if I am stupid enough to run outside into unknown situations the way guys like Tactical Ninja think you should.

could try putting down the wood-grain alcohol and reading my responses accurately:

How do you know where the BG is, or will be? How do you know he doesn't have backup waiting in a shadowy corner of the yard, or around front?
By which I meant - quite plainly, as far as I can see, but maybe others can chime in if that sounds ambivalent somehow (anybody?) - that if someone kicks down your door at 2AM, they aren't necessarily going to enter the house. They might, say, kick in the door, and then
move back out of sight in order to get the drop on you when you step outside to look around and shut and lock the door again.
They might break a window as a diversion, and then come at you from a different window or door, maybe on the other side of the house. They might have a partner
already waiting in a different location to barge in while your attentions are focused elsewhere. They might do any number of things that you obviously haven't given a moment's thought to, because you're perfectly happy to sit on your behind with your fingers in your ears and believe wholeheartedly that your home invasion will go Exactly As Planned.
You've been going around and around in circles for a dozen or more posts now, with not a shred of reason to be found. You're indignant, brash and accusatory in the same breaths as you are whining for people to Get Off Your Case, Man, You Didn't Mean It Like That. You've provoked every negative response. I'm not sure what else you're expecting.

This thread is quickly going down The Low Road. Mods and members alike.
Being that our hero continues to defy the vast amouns of logic being flung his way, it probably won't be long before Dave throws his hands up in exasperation and locks the miserable thing down. Grab a soda and some popcorn and watch the fireworks, we don't get many OPs of this... caliber
in here - enjoy it while you can.
Internet: it's serious business.
