Leave my bedroom?
I have no kids, it's just me. I'm not leaving my bedroom. The bad guy is welcome to my TV and dishes. If he comes through my bedroom door, he gets a face full of Mossberg 500.

.45 SA Champion, extra 10 round magazine, with my CCW .357 magnum for a backup. Winchester 1300 in the bedroom for my wife to use if the BG gets past me.

Years ago when I lived in a appartment I heard someone trying to force my front dood open. I hade time to open the safe and take my pick. Mossberg was my choice. I went to the door and racked the slide. Don't know if he had faced a shotgun before, or suddenly got religion but he ran like Tiki Barber

LEAVE MY BEDROOM!?!?!?!
Are you kidding???
Too many movies and Super-cop TV shows
I am staying in my bedroom (the door is always locked prior to lights-out).
SW1911 and SIG P225 are trained on that same locked door.
911!If he comes in...his problem/mistake. If they don't police can have him.
I will never leave a position of tactical superiority unless I am forced to (those of you who have kids may have to) in favor of doing the crap you see on TV...stupid!
Blessings,

Benelli M1S90 “Tactical” W/ Insight M3X Light, 8 rounds #1 buck.
I’ve shot it a lot, trust it, and after duck/goose hunting with its big brother my SBE for seven seasons, I’m very familiar with its operating system.
I figure if there’s more than one guy, 8 shots will give me a fighting chance to make it to the gun safe.

Unless I have a damn good reason to do a house search it simply ain't going to happen. That reason better be a child or something to that effect.
Other then that I am in my bedroom with my wife, with a piece of furniture in front of a locked door. 911 is on the cell phone.
My wife is covering the only entrance with a Benelli Nova stoked with 7 rounds of 00 buck.
I am covering the only entrance with a Remington 870 Tactical Magnum, Surefire frontend and 8 rounds of 00 buck.
To our backs are several loaded handguns, two additional loaded 12 gauges, a couple AR15s and an M1A scout. Nothing is getting through that door alive the amount of fire that could be put on that small area would be spectacular to say the least.
The reality is we sit on the phone with 911, talk the cops in. Give them a code word, drop the house keys out the window to them when they get here and let them handle the house search and intruder, they have the training and more importantly the backup with training.
One dark evening, take an unloaded gun or air gun and a flashlight and do an house search. You will be amazed at the amount of nooks and crannys that you could be ambushed from.

For your stated reasons I KNOW theres someone ransacking my house, I will go outside my bedroom to get my family, and thats it. My house is configured so that only the bedrooms are upstairs, the kitchen, living room and everything else is downstairs. So, everything that will keep the BG's busy will be downstairs.
To go get my family, I'd most likely just have my Colt Government. Then I'm retreating back to my bedroom which is the farthest point away from the house. Waiting back at my bedroom is my 870. I'll let the PD clear my house for me.

Leave the bedroom to go into the rest of our home? Extremely unlikely. Susan covers the bedroom door with a .12ga coach gun (Desert Eagle and two reloads on the bed, waiting, next to the 1 million cp cordless spotlight, 1911 in her Miami Classic).
Verify presence of additional goblins, vehicle, etc. Open line to 911 if phone reamins functional - otherwise, take emergency channel on EMS pac-set.
Secondary stratedies dependent on development from there. Ready second .12ga, second .44mag, position to cover/defend.

A mop and a bucket. To clean up the blood and guts that my 4 dogs have left strewn all over the floor.

I'm not leaving br till LEOs arrive. Stay put, cover known entrance w 357, while darlin W calls 911. Years ago read of a training scenario with national fast draw champs were timed / graded during a "sleep over" simulation event. Basically, those who gave up concealment lost. I'm staying put. bg doesn't know where I am, I know where doorway is. Itty bitty plug in nite lights abound & backlight anyone in doorways. Downstairs stuff is repalcable, bg forefits life when headed upsatairs.

My house is pretty small, so basically, I'd prefer to not leave my bedroom, but I can see most of the house by peeking out of the doorway. I have my Kimber CDP and my XD-40 with 2-12 round mags as backup. My wife has her P230 if the BG gets past me. I also have my lab and my Pug. I'd be more scared of the Pug cause the Lab will just lick the BG to death, while the pug goes for the ankles/knees.
As an aside I was awakened to same banging around the night after Valentine's. Woke up the wife, got my Kimber and let the dogs out........ only to find the mylar ballon I got for my wife getting knocked around by the fan and bouncing some stuff off the shelves. That'll get the blood pumping at 3AM!!!

I'd wait with my 12 gauge till things quiet down or the cops arrive. I'd make sure to call my dogs into the bedroom so the wouldn't accidently kill the cops as well.
