This was reported on another thread, but I wanted to check with you guys:
You're at home late at night on your computer writing your latest rant to your buds...so most of your lights are off.
All of a sudden you hear about five rounds fired right in your front yard. You live in a rural area and you know it'll be a while before the cavalry can even arrive. So you hit the deck....cut off all lights....locate your armament before they can enter the house....locate your wife and other tenants at the same time.
You have your wife grab the cell phone to get the cavalry started. Meanwhile she grabs the shotgun, gathers up the little guys and head for the "safe room." In this case there were additional tenants living in the basement. You make sure they hunker down in the basement with lights out. That way you don't have any strays running around.
Now what?
You check the perimeter from a different room with lights out. You don't hear your dogs...so chances are they have been eliminated already. What do you do?
Let's add to the scenario...you hear a truck at the rear of your house and this time there are five more shots in rapid succession. Are they trying to draw you to one side, while they attack from another? Your nearest neighbor is several hundred yards away...you scope their house and you don't see any lights on. Probably no help from that side....
Ok, folks...need some help...Now what?
