I certainly wouldn't want to face such a situation. However, I have thought about it. People walk into stores and commit robbery every day. They get as little as 10-20 dollars and shoot the clerk on their way out. I purchased a Winchester Defender some time ago. It is a police riot gun with a cylinder bore and holds 8 rounds. It is always loaded with #1 buckshot. My wife and I sleep downstairs. Our doors and windows are always locked at night. My children are all adults who no longer live at home. None of our children has a key. The only way in is to break in. I have the advantage of knowing the layout of my home. Upon hearing a breakin, I will warn an intruder verbally once. If he does not hastily retreat, may God have mercy on his soul.
