EDIT - Ok, you changed it to my standard.  And the answer is that I don't know.  I personally recognize that people who are put in situations where they must make life or death decisions aren't infallible despite rigorous training.  So I don't KNOW what I'd do, unlike a lot of people who are supremely confident that they'd wipe the floor with any intruder and feel awesome for doing so.

Honestly, the scenario that someone comes into my home with the mindset that he/she is very willing to kill me is right up there in likelihood of what I'd do if I won the lottery or which supermodel I'd most want to sleep with.  And that gets back to my original point about Americans...we spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about life or death situations with evil strangers that almost never happen.  Meanwhile we drive too fast, eat too many trans fats, and don't own fire extinguishers or learn CPR.

Easy answers are for the moves and television...oh and political talking points.

Yeah, it seems I changed it as you were typing.

I personally think anyone who breaks into your residence, business, ect.. is willing to kill you; they've already shown a disregard for you and the law so you pick your lottery numbers tonight.

Of course there's folks out there that view themselves as Charles Bronson (Bruce Willis for the younger folks), but I'd say they are more rare than the person that breaks into your property who is willing to do what is required to complete his/her task.

I do appreciate your answer and I accuse many in here of participating in group think. I do not lump you in with those folks. I consider you more WTFthink.
