Had it happen.
Intruder trying to break down a door was greeted by me with SW 686.

I think that...
Riley the wonder dog barks his fool head off if anyone even come up our walkway and I am thoroughly convinced that if someone got in he would make their lives fairly miserable or at least hold them at bay until I could do the same
took my bedroom window out with a Daisy BB gun and then later in life sold a 686, MkII, Mossy 500 and 10/22 baecasue I needed the cash (I should have sold a kidney instead)
