We have done "what if an intruder comes in" threads here and I have even been involved in a few of these debates. I looked and couldn't really come up with anything on what to do if you are not sure whats going on.
I mean there may be cases where the door is getting kicked in and you know what is happening, but what about the "cat" burglar, or could it just be the cat?
I couldn't justifiy hearing something im not sure of and waking the wife, her grabbing my daughter (6 months old) out of her crib (in our room) and getting down on the floor on the other side of the bed, just to realize snow slid off the roof and landed on the picnic table.
We have totes of books and 2 2x6 boards under the bed for cover and she has a .357 mag on her side, so we are covered if we know for sure. I also would not leave the room and we both would have our weapons trained on the bedroom door, "IF" I knew for sure what was going on.
Then again, what if you take it lightly and let them sleep, go check it out to run smack dab into an armed intruder taking light steps. Or you just lay there and try to go back to sleep then your bedroom door squeaks open?
At what point do you distiguish false alarms from the real deal?
