying for an attorney, spend 5 years in court and maybe, MAYBE, get acquitted.
On the other hand, if you live in a REAL state, you shoot the bastard.
I think you have to use a baseball bat here in n.y.before you can shoot'em.
Me, I'd pull the trigger of my 12 gave as the barrel touched his body. 28" is as close as they can get.

Personally I'd shoot right away. No questions asked.

I will put it this way. No one enters my house after dark unless invited. If they do they will be carried out on a stretcher.

It is impossible to say exactly...it would depend how much time you have,how many intruders,can you see the threat clearly .
what if you get caught in the shower or sitting on the commode...just as in the huddle you can call the play but have options.

We are prepared about as much as we can be - absent having either armed guards or dogs on patrol.. We do have a retired Marine 1st Sgt. who is three houses down from us and we are at the end of a one way road. The marine is like Trump, he does not sleep.

In addition to four closed circuit security cameras and two outside alarm transmitters which activate into our bedroom, both doors have very loud motion alarms which are separate from the central alarm system. There are two dawn to dusk outside lights lighting up the yard and both porches have motion lights always ready.

If they can defeat all that and gain entry through either the front or back doors -- our bedroom is dark and the hallway leading to the living room which has just enough light to constrict their pupils while lighting them up for me to shoot.

First weapon is a H&K 9mm about a foot away from my bed pillow, then in the doorway a Ithaca 12ga riot pump.

If I would have to exit the house there is a H&K MP5 handy for tactical work.

Yes... All weapons are loaded and in battery.

Why would anyone be dumb enough to try and enter our house when most of the neighbors have no obvious security?

And here I am, in a tent, with my two wossie dogs, with naught but a pocket knife..
Well, at least I ain't got no bear to worry about, only Poospatuck Indians. And they gotta walk 3 miles out onto the beach to find me.
Yup, shoot first and ask questions later. That's what the police do.

America Only Loc: From the right hand of God
 
Lawfully you are required to state to the intruder to leave, you are yourself armed and will shoot. It helps if you can get 911 on the phone so they can hear what you say first.....if the intruder does not leave immediately, you have the right to shoot. If you shoot, you have to meet the standard was your life in danger? And if you say yes, then if you elect to use deadly force, you have to kill the person you shoot. If you do not kill them, then you can or may be deemed NON justified to shoot as it appears you were not in jeopardy of your own life. The time you may have in a situation is merely a second or two...use that time wisely by saying what you need to say. Even if you have no 911 operator hearing what your warning was, if you say it and later you are investigated, they may require you to polygraph....maybe....maybe not. If you do shoot, shoot as many shots as possible into the intruder until the intruder hits the floor and is not moving towards you or anyone else in your home. Many classes teach you to only shoot a few times in the mid-torso area, which may not actually kill the intruder, but if you get off 5 or 6 shots or more and hit center mass and a shot or two to the head....you should be fine.

Most people have NOT trained for the intruder situation in what is classified as a combat setting. I would hope you train for it. Train for what doors or windows someone could access to come into your home. The reality is, by the time you start to respond to the noise and the few moments you are starting to realize someone is entering your home, you have already given some advantage to the intruder. Training is so very important. Knowing where to take a position, and how rapidly you have to act when it comes to your starting to pull the trigger. Training is also vital to your choice of weapon, and things such as will you have to shoot through your own interior door to hit the intruder? Having a spare magazine for your weapon, or a back up weapon at the ready, these things are all something you need to take into consideration and add to your training.

Every single person in my Family is "combat trained" and knows how to react to the situation of an intruder, or any confrontation out in public. For the most part, you only are going to be aware of a situation when the "bad guy" has already started it....that already puts you on a disadvantage. Your being well trained is the only thing that is going to make you be a survivor. Not being in a panic, knowing where you keep any spare magazines on your person or your back up weapon in case you need it, and not getting into a mental state of hesitation (deer in the headlights) that some people have happen. I can tell you for anyone that had never been in a conflict, it can make your mind stop for a moment or two, as it can make a person be in the "is this happening to me" thought process long enough to make you not survive it. Training for the situation is more important then just going to a target range and shooting a static target.

I would hope anyone will be successful at defending their own personal safety and anyone else in the home or in public. A clean shooting will even be investigated and what you do right will help you also survive that.

Given all this...I pity the jerk wad that comes into my home. That person will have a instant nickname...swiss cheese......

house. a young kid had an AK47 and killed them all...
We have 'open carry' here'
IMHO ALL STATES should have it with the wide open southern border and
the ' beheaders' ' Obie ' has let in!
