Having been in this type of situation twice at prior residences it is not as easy as people think. Until you are in the situation you have no clue what you will or can do in the moment. Unless you have extensive training you are as likely to harm youself or someone else in the home. Also most people have never seen, heard or contended with a dieing or dead human being. Unless you train on a regular basis in multiple types of scenarios and conditions using a weapon, you probably will be less than proficient with the weapon. There are all kinds of decisions that must be made in split seconds and they have to be correct, one misstep and you or a loved one could be dead or injured. The last part of this is counting on the law to be your out when you kill someone. All you have to do is look at the recent trial of the woman in Ocala that is going to prison for killing another woman. Most people would be better served to try to avoid these types of confrontations and situations and use force as a last resort. There are trained individuals that are much better prepared and equipped to handle these situations.

Do those "trained individuals" live with you?
If not, they're useless in a break in situation...
