(1st post!)

As I've read all these scenarios, I know I'd be more inclined to confront if PD was not available. Reading more into it, I think the creative solution is the right one COMBINED with a call to PD saying "my alarm is going off with many people I do not recognize surrounding my car." Then insert a Joe Horn statement here that "I'm armed & will defend my property as needed".

That will surely get a faster PD response, right? You don't necessarily confront, but you get a resolution.

The only problem I see with this is that you've told the 911 dispatcher that you are armed and prepared to shoot. If you end up shooting someone, a lawyer can argue it was premeditated.
