There was a case of a burglar breaking into a house's skylight. He fell through the skylight and landed on the kitchen counter which had a stack of knives on it. He landed square on these knives which stuck him pretty badly. He sued and won for damages.
screw the wounding crap...aim for the head. if they are still alive they can sue you.
myself, i have 3 attack cats that will put the hurt on any unwelcome intruders.
I'd turn the light on and make some noise. The vast majority of house intruders are there to steal stuff ansd have zero desire to come face to face with me and will bugger off. In the spectacularly unlikely event that someone invades my house and stays knowing I'm awake, I'll grab something swingable, shove something heavy in front of the bedroom door and ring the cops.SEREMAKER wrote:

Would you go for lethal or non-lethal

Sorry, no command to stop. I keep a pump action shotgun near the bed with the chamber empty. I figure the sound of me chambering a round is enough warning. If he can make it out of the house before I find him, no sweat. Gone is good too. I am not that bloodthirsty.RAIMIUS wrote:
Man, there are some GREAT shooters here! I'm impressed that you are so confident in your ability to shoot someone exactly where you want, in a split second, at night, just after waking up. /sarcasm
Me?
1. If possible, turn on a light, and stay put (no others in the home to worry about)
2. COMMAND the intruder to stop.
3. If advanced upon/otherwise threatened, fire at COM until threat stops.
(When possible, alert the police)
