1. There's always one more perp than you see...so if you observe someone doing something to your car (disabling it? placing abomb under the hood? using it as cover to gove other infiltrators support?), it would be reasonable to eliminate the visible threat and search for the rest.

2. On a purely ethical note, anyone victimizing others ought to remain alive only at the discretion of the wronged party. On a practical note, most sane people don't exclude the possibility of some innocent explanation and so don't shoot until absolutely certain.

when the Ex future mrs coonan spent the night , she woke me up to tell me she heard some thing making noises outside of the front of the house I grabbed the lda and the surefire and told her to stay put and make sure the cell was near by , also I told her where the backup was at and not to get it unless shot where fired , all it was was a hungry critter in the trash . needless to say i didn't sleep a wink that night but she did ..

when tinhgs went bump in the night

looking through the posts i've seen a bunch of "I'll protect everything I have" {except myself}. If you are really going to go gettem I would suggest taking time to put on the armor I have only seen one post where somebody going to protect what is theirs who wants to protect himself enough to accomplish this. If someone is willing to come into your home know you are home more than likely they;
#1 are not alone
#2 are probably armed in one way or another
#3 Stoned
#4 just plain stupid and should be locked up for that alone.....

I have had to leave the safety of the bedroom and go out into the house, the dog alerted and wife heard something waking me up. She stays on oppsite side of bed from the door armed {just in case} first thing grabbed and thrown on is armor { which aside from weapons is beside the bed} then the G23 and maglite. She stands by the phone with 911 dialed in ready to make call should the call need to be made. B4 shooting someone you better be in immeadite danger of "serious bodily harm" {shooting one in the back on his way out your door not a good idea}. MAKE THE SHOT COUNT if it needs to be taken {they can't testify against you in a civil suit {which is sure to follow } if they are pushing up daisies.

Bogbabe;

Also if you trade shots with BG who is between you (in your bedroom) and your kids, your kids are downrange.

If the dog barks, I'm up. When I open that door there better not be anyone in the house.

I let my dog make that call. If I let her out of the bed room and she keeps barking the pistol is in my hand. If they don't run from her (or God forbid hurt the dog) They won't be bothering anyone the next night.

In regard to a comment LASur5r made:

"A really good friend recommended a dog to walk "guard." Mean to take him up on that suggestion."

I am very interested in this. I had a friend who taught her Dobie to "go see". From a whisper this dog would go on alert and check the area. I am interested in how your friend taught his dog to walk guard. Check only doors and windows, or actually walk the perimeter during the night?

My perfect alarm system would be those motion sensor lights w/o the lights that would quietly raise the kennel doors. I love the fact that Dobermans for the most part are quiet, but bark if there is reason. My last one died 2 years ago, and I need to get another one. He wasn't much of a guard dog though, since he spent the night wrapped in a blanket in the laundry room!

My house: Grab shotgun and go looking.
Girlfriend's house: Yell at the two German Shepards to not chase whoever just turned tail and ran for the street while screaming about big dogs taking their pound of flesh.
