A criminal breaks into your home...

[SailorMan]

I have my Louisville Slugger next to my bed, and an old French Gras Bayonet thats like 3 feet long on my dresser. I'd grab one of the two, jump into the laundry basket in my closet to hide, call the cops/text/ contact ANYONE that could help, then get ready for him to open the closet door.

In reality: hide in closet while he walks up to you while you stand there with a pocketknife going "I R HURTD U".
Also cool you're a member of a athletic association? http://nhaa.leaguetoolbox.com/league/

Not quite bud, I gave up on sports a year ago, I go to a gym/ jog/ rock climb
Me an my friends simulate this kind of stuff without each other knowing a lot, I've gotten over the flight in fight or flight behavior.

But your right, I would be scared, I think anyone would be... But fear is the only real enemy you have. If you have nothing to fear then you can think perfectly clear and your odds of survival increase ten-fold.

You still shouldn't bring a knife to a gun fight though :I

seeing as this is literally useless for any robber with a gun, it makes no difference.

any robber would have shot you in the head before you could pull that out and hit him in the temple.

i wouldn't have to do anything


he could trip over all the stuff in my house and die

hide in my closet with my phone

like a normal person

[Steve5452]

Doesn't that mean wearing no clothes...?

It means you're wearing no undies.

[Heitmeyers]

Me I have a pocket knife so I might be able to sneak stab him but would most likely fail and I'd get shot.

Same. So...

I would probably...Gosh, there are so many things I want not stolen. If there wasn't, I'd just go outside with a phone and call 9-1-1. I'm really not sure.

I have a skate board, i would die

I would (not joking):
Say "Hello there you must be thirsty after breaking that window. Would you like a glass of water?"
Go to the kitchen call police come back with a glass of water.
Start a conversation with him.
Then tell him when we can here sirens "I called the police, shooting me will do no good since I asked if they could bring a ambulance."
The end.
I could get sho anywhere in between please note.

except shooting you will do good because it's what you'd get for being silly

[Bisjac]

why would you want to delay and have him hang around longer if he was armed and dangerous?

[Yosher]

um nope dont think thatd work :[

no but your thing would most certainly work

[Shell]

He would probably shoot me instead of saying yes

fixed

i dunno what people in the UK do or what the laws are.
i imagine them letting crime happen since no one has guns and they love calling the police.

in the US we are allowed to shoot people who break in as long as we "feel threatened".
we dont need to say anything, we dont need them to have stolen anything yet, we dont need to KNOW if they are armed or not.
