There must have been at least 100 of these threads in the past few years.......

Question/thought; as a homeowner in a quite 'burb of the Burgh"..... how likely is it that I'll be confronting a gun welding burglar or intruder .... willing/wanting to engage in a shootout with a armed homeowner...... or one who will start blasting away if caught in a flashlight beam....

Sometimes I think we focus/fixate on the worse scenario we can imagine .... like the drug crazed mugger that will continue an attack like a "Viking Berserker" unless put down with the same gun we talk about in the Bear threads.

Everyone's mileage will vary..... from me to our troops in the Sandbox to the Cop answering a alarm....... from me in my t-short and shorts to soft body armor to ceramic plates and Kevler helmets......... need and available equipment will vary.

In the end we will respond with what we have...... not necessarily with what we would like.
