A Burgler breaks into your house...

[Litigation Jackson]

So many options...

1) Blast him with 2.75" 00buck from my Winchester 1300.
2) Blast him with 7.62x39mm FMJ from my Norinco SKS-D.
3) Blast him with .45ACP JHP from my Heckler & Koch USP.
4) Blast him with 9x19mm +p+ JHP from my Glock 17.

Hmmm... I'm beginning to see a common theme here.

According to Canadian law an intrusion into my home is an assault on my person. I am allowed to use as much force as is necessary to prevent the continuation of the offence.

Now, since home invasion in Canada falls under "Break and Enter in a Private Dwelling House with Intent to Commit an Indictable Offence Within" this means that the assumption is that he is going to commit a very serious crime while inside my home up to and including murder. Not to mention the "A man's home is his castle" common law argument.

That means that legally, so long as I claim to be of the firm belief that I was in imminent danger, I can unload a full magazine into his skull.

Hooray for post-secondary education in Criminal Code law!

There's a reason I keep a pistol and loaded clip within arms reach of my bed...

I also have a telescoping police baton in my car.

Depending on the situation, leave the premise (especially if he appears to have a weapon), or grab something heavy and clock him one then, tie him up and wait for the police to arrive.

I have a knife near the couch, several wooden weapons of varied lengths and sturdiness by the door, and BB rifle somewhere down here. I also know some martial arts, not that it matters.

So, assuming they are armed and don't see me, knife to the back or neck, then smack him/her over the head with the blunt weapon. Unless I let the dog attack them first.

Anyone who's serious enough to bring weapons into my house I will treat with equal seriousness.

 

[Pingrash]

I'd come up from behind and beat the shit out of him.

 

[Shadowtek]

hmm, he dosent see me huh... jam a knife in his back, kill him, call the cops, wait for the cops, have breakfast, drink coffee, watch the news, wash dishes, answer door, talk to cops, give them the body, go to court, get put in prison for manslaughter, go get released in sixty years for defending whats rightfully yours. the end.

 

[quack35]

I would check my watch, quietly grab a heavy, or sharp, implement.
Then, sneak up behind him, and make sure the last thing he ever hears is, "Look at the clock over there. It says it's time to kill again."
I will abide no criminals in my home. Should I die instead, sweet release will take me home.

You sir, are awesome. Very awesome.

 

[SnowCold]

I'm sane, I would sneak out and call 100 (911 for you americans) and wait outside. Might grab a heavy object on the way out, ust in case he comes out early.

No link, sorry. saw it on an ET show or some such thing I wasn't half paying attention but it was a story where a guy had been laid off recently and so was home alone during the day. While in the basement, he heard noises upstairs. He discovered that some guys had broken in and were in the process of ransacking and selecting valuables to take. They had unhooked his TV in preparation to take it. He called 911 on his cell, then fled the house- on his way out, he noticed the burglar's car in his drive way, with the keys in it- so he drove off in it!

The burglars came out with a bunch of his stuff, and having no means to carry it off, fled empty - handed, leaving a lot of the household goods on the front steps.

This!

 

[DoctorNick]

I would grab the 12 gauge shotgun by my bedroom door that's loaded with 00-Buck and tell him to stop what he's doing and to get on the floor.

 

[DoomyMcDoom]

depending on numbers start by cackling maniacly and if they appear to be armed or even unarmed since i ain't all that quiet on my feet being my size/weight(6" 240bs) I would probably either teach them a lesson in the speed at which your head can be removed with a razor sharp high carbon steel blade that or just crack the f*ckers head with a big ol baseball bat nice'n hard, i have no guns, but i sleep curled up around a katana and i have a good sized combat/survival knife under my pillow. so not much bad gonna happen to me, also considering that my only 2 real discernable goals in life are to possibly raise some children some day, or to die fighting or at least go out with some sorta disturbance. really no biggie if they shoot me, if it isn't immediately fatal or a disabling injury that would stop me from finishing my innitial swing i will at least die knowing they did too.

 

[kommando367]

shoot them in the foot with a .30-30 and call the cops.

 

[Delicious]

You people are very violent.

 

[traceur_]

grab my bow, get close enough to him(I'm not a very good shot with it) and LOOSE!! or I'd crap myself and leg it.

 

[sky14kemea]

Get the fuck out of the house like any sane individual?

i couldnt have said it any better

 

[AlphaOmega]

Sneak out, call 911. pop tires and block his exaust pipe.

^That. Although less creepy.

Kick them in the balls, then giggle like a giddy schoolgirl.
