Some motherfucker breaks into your house, you pull out your gun, confront the burglar, and tell them that you’ll shoot them if they don’t leave? Not sure how realistic it is, but At least it’s a scenario, and not just general advice that presumably works well for gun owners.

If it makes it any more plausible, I’m assuming you’re warning them while your gun is aimed right at them.

No, you're the one that needs the warning so you can get up, go to the gun safe, open it, get out your gun and ammo, load the gun and go looking for an intruder. Meanwhile, did you get the right kind of ammo? 
Alternate scenario: the motherfucker shoots through the window while you’re watching ‘Cooking With Julio’ and blows a barn door in the back of your head. Then he leisurely strolls through the house collecting all the guns you bought to keep you safe.

However, if they came in loaded with semi-autos there would not be much I could other than become ultra paranoid and have a gun for every possible scenario.

If you're gun is "safely away" then it's not immediately ready for use. Intruders ARE ready and don't care who gets shot. So, among the valuables you lose is a gun.

And, just for the record, the odds of a given burglar being unarmed are a Hell of a lot higher than you might think. Of the 3.7 million burglaries reported in the US in a given year, only 7% actually used violence, and of that 7%, only 12% Actually had a firearm (roughly 6/7 of a percent.) So, if you actually have a gun in an easier access location (which, of course, has numerous problems of its own), my scenario might actually work.

1. Playing out scenarios is about as useful as watching Magnum.PI.....
2. You never confront. If you know someone is trying to or has broken into your domicile - get your gun in one hand - cell phone in other and hide under cover if possible - concealment if not. Dial 911 and put down phone. Backup will be coming. Stay put. 3. If intruder comes to where you are hiding and is a threat - shoot till threat is neutralized. Then if safe to do so - provide first aid till EMS gets there. 4. This is the legal requirements in Michigan. Don't like that? Don't want to get shot? Don't break into people's homes. |
