A criminal breaks into your home...

[Ben Grapevine]

I would grab my handgun and disable him.

Offer him my most prized posession in return for him to leave while I cower in fear.

i bet the blade is made out of crappy chinese sheet steel which will probably break if you take a swing at anything.

Everyone thinks they'd go hardass and break their skull with a bat, but in reality you would see the gun, stuff yourself, and cry.

This. But the way I said is actally realistic.

Silently exit the house with a phone. Call 911. If they have a car, give the plate. See if its unlocked, take the keys, and leave. Police will either have the car, the name of the person, the address, or will be at your house guns drawn.

Epic Ninja:
Pull out my 9 mm Glock and Baseball bat and take cover somewhere I can surprise him, first I shoot him in the shoulder then knock him out with my bat, then call 911.
Reality:
Get my Glock and Bat try and be a ninja and get shot in the head.

In reality:

Grab your airsoft gun and foam bat and try to defend against a real gun and another foam bat

Somebody in my family would shoot him and call the cops. Problem solved.

Not really no, lol. Maybe the city slickers and government dependents, sure, but pretty much everyone where I live owns a gun and would royally forget up a criminal's day with it.

I have a machete unsheathed on my desk. I would wait behind a doorway and slash at his head while he's walking through. I assume it's dark, since people don't break into occupied houses during the day.

[Isjix]

it is really hard to get in through the windows of my house so you'd make alot of noise doing so + windows are high up
I could get my 38 special before he gets in

[ShadowYoshi294]

I have a pair of scissors near me. I suppose I could try to stab him before he shoots me.
