Yes of course the first step is calling 911 then I would attack the intruder if possible 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

to answer your questions
yes and yes
Id rather try and defend myself and family with deadly force than have somone use deadly force or toture or sexual abuse on me or my family becasue i simply gave up in hopes they wouldt harm us.Id rather die trying to stop that from happening rather than live the rest of my life knowing i didnt even try to stop it.As far as a family member getting killed due to my guns or attepmts at defending us...again i would also feel alot better going through the rest of my life knowing my family member died knowing i did my best to defend them.If they died due to my lack of gun saftey or proper care/storage then that would be on me and i would have to deal with knowing there death was due to my negligence..but not my choice to actually own a firearm.
its only fair i ask you the same question but in reverse.
Does it occur to you that your famiy or you could die get raped or injured because "Dad said it was better for us to just give in to a robber or intruder than try and defend ourselves"..Would you be able to live with yourself knowing you and your family calmly dropped your pants,leaned over the bed and just took it in the ass because YOU deciced its better than risking getting hurt or killed trying to defend yourself and them?...gimme an answer like i did for you
