Tall Shadow,

I'll agree with your last post completely.

As far as the person being armed or not, you can bet that I will not be checking him to see if he has a gun and I will not be waiting to see if he has a gun. I will be scared for my and my family's life as it is. I'm not a big guy, so if the intruder gets anywhere close to me, that is all it will take. Our plan of action is to wait in the master bedroom and call the police if we think anybody is in the house. If the intruder comes through the bedroom door, that will be the point where I go into action. Once I figure out that he isn't somebody I know or that he is wearing a mask, that will be it. I do not plan on checking out his identity and then checking to see if he has a gun. Mind you, I do not plan on seeking out anybody that is in the house, period. That is the police officer's job, but I will not try to run from the house and the bedroom will be the safe spot for us.
