I can't address all scenarieos, so i will address one I can relate to ...

1 defender and 1 principle
Night time with or without power
Suburban Colonial (2 story)
Within Reach (Glock 40, Mossberg 12 ga. w/ 9 shots, Bushmaster stubby .223 w/several 30 round mags)

Hopefully this will occur when we are in upstairs bedroom, or given the time to, retreat there.

I will be to deny access to the second floor by making the stairwell a "free fire zone." Using the 12 gage w/ .00 buck, fireing without any warning or challange. Backed up with the .223 and finally the Glock with .40 Fedral Hydroshocks.

Controlling access to the second level using maximum firepower available.

I have approximatly 150 (12 ga) to 500 (.223/.40) rounds per weapon, including 250 rounds of .44 magnum for my Desert Eagle. All ammunition and weapons are stored upstairs other than the Glock being worn in home with 10 Hydroshocks in magazine.

If necessary, principle could use the Glock to back me up.
