This is how I see the events following: They try your door, you open fire, hitting one or two right off the bat. They return fire, firing blindly into your home (which isn't bulletproof). If they managed not to hit you, they're likely spitting up to enter your home from different angles while calling for backup. I realize that you're probably a good shot, but so are they. Rambo could kill an encampment of Asians, Jack Bauer could empty a building of terrorists, but in real life you'd be outnumbered and thus likely outmaneuvered. You'd probably kill several of them, but they'd get you. Eventually, you'd die.
I don't want you to die, DK. Nothing would be served by your death other than maybe an NRA lawsuit and some very angry blogs.

the problem, will, is there needs to be a line in the sand. I faced death a long time ago and it does not frighten me.
p.s. you're also looking at this scenario as if i'm alone. I can assure you, I would not be alone. let's look at the scenario a little further down the line. In the ensuing firefight, say two or three end up dead, and one or two more injured. With NOT knowing who and how many are still in my home, what's the first thing that the rest of them are going to do? If you guessed 'call for backup', you'd be right. Once that call hits the airwaves, the game is up. the media will get ahold of that and within a day, everyone and their brother is going to know about it. On top of that, if you remember in Katrina aftermath, the police and national guardsmen only entered a select few neighborhoods. They conveniently stayed out of neighborhoods where groups of neighbors bound together in groups and patrolled their streets. It was not a fight that those guardsmen/police wanted.
