SB, you ask one heck of a compound question don't ya. First suggestion, read Army FM (Field Manual) 90-10 and 90-10-1 with change 1. They are the Army's bible(s)when it comes to Urban Warfare or MOUT in Army speak. Don't think they are restricted so they should be available over the net on the Army publication site. Depending on the training and motivation of your "HIT" your in BIG trouble. This definately sounds sounds like a loose/loose scenario. You'd be lucky to take them with you. But there are tons of things that you can do to give you a more level playing field. By reading the above mentioned FM's you'll learn a lot. Certainly more than I can impart on this topic here.

Second and a shorter answer, do everything you can to "Strongpoint" or harden your residence. Use solid core doors with deadbolt locks, reinforce the door jambs (unbelievable how many people get super strong doors and never think about the jambs). Bars on windows are nice, but they work both ways, keeping you in while others out. Have positive communications with local Police agency, cell phones work well, but test it from your safe room, and have a spare charged battery handy. Dogs are a great first line of defense (early alarm) and so on and so on.

There's just too much stuff in your topic to address adequately.
