RE: bow for defense
 

well i would use the bow and take the most ethical shot at the time. but if i didnt have a good shot i think i would have to pass. haha jk. i wouuld have a gun under the bed or nearby. but unless you hit him in the head

RE: bow for defense
 

Personally, I'd probably just leave out the back door then call the police.

i'll be the first taker....

if thats all i got, i'll give it what i got if im cornered in my room...Bo and Luke Duke never used no guns :D

but, the chances of that are super unlikely to happen in my house....wont go into details, but anyone stupid enough to break into my house while dad or I is home, well, they will make the stupidest person of the year award IMO...i dont wanna shoot anyone...never wanna be faced with that decision or put into that situation, but i surely aint gunna sit back and end up dead or family dead over some low life...

loaded .45 within arms reach answers this question. big mistake on criminals part! my bow is for hunting, .45 is for protection.

RE: bow for defense
 

Last resort, yes I would use my bow, and try to surprise the intruder with an arrow vs. him knowing I am defending myself with a bow. I have a P229 Sig Sauer chambered in .357 Sigthat says I won't have to resort to this measure ; ) Problem with this scenario is that you cannot legally shoot someone, even if they are in your house unless your life or a family members is under direct threat. So for you to find this out, you would have to be in relatively close proximity, in my opinion to close to have a bow in my hand.

Yep! If that is the most deadly thing I had within reach, I sure would. Like others have said though, slim chance I'll be caught without a loaded firearm with arms reach while in my house.

Edit: sr77, You don't live in Texas do you? Check out the Castle Doctrine.

If an intruder is in your house, you can assume that he is there to do you or your family harm.

Then I will call the police and CLEARLY state to them, while on the phone, the perp broke into my home and threatened myself and my children lives...please send someone out to remove his body from my home....Oh and by the way officer, could you ask the coroner to return my arrow and broadhead, Im going hunting tomorrow...thank you;)
