Ok Kalrog, you're being difficult.

With all of the packages in your arms, you.....
(pick one)
a. dropped your cell phone in the parking lot and broke it
b. knocked it off your belt clip and broke it
c. wore a hole in your pocket and it dropped and broke
d. don't tell me you have it on a lanyard!

Substitue back door for front door and substitute kitchen for entry table.

Not to start a whole dogs thread, but I once had neighbors with a dog so bad they replaced all of the glass along the front of their house with plexiglass because it was busting out the glass to get to the mailman.

Sure enough, they were burglarized. People can outwit an animal. If not, oven cleaner takes them out pretty quick.

After reading Steves "Another Interesting Incident" I thought of the possibility of the following scenario happening. How would you handle it?

SCENARIO

You come home from a long day of Christmas shopping. It's around 9 pm. You walk in the back door and set your packages, cell phone and keys down on the kitchen table. You head down the hallway towards the bathroom and hear a noise coming from a bedroom.

You cautiously enter the bedroom with your weapon drawn and come upon a burglar rifling through the drawers. He doesn't appear to be armed and is surprised by you. You order him to the ground and after several requests, he complies.

He remains on the ground, but is verbally threatening you. It's easy to see that he is much stronger and larger than you are. You live alone and the nearest phone is either in the kitchen down the hallway or the master bedroom upstairs.

What do you do?
