    That's wise, you're probably only allowed to shoot for breaking AND entering. That's why I'd chop off whatever enters with a machete.

    My dogs would bark if they were on my property. Draw a gun yell a warning. If the person provides a clear danger to me my family or my property I would act in self defence.
    Been there done that once.
    Now I know I can make vital self defence choices.

    Oh stop do not be sorry for me. Be sorry for those afraid of guns unafraid or unwilling to act in defence of their own families. There is no shame or fear in educating yourself with the knowledge and skills to thrive in an increasingly stress filled Society.

    If you are skilled in hand to hand combat why do you need to kill them? An expert marksmen would do just that. I could just see the family of the bad guy saying, why did he need to kill him when he could have easily just subdued him.

    PoetLover, don't you think the bad guy might be armed? After all he's obviously not concerned with breaking the law.

    Ahh yes, because a gun owner can't advocate universal background checks on gun sales without being a hypocrite. Makes complete sense, if you don't think about it.

    CALL 911 while you find some sort of weapon to get the jump on them. I suggest 1) PepperSpray the **** out of the guy.
    2)Take a baseball bat and subdue him with that if he continues to be a menace.
    3) If he has a firearm, run. a moving target is not a very easy target.

    Well, not long after I moved into my house, that happened. It was the bedroom window right next to where I sleep. He was making a little noise and it woke me, so Igrabbed the phone, went to the other end of the house and called the police. Then I did a stupid thing. I took a full size maglight and went around the house. I yelled real loud and hit him in the head. Scared the crap out of both of us. He ran one way and I ran the other. The police caught up with him in the alley. He told them that some crazy lady hit him in the head. Cops were laughing their butts off when they came back to the house later.
