Our county sheriff has told us that we need to fend off an intruder for up to :45 minutes. Now we can sing we are the world to the intruder or tell the intruder he needs a time out, or we could go lock ourselves in the bathroom and pray he dosn't break the door down or we can point a gun at him. Which would you want to protect yourself and your family with until help arrives? If its a semi automatic weapon all the better for me to take them out.
