Most intruders aren't there on a mission to do battle with you and take you out anyways, usually just after your stuff or your woman.

I need to get myself another gun here soon, I miss all mine. About a year ago I had stalker finally break into my apt and disarm me of all my guns (real AND fake! wtf?) before I woke up with him right over me....
He got away, I was afraid he'd come back, & the gun never recovered either, so I picked up the first thing I could afford at the moment which was a lil Keltec P32. I loved how it could hide in my back jeans pocket unnoticed, but I'm really into high-accuracy target practice and this thing was so short (purely for Pers. Protect.) it was crap over 30yards, so I recently sold it to get something I'd be more happy with all around. Unfortunately I've since begun channeling all incoming funds towards a stuntbike so I am a lil nervous about the lapse in protection. I did move & change my name however, so at least I'm not as worried about the same guy anymore.
