Before any knee jerk reactions, this can be very serious in any number of ways. Here is the scenario;
you are awakened at 0100 by glass breaking or some other sound that makes you wake up. As you listen, there are more noises that make it obvious someone is trying to break into your domicile. You and your wife are in bed, a house guest is in the guest room. The house has been burgled the day before (saturday afternoon) and at least $8000 in cream is gone. Broken windows have been covered over, door jambs have been reinforced. Here we are at 0100 Sunday night and some thugs are trying to break in. You see the shadow of one at the front door trying to jimmy the door, another at the side door and another at the kitchen door. The one at the side door has broken the glass and is trying to manipulate the dead bolt which has been replaced with a keyed lock. His hand is inside trying to work the deadbolt.
The thug at the kitchen window is trying to jimmy the back door which has been reinforced with a steel plate behind the deadbolt.
You hear the thug at the front door kick in the glass and you wonder who will come in the house next?
So, what do you do at this point? You are armed and ready to shoot. They are not aware you are in the house.
Hmmmmmm ..This is meant to be a thinking exercise and one that should be considered if you find yourself faced with similar circumstances.
This is based on an actual incident in SoCal circa 1985
