Scene: Your house
Weaponry: Bed side knife, random objects No gun.

Sitrep: You, your S.O., infant on one side of house. 2 older children 7 and 13 on other side of house.
One long hallway separates you from other side of house.

You hear glass break,hear alarm go off, your bedroom door is locked. After 3 seconds of waking up from glossy eyed slumber, you realize what is happening. Wake up wife, hear multiple gun shots from opposite end of house.


Assuming you have no gun, wwyd?
Charge down long hallway into living room to cross house into area of potential shots? Send wife and small child out of bedroom window to safety then charge, then slowly creep into the unknown?

Save you,wife, infant and get out bedroom window asap, get them to neighbors, call police, go back into house? Attempt to see whats going on?

Wwyd...

I have a gun in every room...that are in places you wouldnt think are hollow.

Your scenario does not apply...nor would I disclose said information onva message board.

this site is filled with people from the south. I doubt many people here fit your hypothetical no gun scenario

Grab the knife, grab your wife by the throat.

Confront the intruder, while threatening to kill your wife with the knife.

As he pauses confused, throw the knife into his skull like Kurt Russel did in Big Trouble in Little China Town.

Assuming it is a one story house get the wife and kid out and tell her to run. Make sure she has a cell and calls 911. I would immediately go to try and save my other two kids. Close the distance fast and hope he can't shoot. I would probably get popped but I would do my damnedest to plung the knife into him before expiring

I usually refrain from speculating exactly what I would do in these scenarios, because you really never know until you're there. However, if it was my wife or children in danger, I absolutely do know that I would try to save them.

What kind of life would I have after burying two of my children, knowing that I didn't even try to save them?
