According to ABC the days of grabbing a baseball bat and heading to the door are over

I don't know who their experts are but in the story the reporter says:
Quote:
Security experts [sic] say the smart thing to do is lock the door of the room that you're in and call 911.
How insane is that? They show footage of burglars breaking open front doors, but a bedroom door is going to stop them cold in their tracks?

Also kind of funny - the 911 operator in one case seems to be very dissapointed that a homeowner shot to defend herself he says "Maam, did you shoot AGAIN ?"

But just tactics wise, IMO, unless you've invested in a bullet-proof door and the heavy-duty frame to support it, a bedroom door doesn't do much for you besides buy you a ittle bit of time.
