Just my girlfriend and I living alone, no dog. Cap cod house, but the master is downstairs. We are in MD and you only protect yourself if deadly force is threatened on you, and there is no way to readily retreat. My plan if there home invasion while we are sleeping is this:
I grab XD40 out of nightstand, move to secure the only door, lock it then back up. GF moves to closet for Rem 870, sits ...
Warning shot? Forget that. Why give away your tactical advantage? Get a security system, it will wake you and make the case that they knew they had been detected.

while on the phone with 911 Dispatch, don't hang up. Stay on the line in case shots are fired, it'll be on tape in case the DA investigates.

I heard never stay on the phone. If you do fire, it will most likely be used to harm you. Saying you didn't give enough warning or did something wrong.
but sometime audio record from that call can be use as a evidence that you are really in danger and you are trying to stop the BG.
Just say "PLEASE DONT HIT ME" then shot the BG" lolz
Staying on the phone is the same a telling the police everything after you have been read your rights. Why give the police, a DA or a jury material to second guess your every move? "Couldn't you have given him just one more warning?" is not what an anti-gun member of your jury needs to hear.

stopped reading after the "warning shot".... I have said it before, the only warning shot a BG gets from me is the snap of the safety... thats all the warning they deserve .....
Well the laws must be very different from state to state. We were taught to deflate the BG (meaning aim for the chest) and to keep shooting until they were no longer a threat. Now the question was raised " does that mean we shoot to kill"? And the answer was in so many words yes. The example given was this, there was an incident were a guy was in his bed sleep and was awakened by a noise he heard downstairs. This guy...
