I try to come up with realistic, believable scenarios that could actually happen, nothing so unrealistic that it belongs in the I'm-a-one-man-death-dealing-force-to-be-reckoned-with category.
Here it is...
The rest of your family is away somewhere, vacation, beach, just somewhere that isn't home and you don't expect them to be coming back anytime soon. You're coming home from a quick trip to the grocery store. You have a plastic grocery bag in your left hand with whatever in it, milk, hot wings, etc. You unlock your door with your other hand and push it open. You see in your living room two men. One is unarmed (at least visibly) and holding your tv, vcr, whatever. The other (read this part carefully) is standing in front of your desk, cabinet, or whatever else you might have in your house. He has one hand in the drawer, obviously pushing things around, trying to see if there's anything worth stealing. The other hand holds a shotgun. It's hanging at his side. He's obviously in condition white since no one was home when they arrived. Both men are approx. 15 feet away and immediately turn when you push the door open.
I understand that there's a lot of unknowns at this point in the scenario. I have no idea what the two theives will do now. What I want to know is what you'd do. You have your CCW with you.
Those of you with dogs that roam the house can either sit this one out or share what you'd do if you didn't have a 300 pound Doberman with surgically removed vocal chords keeping the fort down while you're away.
