100% agree with the advantage and disadvantages of home owner vs. intruder. Tried to explain this to friends many times. In addition, they probably don't know the layout of your house, in the dark. If you're smart you'll be well covered with a better vantage point on them should they be stupid enough to seek you out, as opposed to just grabbing the flat panel TV from the living room and running.

Yep, shotgun ideal for home defense too. Not to belabor the point, but if some nut some years from now tries a similar incident by walking into a school with one or more shotguns, you know what the next legislative initiative will be like, right?
