Great food for thought, all.
Re: the Hunt or Hunker thing. The way my floor plan / family is situated, even a full-on door kicking scenario is going to, at a minimum, have me posted up in my wrong-handed bedroom door to deny access down the bedroom hallway. On a side note, folks (not in this thread) who say you should never go hunting simply are not being realistic. I would wager there are a lot more ambiguous bumps that need checking, gun in hand, than, "Oh my, I have a home invader!" scenarios that would make simply hunkering down the obvious call. That said, there are a ton of variables that come into play when making that call.
Ya'll have me thinking that, for me, simply running the action, maybe combined with a hearty, "Get Outta My House!!" might be a good way to go.
