- #From: nahst6+@pitt.edu (Nathan A Horstman)
- #SCENARIO: It is late at night. You and your wife wake up from the sound of
- #a broken window in the living room. You grab your favorite perp-popper and
- #head out towards the living room. It is a dark, overcast night, and you can
- #see the perp's outline but cannot discern if he is armed. What do you do?
- #Shoot? Yell something?
-
- If I was certain of what I had heard I wouldn't leave the bedroom. Get behind
- the bed or some other cover and while your wife is talking to 911 yell "The
- police are on thier way. I am armed. Come through the bedroom door and I'll
- shoot" Wait for cops to come and stay on phone.
-
- If you have kids that complicates matters. Try and get them into the "safe"
- room and then try it.
-
- It's better to let the perp come to you.
