i have a real life scenario that is very close to the one about the intruder and rule #4. in my city(which i will not mention, but it is a very large midwest city) the local law enforcement atf barged into the house of one of my acquantances, when he heard them break in he immediatly grabbed a gun and when the atf broke in his bedroom they shot him dead in his bedroom in front of his wife, it turns out the atf broke into the wrong house, it also turns out his next door neighbor was the one the atf was after, apparently his neighbor was a big time drug dealer. also the atf apparently made no attempt to identify themselves. the outcome was a lawsuit in which the mans wife won. this goes to show you that this situation is very ugly, and you can never be sure what is around the corner. just a little input.
