I've been holding my tounge on this topic but it's serious discussion going on and thought I'd add my opinion / advice.
and they unload it. Might have been in the day, but that was not what I was trained at the LACSD training facililty when I was working out there. I got so chewed out during a live fire on the move training drill for emptying my weapon and all my magazines. The instructor got nose to nose with me and shouted, with real spit flying "there's three more bad guys in bushes, now what are ya gonna do". That has stuck with me for years, maybe it was his breath that left the impression.
Or maybe your intruder has a buddy you don't see?
If our readers don't know this man, they should, and buy his home defense book, join a range and practice... a lot. Get additional training and read about the legal ramifications of using deadly force, even if it was justified. During one of my classroom training sessions, the instructor drilled it into our heads to always look for a way out instead of firing your weapon. The decision to fight or flight is a very important decision and can and will come up during the court proceedings that could change your life forever. This talk is serious stuff and the family of the perpetrator can sue the shooter for wrongfull death even if leathal force was justified by the DA. The jury will decide your fate, the attourneys will empty your pockets defending you.
Leo's have the legal force of the Dept. and the City or County backing them up. Law abiding citizens are on their own. Don't look to the NRA for calling in the cavelry either.
