I would not go to my childs room, i would make sure the BG never got that far. My GF would be armed and i would be waiting in the hall,i would be dead and out of ammo before they had access to the bedrooms.

Rack the shotgun, its the only warning they will get. If they dont take the hint and follow my directions (disarm, lie down) then I will assume they wish to end my life/family's life and act accordingly.
But the dogs would have alerted me to their presence before they got in the house. |

Pretty much. Course, when someone breaks into your home with a weapon, its usually a given they want to do you bodily harm. |

ze speiling nassis arrs sleppeng!! As far as the scenario is concerned, my wife/gf would be armed and protecting the kids at the rearmost area of the house (one way in, one way out) and I would wait far in front of them (say the top of the stairs). They would have to go through me to get to them. I would only go downstairs to look for the intruders if it was absolutely necessary or if I knew where they were and how many, which isn't likely. |

Just call the cop's or fed's , tell them you have a illegal firearm, they will be there in a second.
 That or start shooting through the drywall. Drop mag ,insert new mag repeat often enough to make your house look like the one on "The Gauntlet" . With your family safe and sound.

Home invasation... What would I do?
If my home were invasated, I would do like the pretty lady in the commercial and hug my daughter, go to the ADT intercom and report the "problem." You see, home invasators are scared to death of home security alarm annunciators. The mere sound of an alarm causes them to drop their weapons and run away like little girls. I definately wouldn't have a weapon in the house because that could be dangerous to children and other living things. |

you left out the stay in your room protecting your family and phone 911. Hopefully they're still ripping you off when the cops show up. We like catching them red handed. Makes for easy reports.

Where the hell is the option to call the police?
It would be get them safely in a room. Lock the door, GF well armed and calling the police. Me out in the halway watching the steps with a shotgbun in the right hand, AR in the left and the Uzi and FAL mounted in the halway pre-aimed to cross at the top of the stairs activated by a string tied to my right big toe.

The way my wife and I have agreed to handle situations like this is for me to wake her up (she sleep like a log) , for her to run into the bathroom and close/lock the door while calling 911 and arming herself with my AK that is kept in the bathroom.
I'll grab my Benelli and Glock 23 and handle what I can. |

So you cap the stranger standing in your hallway.
PoPo shows up and finds the "stranger" is the alzheimer patient that has been missing for 3 days. As they confiscate the murder weapon, they also search for more and find an Arsenal of weapons and thousands of rounds of ammo. Homeland Security is called, and they confiscate your computer and find thousands of posts on radical right wing websites, some calling for violent opposition to government and police authority. You are labeled a neo-nazi and become best "friends" with Bubba your new room mate. |

You have already prepared the wife, she knows how to rock n' roll. Her job is to stay with kids while aiming at the door with her own rifle/pistol thats she's trained with.
Your job is to find and neutralize the threat. Home invasions around here only prey upon the elderly... they case neighborhoods looking for targets of opportunity.

I'd shout "kids, get on that .50 cal!" and tell the wife to take a defensive position with her AR (and sweetums, don't forget the bayonet this time).
Then I would toss a tear gas canister and a shock grenade downstairs, followed by me storming down the stairs in a gas mask and full body armor screaming "NOBODY LIVES FOREVER". I would go through 10-12 30rd mags with my AR, and then proceed to hack the bloody corpse of the invaders into tiny little pieces with a machete. I would also video the entire encounter and post it on Arfcom. Nothing too drastic, though. |

1. I would wake my wife quietly and inform her of the situation.
2. Since I always have a 12 Ga. and Sig in the bedroom at night - she stays there with the shotgun. and calls 911 3. I make my way with my pistol quietly to the kids room and take up a defensive position as there is no defensive position to cover the top of the stairs. 4. I announce loudly that I am armed and the police have been called. 5. A. Wait for LEO to show up if they DO NOT come upstairs........ B. Kill them IF they do come upstairs. |

If Sgt. Schultze, my 115 lb. German Shephard, and Mojo my little pitbull didn't lick and cuddle them into submission I would probably have to sit them down and give them a very stern lecture about why stealing is wrong. I could probably even use a sock as a makeshift McGruff crimedog puppet for emphasis on the really important parts. We would conclude our talk over cups of warm cocoa(no marshmellows though because they were naughty), and I would send them on their way with a few dollars to help them out, a new sense of morality, and a song for Jesus on their lips.
 That or that thing where I tie a .50 cal to a string on my big toe, I liked that idea. |

Easier to defend than attack.
Release the pitbull, contact the police, empty a can of OC into the hall before locking door. Wait them out because time is on your side. Plus the defense lawyers for the perps will have less to work with knowing that you were not on the offensive in your house. |

+1 on defense. 1st line is me near the top of the stairwell and 2nd line is wife with the 357 and the kids. If they try to come up the stairs before the police arrive, the shit breaks loose.

So, after you kill the guy, but before the po-po comes, you fire a "warning shot" into the ceiling. Then the neighbors heard two shots. You can say the alzheimer's guy just kept coming after you warned him, then it is clear-cut self-defense and everyone is happy.

Need another choice- Wait at the top of the stairs or another ambush location. With an unknown amount of invaders it would be foolish to try to clear the house by yourself. For 3 perps you would need 8-12 men to effectively clear the downstairs.

I'm pretty sure that the dogs would have given me a little more warning
than what was suggested. Usually a barking dog will make robbers consider going to a quieter house,with less teeth. After I'm up ,the little lady isn't exactly defenseless on her own. I'll be hunting ,with my dogs spotting for me. Fetch ,Good boys ! |

Go hold the stairway while I had the wife call the police. Then have her pick up a firearm as well and go from there. Possibly venture downstairs but probably not. Besides, they'll come upstairs eventually.

Impliment the "Home Invasion Plan".
This includes the dogs going apeshit and the wife dialing 911. That's their job. I don't expect rescue but you never know when you need this from a legal standpoint or use with the invaders as a tool. The cops are on the way type of thing. TN has the castle law so if they are in my house legally they are considered a threat of severe bodily harm. I have no intent on trusting the criminal to not have violent intent nor giving them the initiative. Its my home so familiarity should give me the tactical advantage. Everyone in my house has access to firearms, are trained, and know what is expected of them in case this happens, however it doesn't mean they will do it. Identifying targets is essential. Home defense weapons either have mounted tactical lights or hand tactical lights near by. My sleeping area is completely dark while hallways are lighted at night. Family is trained in the use of keywords which lets them know what's expected of them. Nothing fancy or ubertactical but simple plain English. You can't depend on people to remember code words when the addreniline is flowing. At night, your ears are your friend. Your knowledge of your house, where people are, what's on the other side of a wall, are your tactical advantage. I'd have no qualms discouraging invasion through one of my walls keeping in mind what is downrange of my shooting angle. Stairs are a paticular concern, stealth and unconventional methods of going down the stairs are part of the plan. Last and very important, practice the plan to include the dogs. I use a buddy to play the home invasion guy. Of course, we don't kick the door down which is actually better since its quiet and really tests the plan. Noise if you don't freak is actually your ally. Home invasion is becoming far more frequent than it ever has in the past. Its a real problem that's getting worse not better. We as a society are now starting to pay the price for a population that the majority does not have firearms nor the willingness to use them. The home invaders depend on that. Tj |

They aren't going to make it out. I live out in the country and it takes the cops 20 mins or so to get here. The bad guys would already be assuming room temperature by the time the cops arrive. Mess with my family and a world of hurt is coming down.

There isn't a choice for me. I have a natural choke point in the house that as long as they have not already reached that they have little chance of getting through while I'm armed. We have 2 - 3 minute police repsonse here. I'll stand my ground with the family. They approach us, they die. The police can deal with clearing rooms.
That's if I KNOW people are in the house. If I heard something but don't know what it was, I investigate while armed. |

1. Push a button on the control panel above my head - nearly every light inside and all the lights outside come on. The one in my bedroom comes on at 10% brightness.
2. Retrieve the Smith and Wesson 686 from it's push button mechanical safe and hand the wife the corded telephone. Push one more button and every light in the house goes out. 3. Roll out of bed and state in my loud broadcaster's voice "I've got a gun, I've called the police, get the fart out of my house". 4. Wait a couple of seconds. Release the dog, commence to hunting. Any one left in the home at that point is not there for the DVD player or VCR. 5. The police response to my house is about 6 minutes last time there was a shooting here. Most of my neighbors have firearms, are retired a cop, corrections officers, and a couple of military. How did the invasion get though my solid frame door, up graded lock, re-inforced frame, and secondardy dead bolt? |
