Never sweep a house alone = Cop mentality/Training
They show up...people are getting killed in side...call backup, call swat, establish communications, chuck in gas, find the K9 unit......officer safety first....
So I guess if your kids are getting hacked up down the hall your going to hide behind the bed, clutching your cell phone talking on the phone to dispatch?
Sorry, but a one size fits all doesn't work... I might barracade, I might escape and evade, I might take the fight to them...I think and make decisions based on the info at hand.....
Besides...I own a gun because when seconds count, the cops are minutes away...
I think most of us in that scenario would come out firing like enraged grizzly bears. What we're discussing is a situation where the wife and children are properly barricaded in a safe room and you are the defender, or you have only the wife to consider. You do have this prepared for your family, right? It's way more important than "havin a gun and blastin away". If the intruders are already inside, you may have no clue where they are, meaning you could have an unfortunate "face to face" that you will regret, if you survive it. Better to also barricade, or lay silently in wait [with cover] Make them come to you
Train your family, including the youngsters. Discipline
Now if they are in the process of breaking in my front or back doors, I will respond with the Mossberg, because I have cover and both entrances are hard targets
