The video I have for you this week demonstrates what you could be up against if you ever hear your burglar alarm sound in the middle of the night and go looking for the bad guys.<\/p>\n
Understand that the most sound advice I can give you should you believe there are burglars in your home is to grab your gun, call 911, hunker down behind some cover in your bedroom (something that will stop a bullet), and wait for them to come to you. <\/p>\n
If they force their way into your bedroom, and you feel you are in immediate danger of death or serious bodily injury, shoot to stop them.<\/p>\n
If something should compel you to leave your bedroom and go find the intruders, you are placing yourself at a risky disadvantage. You will need to employ proper tactical movement techniques to give yourself any chance of an advantage, especially against multiple intruders in your home. This is why we teach principles of tactics in our four day courses. <\/p>\n
Upon moving through your home, should you see an armed intruder pointing a gun at you, what should you do?<\/p>\n
As a universal rule of thumb, if your opponent has the ability (a gun) and the opportunity (is close enough to use it) and shows the intent (he has invaded your home and is pointing the gun at you) to seriously injure or kill you, then you are justified in defending yourself with lethal force and YOU SHOULD SHOOT.<\/p>\n
With that understanding, watch this video that was captured by a security camera in the home and decide what you would have done.<\/p>\n
Remember, you must make the decisions on whether or not you would shoot in such a scenario BEFORE you are placed in a similar one because when the time comes, and it is for real, you won’t have the time to think about it. Any hesitation on your part could cost you your life.<\/p>\n
