see if you can give me a simple straight foward answer that doesnt involve a 1000 word uni-bomber like response  |
HAHAHA - You are the first guy to react to me and make me laugh, I like you dude.
Yes of course the first step is calling 911 then I would attack the intruder if possible, or not attack and try to reason out the situaltion... and possibly go for one of my weapons or try to take the weapon he may be carrying. The point is that I would react to the situation with logic and try to keep myself and family from harm - in the vast majority of cases - going for a gun is going to get you killed.
Actually it has happened to me, I have been in an invasion scenario and I went for a gun - it almost got me killed...Going for that gun was one of the dumbest things I have ever done... I'm not going to elaborate on an ugly memory for anyones benefit so don't ask.
The point is your scenario is the vast exception to the rule - attackers are on offense, they have stealth and planning on their side. They are expecting you to go for a weapon - it will likely NEVER happen that they will give you a chance to get your hands on a weapon. It's fantasy dude - guns for personal protection is a big myth.
So let me ask you this:
Does it occur to you that you (or a family member) might be killed with one of your guns? Or killed because you made the choice to attempt to defend yourself with deadly force?
Do you think the odds are better of you successfully defending yourself and family with guns than getting yourself or family killed because of them?
I know several people who have paid the ultimate price for their gun ownership (most recently Earl Millers 18 year old son who I knew well)... RIP
