If you don't have a plan and an understanding of what is going on around you, keep the pistol in the holster.

That would assume that there still is a locked door between you and whatever. If it's not, lock it. If it's not sturdy enough, make it sturdy enough to add to your peace of mind.

Then consider the factors of what constitutes a righteous self defence situation. A pertinent factor here would be "opportunity". Is the person scaring you actually in a position to effectively hurt you?
