I haven't upset any drug cartel lately nor have I been sleeping with the neighbor's wife... so the notion that an intruder being alerted that I'm home via me cursing as I stub my toe jumping out of bed will then have an edge in his determined mission to seek a confrontation or gun battle because he now "knows my position" seems unlikely. To the contrary, my guess is that an intruder in my home once alerted someone is home will more likely result in fleeing.

But hey, no one can predict the future. You could remain silent taking a covered position in the bedroom. When the unarmed unaware teen who is the son of your church buddy living down the street opens the bedroom door to find a jewelry box and you panic with a 12ga shot that drops the teen dead on the floor... you win.... well maybe not so much.

Thing is.... you can play a thousand different scenarios and have a different outcome each time. No one knows.
