If at this very moment, two armed robbers entered your house what would
you do. Be specific depending on where you are right now and where
stuff is located.
Example: Two armed roobers enter through a window in my house. The
alarm would sound and I would immediately lock my door and yell for my
mom to get the gun. I would then proceed to call the cops and stay
locked away in my room until they arrived. If they came upstairs I
would grab my taser and await near the entrance if they tried to enter.
What would you do this very instant if you two armed robbers entered
your house? Are you the daring type who would get your gun and go for a
shot, or hide and call the cops?
By the way, I just watched Hostage and it inspired me to make this thread.

1. Lock door. 2. Call 911.
Police are better trained for this situation.

I would shoot them. I know my place better than they do, the way the rooms are set up, it wouldnt be difficult to light one up with 2 shots and move to a different room.

Youd let your mom do the fighting for you?
Im in my room. Id run and lock the door, then stand my couch up in
front of it. Call the police on my cell phone. Id evacuate to my roof
if the started getting in, I can climb right onto it from my window. In
my house, everyone for themselves.

I have a rifle case in my closet which holds my 30-30. I would
break that out (I am right across the room on my computer) and load it,
sit in the hall way leaning out from behind the wall watching for
them. Take a shot if I got one, then call police.

in my room. My paintball gear is always sitting right by me so i'd call 911 using my phone. Put the co2 in my gun as quietly as i could, turn the lights off, and sit in the hall after putting marbles in my hopper. All of my valubles are in my living room which is close to my room. First guy i see gets marbles to the chest. Now that may sound odd, but i bought ones as close to paintball size as possible so while ruining my gun, it would ruin the burgular's day. Plus my dog is trained to attack so im sure she might help too. Most burgulars go in unarmed so im sure i'd have the upper hand. I Also sleep with a baseball bat next to me n my dog. I'm extremely paranoid when it comes to break ins.
edit* i didnt see you say they were both armed. In that case i'd still do this. And believe it or not, ive practiced my break in stuff just in case

My mom has the gun. I wouldn't make the dash down the hallway to her
room and she has gone to shooting range several times. She let me
shoot the gun once out in Palm Springs.
To the suing guy, they can't sue you if they are armed. If they are an
immediate threat to you, you may fight back. In california though, if a
robber grabs your tv, you can't touch him. Unless he armed. I'm pretty
sure of this.

While it is amazingly unlikely that someone will break in while you're home, I'd call 911 from my cell phone, get my most dangerous knife, lock my door, and wait with my knife in one hand, and my stock RTPro rail in the other and try not to crap myself.

Something on the Discovery Channel was about people breaking in. One of
the most common break in times is at dinner time when the whole family
is in one part of the house.

Well first I would grab my loaded AK47, then I would bust out of my room, then I would lay a pattern of automatic fire down in an arch shape. Then I would locate one, shoot them, do a combat commando roll out of the second ones fire, then return fire and shoot him 12 times in the face.
Yeah, I am a badass.

I would probaby just chuck my empty CO2 tanks at them after calling the

would have to defend myself. I doubt it would be to hard with their
headaches.

If I were upstairs in bed- Wake up my dad, call the cops grab my 410 conveiniantly located on my wall, and be ready to use the stock, and hide against my hallway. Firing at them would be my last resort, but a warning shot may be necessary.
If downstairs in the family room- See if they get past my dog... call the cops while hes attacking them and barking like hell notifying the neiboors and my dad, grab the original German shovel, or fire poker from the mantle, help my dog out.

Have you shot marbles with your gun before? You're lucky if you'd bruise him. They're just too heavy to have any distance/ speed to them. If you wanted to do some damage with your gun, just aim for his face and shoot as much as you can. I ball or two, shattered shells, vile paint, etc in the eyes and mouth, etc would disorient you like no tommorow.

If I was upstairs, I'd convieniently grab the phone, and climb into my attic, turn the light off, and hide in a section which is hidden from the rest of the attic. If I was downstairs I'd probably try to book and get the heck out, but hiding behind a couch would work, first I'd get a sharp knife, it's better than nothing. I could easily hide in my basement as well, or crawl inside the piano and close the lid!

Make sure to pack it with nails!
I don't know where you heard that most robberies are at dinner. I highly doubt that since it has the potential to turn into a hostage situation and more things could go wrong.
If I saw the robbers I'd call 911 and if they confront me just put the phone down and leave the line open, in which case the police would come. Then I'd just take a mental picture and let them take whatever they want. No sense in risking your life to defend stuff you bought with someone else' money

upstairs phone hide in a closet and call 911.

Hmm ...
Depends on the situation as in, the point of entry, what "armed" really
means, and which family members are in the house at the time.
I'd probably do something along the lines of:
1. Lock door / gather rest of family in one room behind locked door if it were possible.
2. Dial 911
3. Escape through a window and go to neighbors house / wait for police.

My computer sits right by my front door so if robbers came in through
there I'd be screwed. If not then I would run to my room, close the
door, and grab my favorite sword along with a couple of knives that i
could throw. Then call 911 and run through the back door. Or I would
grab my paintball gun and load it and put in the co2 tank.

Something tells me that wouldn't just be a bluff, either.
Quite a few things in my house that a burglar could take off with, too. Computers, PS2's, TV's, VCR's, DVD player, quite a few other things that would probably amount to several thousand dollars.
In any case, if it looked like I could fight back, I probably would, but I'd try to use non-lethal force; just enough to restrain them until police arrived, otherwise, I'd get to the safest room and call 911, even though around here, we have a fairly slow response time.

grab my buckknife and do my best.
Truth is, if they are intent on breaking into my house, and they are
armed. They arn't gonna care if they shoot anyone. So you are SOL. I
have seen quite a few crime scenes.

Call the police, pick up my brass knuckles and knife, head over to my moms room which is like a foot away. Lock the door and wait near the door so I can hopefully get a quick shot in with either weapon. I wouldn't be able to make it out of the house. Windows would lead to a few broken bones or death. I would just be trapped.

Well first, I'de crap myself. Then considering theyre armed, I'm home alone, and my closest weapons are escrima sticks and my blow gun, opposed to their loaded guns, I'de do anything they wanted. I'm not close to a phone and it'd be hard gettin out of my window so I'de tell them I will do anything they needed me to and as soon as they leave I'de call the police.
This is off-topic but it reminded me of a funny story. My dad lived in North Carolina for a year before moving in with us here in west virginia becase the house wasn't sold yet and we needed to start schol up here. Anyway, we wanted to surprise him so we go down to visit without telling him. And you must know, there were gangs in our area of NC and my dad took karate for many years and is a former green beret. So we go to the house and the door was unlocked, so we open the door and right as we get in my dad is right there in his fighting stance in front of us. He had a killer look on his face like he was ready to do some hurting on an unlucky robber. We laughed about it afterwords and he said if he was any closer to his bedroom he would've gotten the gun. That couldve been bad. Wow that was long, sry if it seems like a waste.

Well, if at this very moment, two armed robbers entered my house... I wouldn't find out until I got home from work. :)
If I had been at home, and on the computer... I wouldn't have time to do anything. The house is small enough and the layout is such that I wouldn't have time or ability to react.
Cell phone is typically kept in the main room... which they would be in, given both outside access doors lead to it, one in front, one through the kitchen. So calling 911 would be out, and I wouldn't have time to call anyway, since they'd be right on me by the time I dialed the first "1".
Use of a firearm is out, as the only firearm I currently own is a heirloom Beretta 950 my grandfather bought while in Rome. .22short If anything, it would deafen an attacker (and me) more than it would kill them. It's under my bed upstairs in a digital safe, unloaded but with four loaded magazines next to it. To be effective as a weapon, I'd have to unload full magazines at each attacker (6 rounds ea) at point-blank range. If I didn't have bills to pay, I would have had my 1911A1 by now, which would be a more effective weapon... but again, wouldn't have access to it unless I was already upstairs.
Use of paintball equipment would be out of the question, as tanks, paint and guns are all kept in the basement and in seperate boxes. Since I currently do not have a way of storing 20 guns with tanks and hoppers installed.
So... overall synopsis... if two armed robbers stormed into my house while I was on the computer... I'd be screwed. So screwed, that even following oreomann's lead of screaming like a little girl wouldn't even be attempted.

Well, there have been "suspicious" people outside of our house before
when I was alone. It was 2 guys in a "Gutter Cleaning"
truck. Our neighbor asked them why they were here, they said they
were called to clean our gutters and gave our address. My
neighbor thought nothing of it and left for work. So I get a call
from my mom and first thing she says is that the police are on the
way. She explained what happened (obviously we didn't call to get
our gutters cleaned). I took my bow with an arrow drawn in it and
ran and got a pistol (I only knew where the beretta was or I would have
grabbed a 1911), loaded it and went back to my room and locked the
door. Nothing happened but thats what I would do if two robbers
came on our property. O yea, my parents think it was because they
heard the dogs barking that they drove away, I mean we have 3 little
dogs and a beagle, but they bark loud.

I think the majority of the time if they see/hear a dog they dont even bother with the house, unlsess they see a clear way around it, ex: the dog is chained up clearly. |
It's true, many, many burglers will pass up houses with dogs. They can find another house, and dogs are potentially dangerours/ a big hassle for them.

I keep a demon summoning ritual prepared for these situations. The house gets a little messy, but generally you can get a lesser imp or something to mop for you later if things don't go wrong sending the big one back.

Depends on where they entered. But there just happens to be a
baseball bat next to me right now. So I'd grab that and go to my
room. If I ran into them on the way I'd proceed to beat them
down. Once in my room I'd grab a knife, my cell phone, then jump
out the window. I'd hide in the bushes and call the cops.
Or I'd run down to the basement, grab a gun, and hold my ground.
Probly the first though.

pick a fight with me, he can throw the first blow. Than it's self
defense, otherwise that person is just all talk.

If you get in a fight at school, no matter who starts it, both gte suspended.
But at home, you're allowed to use as much force as they have, if they have a knife, you canstab them, if they have a gun, youc an shoot them.
Funny thing is, in michigan, if they slip and fall and hurt themselves robbing your house, they can use you...

I'll have to leave out some details in case one of you decides to rob my house but...
1.) Realize that my home has just been invaded and I may be dead by the time police get here.
2.) Grab 40 S&W that's two feet away from me on the left, and cram the telescoping baton next to it my pocket along with an extra mag in other pocket. http://img264.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc001897wz.jpg">
and put this on http://img351.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc002726dt.jpg">
3.) Get female friend sitting next to me on bed watching TV who shoots 3MAO with her garand, to get it from the closet and load. Then put her in the bathroom overwatching the door to the bedroom.
http://img264.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc001959db.jpg">
4.) Lift door to take the weight off the hinges and make it quieter, then open it a crack so that I can look at the tall mirror at the end of the hall and see all the way down out into the livingroom.
5.) If not clear, wait. If clear make way down hall and stop by the breaker box on the way to kill all the power, lights. I know my house better then they do.
6.) After batoning and possibly shooting the thieves they would be restrained with duct tape from the laundry room if still alive. Then go check and see if they have a lookout outside, and take him out.
7.) Put them in my garage and slowly torture them to death for about three days. No one will ever find the bodies, I have a particular hatred for thieves. Or maybe just call the cops and tell them what I am wearing and holster my weapon and hope they don't shoot me.

not kidding when i say this, I've had a few unmarked vans etc. sit outside of my house and wait till both parents leave the house and come up and ring the door bell to see if people are hime. My dog sleeps by the door (you can't see her though) and when they ring, she barks like crazy and they leave. This has happened about 5 times. I'm really glad i have my dog....and a 30-06.

Some people have way too overreactive imaginations.... I would like to know how you people can tell the person breaking in is armed when your at your computer..... and also how you can tell that some cop isnt responding a false alarm call to your house.
The shoot first, ask questions second mentality is complete cow droppings....
Oh... Good Job on shooting the fireman trying to break in and rescue you because your neighbor's house is on fire and yours is about to be engulfed in flames or your downstairs is on fire...

If a cop come in my house they are required to identify themselves, if i see that you have a gun, and you have broken down my door. You are dead.

There you go Hades, that's how you know the exact situation. Besides, cops usually anounce themselves when they break down your door. Many armed home invasions, rare as they are, end in a blood bath in no time.

That about summs it up. Im not going to let some devient steal from me. When i let someone steal from me, and not do anything about it, thats basicaly charity, i already give to charity, im not going to just let someone steal from me because they are poor.

Yes I understand this senerio called for the robbers to be armed, but sitting behind your computer, your not going to know that. All you really know is your sitting at your computer and you hear noises, and possibly voices that are out of the normal to you.
If most home invasions end in blood baths, shouldnt the better choice be to run and get away from the situation? Or are the items in your house really worth having a possible shootout over?

I also find it ironic that your willing to kill someone over your personal property but think it is wrong for someone to "kill" another "being" that doesnt exist yet.

First off I didn't say most end that way, I said many. Two in my city in this last year.
If you want to steal the thread and change the senario away from how the starter described it, I would do things differently.
To get out of the room I am in I would have to go through the main part of the house and risk contact or go through a window (breaking the screen). If I hear something suspicious in my house I am going to go investigate it properly armed... sorry. I would give a verbal challenge for them to identify themselves if it wasn't apparent. But if they meant me harm you better believe I would defend myself to the fullest extent possible.

I wouldn't kill someone over property... you can get it back if all goes well. Defending life is another story. Unless you want to die curled up in a little ball on the floor of your closet.
