So the people using lights, are you say you're going to go looking for the intruder?
I've wondered what I'd do... Part of me says stay put, call 911 and point the muzzle at the door and wait
This may have been answered, but:
You live in a large farm house with four, five, or so, additional loved ones within the structure, in different rooms. And say you wake to an intruder and gunfire in the house? Say you are armed with your wife and your children are not?? In my mind, I'm thinking active shooter, and I'm going toward the gunfire. Many scenarios I can think of where the need to push will outweigh the need to hunker down.
