Anything beside shoot to kill would be dangerous to oneself or family. Killing the bad guy would definitely end the threat.

I would retreat to safe Cover, call 911, then shoot to kill the Felon

Keep in mind that this poll is open to the public for voting and viewing. I'm guessing the results will be somewhat diverse.

Surely a fate worse than death alone...

you mean stop the threat! not to kill them your intention is to stop the lethal threat, or threat to you and your loved ones. not to kill them if that happens oh well

Ok, I'll bitch at them until the threat goes away or they die, whichever comes last.

If he is armed and intends do my family harm, I'm not going to give him another opportunity to come back again.

If time permits I'd call 911. Having them listen in (and record) as I tell the scumbag that I am armed and they need to leave immediately, just before I eliminate any and all threats to my family and myself.

I'm pretty sure the intruder would choose to end their life on their own

Might be some legal problems with that too... Wouldn't that be a form of "assisted suicide"?

You're just lucky she goes to bed early...but she gets up early too...you may have an intruder to deal with soon

I knew a guy in NC who did just that.

911 Operator: What is the nature of the emergency?

Guy: There's somebody breaking into my house.

911 Operator: What is your address, sir? We'll send somebody over as soon as we can.

Guy: What?! He's coming in the door right now!

911 Operator: Sir, please remain calm.

Guy: He's got a knife!

911 Operator: Sir...

Guy: Hang on... (puts the phone down)

(BANG!)

Guy: Ok, he's not coming in anymore. Go ahead and send somebody.



Hehe... I don't even rememebr the guy's name but I always respected him after that. ;)

Intruder, with CLEAR INTENT to harm me or my family...in my house? Well, I don't want the SOB to come back so I'd have to eliminate that possibility.

First make Hummas in my pants and then hopefully have the sense enough to be able to find my gun,remove the trigger lock after I have found the key to it, Also try to remember what room the ammo is in,(so I can load my gun that I have for self defense) and hopefully the goblin is not in that room.<Sarcasim off>
Really I would hope to be able to get the phone call the police and position myself in the room where if I had to shoot to protect myself I would be safer from the goblin in case he/she fires back. But shoot to stop the threat.

I would call 911 cause somebody is going to need a medic. Our Rot is about 125 lbs. now and if said intruder hurts my wifes baby there will be hell to pay.
Besides a 45 in the night stand helps
