just to chime in here

1-we have had three home invasions here in the last year and a half- 2 of them resulted in the murder of the homeowner, after he gave the invaders what they wanted- they may not start out to "butcher shop " you, but around here we assume any more that they will manage it anyway- and treat them accordingly

2- some states have a castle doctrine- we just passed one here in missouri, which takes effect aug 28- at that point, you are no longer required to retreat or be attacked to use lethal force on an intruder- their being illegally in your home, tent, car or business is enough to justify lethal force, and you cannot be prosecuted or sued..... this law rocks, and more and more states are adopting similar laws..... check yours......

3- I am a believer in the jacking the slide on a shotgun idea, as years ago it frightened away someone trying to jimmy my mothers door with a knife-(that someone was later caught when another woman shot him, he had raped three women before this occured).... however, it is no substitute for a willingness to shoot- and it will give your position away.......

4- most rubber shot is lethal at less than at least 25 yards- so it will not give you a break in court unless you have a hell of a big living room......
