[QUOTE]Originally posted by DEAvendetta: [QB] [b] [QUOTE]JeffKardde said... a) Call the police. "Yes, there's a robber in my house, my wife and children are here, and I think he might be armed". b) Get my children into my room, lock door. c) Grab a sword ... maybe the Glock, if I've still got it. d) Wait for police to arrive. Take action if robbers approach the room.[/QUOTE][/b] It's easy and foolhardy to have a circimventive plan when you can't really predict the situation. The point is to stay in control, or at least as much as you can. Where will the criminal come from? What direction will he/she go? Does the layout of your home make a difference? Assuming you'll even have time to pull your kids to real safety is really optimistic at best. Now on the grab a sword thing... What is that about? Do you have a sword? You best grab the Glock and keep them away from you if it's necessary to shoot them. They may only have a knife, or an axe, and I really wouldn't like to duel an axe with a sword. Calling the police is a responsible thing to do, but I wouldn't lay all value on them saving you and your family. [QUOTE][b]PsyLiam said... I do agree with Jeff about one thing. I can't imagine ever taking someone's life, no matter the situation. Can you think what it would be like explaining to your 5 year old kid why you've just killed someone?[/QUOTE][/b] Yea, really I have to agree with [b]Omega[/b] there. I'd much rather explain to my children I killed someone to save their life than be attending their funeral, or expect my family to attend mine and theirs. [/QB][/QUOTE]
