0-Practice shooting with enough frequency that if I need to use my firearm it is no stranger(200-400 rounds per week)
1-Alarm system goes off 2-Dogs bark 3-Girlfriend locks dogs in kennel and calls 911 (my dogs are good alarms only and will only get in the way. If there is a fight I don't want them jumping around or trying to get my attention while I hold my sights steady at the door) 4-In my safe room behind cover. I have fortified my door so entry will take some time. 5-Issue verbal warning(if time permits) 6-Put pants on(if time permits) 7-If door is breached I will immediately shoot until the threat stops using the same criteria as the above poster mentioned. 8-God willing if # 7 does occur I hope to be able to stop the threat before it causes harm or stops me 9-If I am successful with #8 I hope that San Francisco doesn't lock me up for violating the rights of the guy that broke into my house and tried to kill me. |

And by the way, it won't help the poster very much at all if he gets wrapped up in an ambiguous shooting. Also, neither the civilian nor the police officer is ever justified in using deadly force against anyone because he may later become a "problem" for someone else. |

Very much like expected. Everyone goes off and gives advice and opinions disregarding the basic premises of the question.
Have you guys took time to read the OP? It specifically requested to pick from the options listed. :barf: |
