[Glenn E. Meyer]

This is the problem with internet debates. The house clearing vs. bunkering down debates usually include the nuance that if you have to rescue someone you do.

However, one can train the family (if they are competent) on how to respond.

I recall a FOF where we had to clear our house. A fellow participant came out of a run and said: "Glenn, I killed my son". Oops.

I've been 'shot' just standing there with my hands up by the good guys.
