So I would stab the intruder in my boxers while screaming what a thrill

There's an intruder in your boxers?

Yeah your mom boom roasted

I have a drawer full of sharp/bludgeoning objects right next to my bed for this exact scenario. Knives, pipes, a hammer, razor blades, etc.
---

since I live in a country without moronic gun laws, the chances of this home intruder having a gun would be pretty slim. It would depend on how he reacts when I find him.
---

I would tell him that I am not satisfied with this, and because of that I'd tip him only 5%.

i keep a reverse-blade katana near my bed so if any intruders come by and i can activate my sharingan and break all their bones

Lmao, you people are so cringey. Is everyone in this thread 14? If someone broke into your place with a gun, and you didn't have one...your ass would do whatever the fuck that criminal wanted until he left. Realistically, you'd only fight if you had a really good opening to strike without getting yourself and/or your loved ones killed.

Let's see, a knife or a baseball bat. It would be murdering the asshole but if there's an intruder and I don't got a gun.
---

Live in a place where I don't live in constant fear that someone's going to break into my house
---

Seduce them
---

realistically i dont have anything of value and i dont really care. the idea that you can just blow off some dude's head is the exact same as that 15 year old in your social studies class going "dude if that happened to me i wouldve kicked his ass"

like i dunno man i lock my doors and i live in a safe neighborhood. also i dont want to deal with that legal mess and also clean up a giant blood splatter.

these hands
---

Don't have many valuables anyway. I also have three dogs so hopefully they could scare him off despite wielding a gun.

Id pull out my dick and threaten to shoot

You vastly underestimate how fragile the human body is. Hide behind a wall and cut their jugular or femoral and they're done. Knife through the eye works too. Basically, any home intruder is secretly allowing me to fulfill a desire I've had for a long time, and that is to kill a person like themselves. Someone who deserves it. Essentially, they're giving me what I want.

Throw my cat at him probably.

Everyone who mentions their weapons/martial arts: firearms are long-range weapons. Do you have the Long-range Materia attached to those weapons?
---

I'd attack with whatever's near me. If the intruder breaks in when they know someone is home, I don't think they intend to just take valuables. I'd take my chances even if they are low. If nothing else the gun shots would alert the neighbors and might cause them to flee.
---

My apartment is all close range. Cut the lights and use one of my knives hope for best. You don't know if they will shoot if you surrender or not

This assumes that the guy with the gun can see through walls. No one is suggesting a direct confrontation. Sneaking up on them and going for vitals is the way to go. If you can get them right at the base of the neck, you could sever or damage the brain stem. Or, buy some hydrochloric acid from a chemical supply store and throw it in their face as they come around a corner.

Buddy, my house has a gun.
But if he did get my house and I didnt have a gun, he still has to get pass the war hounds
---

Alarm panic button.
---

I have a collection of swords.

I collected them before it was a neckbeard thing.
---

I would run if I could, and call the cops. If I can't run then I'm gonna try to catch them off guard and take the gun

idk

The chances of me being invaded AND getting the jump on the perp are low enough that I never even think about it. If it happens, events will transpire in the heat of the moment. Having a gun wouldn't make me any more prepared as it's hard to practice for a once in a lifetime surprise or for taking life.

We are trained for hand to hand combat for certain situations.

So many internet tough guys in this topic. If they have a gun and you don't, your ass is grass.

Not 100%, no. You're lying to yourself if you think it's impossible to kill someone without a gun. Hydrochloric acid in the face will fuck anyone up, gun or not.

They would be dead from all of my Home Alone style traps that I set up every night. One paint can to the head and they're gone.

I didn't say it's impossible. I'm saying the odds are stacked severely against you. And how do you think you'll get HCL on their face before you they put a bullet in face? Dude busts into your house with a gun pointed at you. You go hold on let me get my HCL. Then you throw the HCL which moves faster than a speeding bullet?

That's one scenario. Another is they break in, start making noise, which wakes me up (I'm a light sleeper, wouldn't take much), and I hide behind a wall, waiting for them with the acid in my hands. Can't shoot when your face is literally melting off.

Do you literally have acid laying in your bedroom for home intruders? And what if it's not an intruder? What if it's someone you know who forgot their keys?

I do actually, along with knives, steel pipes, hammers, and other improvised weapons (thermite if I want to go nuts). And no one besides me has a key to my apartment.

Where do you live? The Bronx lol

No, a safe neighborhood in a rural area of MN. I just don't take any chances. You want to break in with a gun, I want to make sure I'm ready to make you regret it.

Better to fight and give myself a 1% chance of survival than do nothing and get killed for sure. Why would I expect a home intruder armed with a gun to play nice? I'll take my chances fighting, however slim they may be.
---

I walk with a cane, so I already have a weapon right next to me. I sleep on the ground floor of my two story house, so my children are safe. I turn off all lights at night, so I have the advantage of darkness, and being able to easily navigate in that darkness. Add to that specialized military training, martial arts training, and the facts that I will be extremely pissed off, protecting my children, and that despite being disabled, I'm still huge and very strong, there is a very high chance that I will get the drop on him, and I won't waste my one shot before he can fire at me. It does not bode well for the intruder.

But I don't have to worry because I'm armed, and so is my wife.

I have a harpoon gun. It is incredibly lethal.
---

If I have the chance I will escape through our open window in our guest room. I ain't finna die for my possessions. I have insurance anyway

If I had a family however then I would have to find a way to get them to safety. Maybe comfront him as they escape

I actually though about rigging the HCL and Thermite into traps, but automation just increases the risk that I kill someone innocent (acid) or burn down the building (thermite). I still have the knives/scalpel and the hammer and pipe at the ready though (I pull out the drawer they are in before bed so there's no need to fumble with it in the case of a break in).

As if we needed any more evidence that you seriously need psychiatric help. Please get it.
