At the time this guy entered the bedroom, my wife & I are kneeling on the floor behind the bed opposite of the door, with our heads up watching the door. We always keep a front-room light slightly on (rheostat) so he was back-lit. A flashlight, at this point, would also have been a big plus.
What is becoming more and more clear is that this needs to be addressed as more of an official mission/plan. With each individual assigned their own area of responsibility. My son has since moved so, it's just my wife & I.
My wife is no cream-puff - she has been in two shooting scenarios. One of these she had to shoot her abusive ex-husband. She shot him in the head with a .22lr, he's still walking around with the slug in his head.
I've also purchased a Winchester 1300 Defender 12 gauge, w/ #4 shot, on which I've mounted a Zenon tactical light. This is now the primary house-gun, the 9mm will be in the night-stand drawer, on my wife's side.
I also like the idea of shouting and identifying yourself and also letting any intruder know that you are armed and ready. This alone may dissuade anyone if the clatch-chunk sound of the pump shot-gun doesn't.
