I should have said that only my wife and I are there now, and we would be in the back bedroom if it is late. I thought long and hard about this before deciding. After alarm, silent or otherwise (we have a silent button in the bedroom, and a cell phone programed for the constable, who arrive in less than 3 minutes), I would cover the hall and wait for the LEO to arrive. Then, I would work my way to the front door to let him or her in to "clear" the house. To each his own, though.Purplehood wrote:

A few years ago, this forum molded my sense as to what I would do in a case like yours. Stay in the house and wait for the LEOs. Don't even go in my own yard after hearing a noise outside. I won't even go to another part of the house if I hear a noise there. Just stay in the bedroom with boss and weapons after alarm or call for help. I didn't use to think that way, but am convinced now that that is what I should do. Cover the hallway. Period.

If I think someone is in the house, I am going to do something about it. I am not holing-up because I heard noises. I do agree about going outdoors though, but I would have to consciously remind myself not to do it. My first impulse would be to go out and investigate.
Ditto. I would also be a much better golfer if I wouldn't go for it all the time. Too much of that "Tin Cup" syndrome.
