If they do gain entry you will be prepared with weapon in hand. Phone connected to 911, makes it easier afterwards IMHO.
I've already clearly stated that I (my wife actually) would be on the phone to 911. The intruder would have already broken down one door (because I have NO accessible windows), would have to be disregarding the alarm siren and also disregarding repeated, continuous warnings that I am armed and the police are on the way.

I will NOT wait to see what they plan to do when they come through yet another door and I have to count on my gun killing him before he can kill me.

I will NOT subject my wife and children to the trauma of watching their father kill a man and/or seeing their family being attacked in the process.

He can die on the other side of the door, or lay there bleeding or retreat if I miss or the wounds are not severe. He is not my concern.
