Quote:
1. Call 911
2. Retreat to bedroom, lock door, wait for police to arrive. Try to identify suspect/s if possible from windows, blinds, etc.
3. If burglarer attempts to break down door, yell at the top of my lungs to go away.
4. If bedroom door entry is forced, shoot them.
How is does this plan sound?

You are way ahead of the game in that you have a plan.
In my State of Florida, it is legal to shoot someone that has unlawfully entered the home.
I'm with you at Numbers 1 & 2.
Once my family is secured in the bedroom with the door locked and my wife has the shotgun locked and loaded, I am on the hunt. It's my Vietnam mentality. I am at a distinct advantage here as I know the layout of my house and every obstacle that is in it, e.g., the chairs sofas, pedestals, etc.
Once a slimeball has entered my house without my express invitation, I figure he ain't there for a tea social nor is he there to wax my car in the garage. As the sign says on my wall: If you are found here at night, you will be found here in the morning.
