It seems that some members here seem to imply that if you have no formal training then you are not a very effective home defender, but how much does this training come into play into a realistic HD scenario? It would seem me that if these conditions are met the average man who is determined to protect or die for his family or merely to protect himself will do as good as an individual can reasonably be expected to:
1. Have a way of recognizing if there is an intruder,which could be as simple as a dog who is inclined to bark.
2. Have quick access to a firearm
3. Know how the firearm functions(at the vast majority of HD ranges you don't need to be good at aiming,indeed at most such ranges pointing would suffice)
4. Know the legal situation where they live
5. Know where your loved ones are and where you would prefer to make a stand.
Most hd scenarios to me seem to hinge upon whether the home owner can recognize the threat quicky enough and whether they have a firearm with them.
