i have a similar story.
years ago, bad times and i had sold my gun, so no gun in the house. And the wife and I were about 4 years into marraige, so we still slept naked. Two kids in separate bedrooms on the other side of our small starter home. there was a sliding glass door right outside my bedroom to the left and the utility closet was right outside the bedroom to the right. 2 am, i hear someone trying to kick the glass door in.. without thinking, i jumped out of the bed opened the bedroom door, nothing. i ran through the house naked and screaming at this intruder to get out.. check kids bedrooms, nothing. Front door and window. nothing. Cops come. nothing found. kids NEVER woke up, which is good bc they would have seen a naked crazy man running screaming through the house... after cops leave my wife opens the utility closet and theres the "intruder"....
a box of nails that was on a shelf above the washer fell off onto the empty washer lid... by the way, that sounds just like someone is trying to kick in a door....
fully stocked with guns now. 9 on my side, wife has a S&W revolver. Closet has numerous shotguns and rifles, my favorite is the 12 pump. 12 year old sons closet has a shotgun with buckshot and slugs near. The 21 year old daughter has a pistol..
pretty scary stuff. Two things my story has, me in panties and an actual person on my property!
running and screaming seem to be the real life theme!.... not pew pew pew

Call 911. Tell them a burglary is in progress. Send police and ambulance now. Say no more. Leave phone off hook. Do what you have to do to protect yourself and family. Afterwards call your lawyer. Don't say anything to anybody until he gets there.

I would strip down naked, grab my Rambo knife and wait

My dogs would attack them.
I would get my gun.
I would call 9-11.

I'm just thinking of the deer hunting order my pow pow taught me. Slugs first cause the deer is likely standing still, then buckshot when he starts to run. Damn effective method. I've never applied it to human shooting though.

Its better to say there are intruders and you think they just shot a cop if you want the fastest response possible.

Take wife and daughter to master closet where she has a 9mm with hollow points and have her call 911 and tell them that there's three intruders and they are all dead...probably make them get there faster lol
I would take the shotgun and 40 cal. S&W lock the bedroom door and be sitting on the couch pointing at the 3 doors that connect to my living room waiting to rearrange their faces. The first door I would think someone would try would be the back due to the front door having two bright as lights on and the door to the garage would take some time due to having to go through the entry door in the garage which leads to outside. Either way they are fricked

Got some quick bad asses up in here.

Security Guard has already stopped to ask them who they are. Only one entrance/exit into neighborhood.
30 seconds before they enter- Tell fiance and dog to get in bedroom closet (deepest part of home) while calling cops. Grab knife and bat by bed (no gun yet, keyword yet). Turn on lights (open floor plan with huge windows so its easy to see inside when lights are on). Wait in cafe/breakfast area which is hidden by a corner.
Once they enter, alarm goes off (always set at night), lights are on so Security guard (off duty cop) can see into home easily from where he parks at night and he shows up, cops are being called. After that its improv.

I would prefer the lights off since I know the layout of my house WAY better than any intruder. I mean, I can walk through my house in complete darkness.

First I would yell at my dogs to shut up (they bark at everything) No chance on waking up the wife in 30 sec or my step-son. So no help there.
Call 911
Grab the bat in my closet and wait

Agreed but my house is on the first street with nothing infront but a lake. I throw those lights on at 2 am and you can see whats going on inside, the Security guard will drive by, assuming the invaders have snuck past him by walking or some shite.

this is the best $400 you will ever spend. My first shot is a pheasant load...the next 4 are buck shot. Cheap tactical flashlight mount

I don't have a gun
Ever tried getting a gun permit in NYC?
The police here say we don't need them, and they know what's best for my family. Also given the fact it could be the popo coming in I'd rather not shoot. See why I don't need a gun?

Myself, and either Chris Tucker or Owen Wilson, would engage with them in a fight lasting from 5-10 minutes.
I would use many common household items as weapons and as defense. My partner and I would make jokes at one another and quip about various close calls and unintended harm we cause one another.
The assailants would be rendered incapacitated and the authorities would soon after arrive.

Would they be scared by me opening my back bed room window and sounding off an air horn?
Posted on 2/25/15 at 11:24 am to theunknownknight
grab the shotgun in my room, stand at the top of stairs, announce that I have a gun and they need to identify themselves before being shot. All our bedrooms are on the second floor after a 90 degree turn stair case, nobody is getting through if they have ill intentions.
