Answer 1

I love this question!!!

Okay, well, are you asking what I would do? or for advice what to do?

I have personal experience with this question as this has actually happened to me.

Years ago, I was dating a girl that had an infant daughter. She lived with her mother in an upscale neighborhood that shared it's borders with some "bad" areas. The two of them were extremely beautiful and very petite. The topic of being home alone and having the doors locked at all times, came up often. Looking out the front door gave you a false sense of security as the surrounding homes were very nice and well kept. Friendly neighbors, etc...

It was summer and I would have been at work, but it's hard to landscape in the rain. I had called home to tell her that I was on my way. She told me that she had put the baby down for a nap and that she would be "ready" for me when I got home.

When I walked in the front door, quietly as not to disturb the baby, I heard struggling and the baby crying!

Now, at that time, I had been a bouncer for 4 years, a bodyguard for two and a martial artist for 7. Fear, well, didn't have any of that. I guess you could say the only thing I feared at that moment was that I was too late. I made my way up the stairs as fast and silently as possible.

The baby's room was the first I would encounter so I made sure to evaluate her first. Peeking in to see that she was only crying for typical baby reasons, I made my way to the next doorway.

I was lucky, that the baby's cries concealed my movements. For our misfortune was that there were TWO men in the house. One in her room and the other seemed to be looking for things to steal and began yelling at the other to leave the "*****" alone and grab some shiite.

This is were lots of training helps. You really need to keep your cool if you're going to get involved. I knew there wasn't enough time to wait for the police. The police in Pontiac, MI SUCK anyway. So, my actions were the only chance she and the baby had.

The cover of sound was my only ally. With both mommy and baby screaming, the guy attacking her would never know I took out his friend, if I did it quickly and quietly.

I don't want to sound like a bad Steven Segall movie, so I'll spare you the details of my techniques.

With ROBBER GUY #1 down, I only had to deal with the guy on top of mommy. Now, some people have asked me before why didn't I go to her first? Well, if I went to her first, guy #1 would have come in to help his friend. Now, I can take on two guys, but why if I don't have too? Besides, she was doing a pretty good job fighting.

When I entered the room, I didn't have any time to think. She had just broken free of his grasp and luanched for the door. Bad timing as we collided with each other and sent her back a step.
I grabbed her and threw her behind me, as I did this, he too grabbed for her and his nasty crack pipe nails dug deep gouges on her shoulders. The scars from which, she still has to this day.

I took a couple steps back and when I heard the baby's room door shut and lock, I yelled out, CALL 911, my phone is on the floor. I had thought far enough ahead to leave my phone in the baby's room. Knowing, that once free, mommy would go straight to her.

It seemed like an eternity, we stood there in a stalemate. I was quite a bit bigger than he was, but I could see the crazy drug induced haze in his eyes. The desperation that comes from need, fear and confusion. He yelled at me and I cursed him...
I think what happened next may have changed my life more than any other event in my life.

I heard the sound of a cartridge being chambered into a semi-automatic handgun.

His friend was back on his feet and standing behind me with a pistol pointed directly at me.

You pretty much only have one option here. PRAY
well, pray and shiite your pants.

However, I did neither of these.
They didn't come into the house with a gun. If they had a gun,
they would have used it to control mommy. If they had
a gun, they would have had it on them, I would have seen it.
It would have been laying within reach in the other room.

Thats when I remembered: Her mother's boyfriend had bought her a pistol and showed her how to use it. She was too afraid to keep it in her room, so she put it in the closet of the room mommy and I slept in. Saying, "here, you know more about these than I do and it scares me".

It was my gun. The bastard was pointing my gun at me.
Which, was actually kind of funny. I put three blank rounds in my gun and the rest are hollow points. If the perp doesn't get the clue by the time I fire three rounds, then they deserve to be shot.

Now, he chambered a round, which ejected the first. I have two shots before that thing becomes lethal.

Using a nearby lamp as a mace, I smashed that son of a female dog upside the head. He pulled the trigger, my ears are still ringing, but we're okay.

I now keep all my firearms under lock and key. I prefer to have my swords on the wall within reach. The doors are always locked and our intercom system has an emergency button.

Hope you enjoyed my story.
I wouldn't believe it either, if it hadn't have happened to me.

Cheers

Answer 2

Robbers wouldn't break into my house. Robbers are people who have guns and say "stick 'em up." Burglars, on the other hand, would not be disappointed, but they'd have to have knowledge of the antiques market to know what to take.

Answer 3

Well truthfully, he would have to be a pretty good fighter to beat up my spouse. If he was though I would let Apache out of his crate to help my husband out then I would call the police.

Answer 4

Answer 5

First, knock him out and then proceed to beat them within an inch of their lives, noone lays a hand on my family and doesn't regret it.

Answer 7

pull a Stone Cold Steve Austin stunner from behind

Answer 8

I stop him and beat him so badly he'd need to spend several weeks in the hospital.

Answer 9
