Using a firearm against an intruder should always, of course, be a last resort and I think is seen as so by most responsible gun owners. I'm interested in hearing how you would deal with someone that breaks into your house with the intent of raping your wife and stealing her jewelery after stabbing her to death. Talk him out of it, like two rational adults?
