if you are very close to your weapon and in a back room, you might have a chance to take them down first. I would not ask questions.

I've thought this through KNOWING that had the original door-kicker come into my house (thank God he walked away), I could have killed a 17 year old who thought kicking in a door was a prank. That would not be easy to live with, but that's what I would still do.
I get ya, Kitty. Different reactions for different people.

I think my first thought would be to use the gun to blow out the nearest window and jump through it. Or shoot through the ceiling. But my first reaction to anything that scares me is to get the heck out.

I'm sorry you went through that scare.
