If you let them steal your sofa they will just come back and steal the other one. Shoot that MFER!!!!!!I think there are multiple variables that need to be determined before most can say what they would use. The biggest being how the residence is set up. Are there people spread throughout the residence? Is the boogie man trying to kick in the front door, or is he already inside. Have a plan. My plan at night is the wife calls 911. The bedroom door is always locked. I have two fully loaded shotguns in a concealed positioned and the wife has an out of the way hiding spot. I let boogie man know he’s gonna get hurt if he comes in and wait for the po-po. Ain’t nothin worth stealing outside my bedroom, and I’m insured. Also, ain’t nothin worth killing for outside my bedroom. So if someone wants to steal my sofa in the middle of the night, have at it. I can always get another.
