Just saw on the news that a local fellow (~65 years old) had a 16 year old kid break through his basement door. The home owner was in the kitchen. As he had yet to wash the dishes, he grabbed a frying pan and knocked the kid bloody as he came up the basement stairs.

In that situation, wonder what you'd grab to protect yourselves? Lot's of folks, myself including, have a club or bat near their bed. Think we'd use em? Or would some just run out of the house to a neighbors?

Although we all could escape out windows, I would really hope that I would be willing to head to the area of danger and confront the intruder(s). At least to give the family a chance to get free. My protection would be a broken maul handle as my guns are safely tucked away in the cellar!
