No doubt a subspecies.Feral swine, you mean leftists?
Well considering the guy survived to tell me the story, I think the takeaway might be PCP > Pistol. So maybe we should all have some PCP in our self defense kits?So really the best pistol for self defense is one that is good at eye pokes

assailants ? ambush?
I guarantee you when experiencing the real thing you most likely won't be considering scenes out of action/adventure movies.
I was fairly certain however it was just the one person as he fled immediately out my back door when he saw me.
To be accurate however after clearing the house I called 911 and explained what had taken place. I informed the person I was heading out to my front deck and would wait there until the LEO arrived. This gave me a clear view of the front of my property as well as concealment should the person come from around the back to the front - as I would have been able to see him and he would not have been able to see me. I could have also left the deck if necessary and easily made my way off my property to the road or to the woods.
Long story short when LEO arrived I signaled them with my flashlight and they exited their vehicle and two started walking up my driveway. When they got close enough they asked if I was (name) to which I acknowledged and they asked I clear my weapon.
Another LEO vehicle pulled up and when the two were about about halfway up the driveway (50 yards approx.) I heard a loud yell 'Stay on the ground!" and the two turned and ran back to join the other LEOs who had a canine and it discovered the guy hiding in my neighbors yard laying down near his fence line and they all drew down on the guy.
The decision to stay in a secure area or leave might be predicated on the current situation.
If there are multiple family members to protect then staying is probably the right decision.
If one is in poor physical condition, infirm or elderly then staying in place is probably the best thing to do.
However I am by myself, in pretty good physical condition AND I prefer to be out where I can move quickly if necessary as opposed to being boxed in or backed in to a corner.
We sure do get off topic quick around here - we're not doing caliber wars here folks.

And another robber runs off and dies:

Yeabut I saw a map once showing there were feral hogs in Oregon.Hmmmmph, I'm on or near a red area and not only have I never seen feral hogs, I've never heard of there being any. Around here, we love to blast pesky critters (we've just about put rockchucks into extinction) and there just isn't anybody relating stories of having done it. I would love to go on a hog hunt!!!

From what I gather, most of the helicopter shooting outfits in Texas use 9mm carbines.Hmmmmph, I'm on or near a red area and not only have I never seen feral hogs, I've never heard of there being any.

Alternate idea by example.Leaving your home to follow a retreating invader???
NOOOO!
If after exiting your home following a fleeing intruder an actual shooting occurred … well let's put it this way:
If I were a prosecuting attorney with a hard-on against private gun use/ownership I could not wish for a better scenario to allow me to hang the homeowner on chargers, beginning with brandishing and moving all the way to murder if the "now former perp" becomes the victim of the murderous homeowner who chased him out of the house and "hunted him down" with his gun.
Once the immediate threat has ended (the guy is leaving) you want to consolidate your win and protect yourself from further harm. That means staying in the home which is known territory to you that provides cover, concealment, barrier protection etc. Chasing after the BG smacks of retribution and vengeance. You will never sell a jury that your were putting yourself in a better protective position by chasing after him.
My two cents.
From what I gather, most of the helicopter shooting outfits in Texas use 9mm carbines.
So it'd be OK if it was a .45?Alternate idea by example.
I'd think that an intruder or assailant that left a scene and a homeowner or person went after him and took a first step of aggression that would be at least an assault, if there was no aggression by the perp at that moment; and if the first step was lethal, that would constitute a potential charge.
