[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 3053859, member: 423"] My thought is that if they are trying to enter - key being they haven't yet - I will give a warning. I'd much rather they not break in in the first place. Plus, identifying the target, [I][B]and [/B][/I]what's behind it, will be more difficult. Once they are in, the only warning I plan on giving is a tac light coming on for long enough to identify them before the flash. Quick scenario on why I decided to ALWAYS use a tactical light inside: Good friend of mine heard something go *bump* in the night. He grabs his gun, and goes to investigate the noise in the living room. He had the gun aimed at the intruder before he turned a light on and realized it was his daughter sleep walking. He told me that was a rude awakening to the fact his lack of household plan needed to change right away. I've done what I can to deter entry and alert myself if entry is made: I have an alarm and locked doors. If someone does come in, I want to continue the home court advantage with a bright light to give me time to make sure I need to shoot before I do. Short version, I *plan* on doing everything possible to avoid shooting someone. Giving a verbal warning isn't necessarily part of that plan. [/QUOTE]
