If I wake up to someone in the room, I reach for a live katana over the bed. I have trained for years, and with one rising action, I can make it sing across the entire bedroom.
With my room clear, I lock the bedroom door, and then go back to bed. The 1911 is loaded and in a drawer within reach of the bed, as is the telephone. I dial 911, put the phone under the covers, and leave the phone on to let them trace it. Then, I lay back with the 1911 trained on the door. Anyone who comes in will find me asleep in bed, taken totally by surprise...
