Good answers, guys. And jeez, don't I seem like a real "blood and guts, shoot-first-ask-questions later" kind of maniac. Sheesh. I just put myself, and my physical and social situation, into the "role play" and came up with what I thought would be the only really safe way out. Anybody coming down my drive with a ski mask and gun in hand has to come straight towards my vehicle, my wife's not a "screamer", etc, etc. Those sort of "modifiers", if you will. But, still good thoughtful answers. Posts like these are worth their weight in gold! It's somewhat unnerving thinking about how many "armed citizens" are out there right now in a blissful state of ignorance concering the use of dealy force, "real life" tactics, etc. Thanks, and stay safe.
