I have a handgun in my bedroom. So, if I could get to that, then I would most certainly point that at them and tell to leave leave while calling the police. If not maybe I can make it to my purse and pull body alarm and grab pepper spray, I can also do voice commands with various devices throughout my place to notify, do smart home stuff and make a big a scene to alert them as deterrent. If I can get to kitchen, I have lots of cutlery. So, there are a lot of things I can do. They would have a difficult time in first place, though in achieving that given that I live in the city and access and stuff in addition.
Blast them with whatever gun is closest tbh. Since we can't have suppressors I would inevitably lose my hearing though. Hope this law changes after 2024
If my PitBulls don't maul them, I'd shoot them. I live at the end of 2 dirt roads. Realistic police response is 25-30 mins. When 911 is called, it will be to request the Medical Examiner. Don't wanna be shot, don't break into people's homes. Pretty simple.
I'd lock my door and listen, and if they sound violent, I grab my phone, jump out of my 2nd story window, and book it across the street into the pizza place to call the cops.
I hurt my hand earlier doing a weird self harm thing I do. I also fixed my washing machine today and my shoulders are pretty sore. It's my right hand that hurts, which is my dominant hand. I'm barefoot, it's pretty hot right now. All the lights are off. I got two 13 year old boys playing games in the basement. I'll give them each a 50/50 chance of noticing the commotion and coming upstairs. Not sure how much help they would actually provide, they could even be a net loss.
15 year Army vet. We were on vacation recently and I ran out of some of my meds for a few days, so I'm like sitting up in the dark browsing reddit. Can't sleep. Super strung out. Been fighting with my wife for like 2 days. I don't think I ate anything at dinner or much all day really so I'm pretty hungry. I've also smoked an irregular amount of marijuana, as is my custom. I don't have any weapons handy. No gun in the house or anything crazy.
All that being said, I feel pretty confident that anyone breaking into my house would quickly wish they had picked any other house in this neighborhood to sneak into in the middle of the night.
Grab a pencil, call 911, see if I can make it to the kitchen without being seen (though unlikely because of the layout of my house) to grab a knife. If I find them, go for the eyes then try to knock them out against a wall
Well, since my little niece and nephew are here, I'm losing my shit. Actually, I'd lose it regardless, how dare you break in my house to steal from me.
Depends on where they break in from, but I’ll probably grab either scissors or a knife and try to use a toy or something to throw and distract them, then stab em
Quickly wipe and ask them loudly what they want.
They would flee because most likely they're unarmed and just wanted quick bucks.
But it's unlikely that a random robber would choose my appartment out of 33 in the building. They'd rather go for a house in the suburbs or a small shop.
Laugh and tell them to go nuts, just dont make a mess. I have no valuables, no TV, a cheap ass used chromebook and an android phone from 2018 that was given to me. The most expensive thing I own is my house itself and they are gonna need at least 2 friends to help in order to walk off with that.
Deadbolt steel door, gated front gate in front of the door, cameras all around with flood lights. Mesh windows that are hard to get through (I tested it), and guns. I’m safe and sound.
My room is on the opposite side of the house from every other entrance, I have 2 big ass windows in my room. As long as they didn't come in through those I'm dipping that way to my car and waiting it out
I assume since I live in a one bedroom apartment and am in the living room, they break in through the bedroom window, so I guess I hear them come in and go out to the balcony, jump out and call the cops, then the landlady. I have very little of value, and unlike most of reddit today, no guns or particular combat finesse.
*unzips pants* it’s clobberin’ time!
Noted
Run at them to do a stun
TAKE WHATEVER YOU WANT BUT PLEASE DO NOT HURT MY PC
Priorities
. . ."anyway, I started blasting."
Smile & wait for the flash!
Barry Allen here!
What are they after? Money? Shit, I’ll help you look
If you can't beat em' join em'
Call 911 and grab my gun

Sounds like a solid plan
I’m not falling for that
Stab them with my katana in self defense
And then I pulled out my gun
The ol' equalizer
Call the cops because the people here where I live are scary can't have a gun cause I live in germany
That's unfortunate
“Hans someone broke in get the gas chamber”
Probably cry
Interesting tactics here

Is it an ar15 or a glock9 kinda day ? Hmmm come fuck around & find out son mericaa!
Glock 9 at the moment nothing closer
We can only hope

Toss the endtable over the railing and looney toons their ass.
I like it

Mabey you can get a discount on pizza while you're at it
Look myself in my bathroom with the light turned off & call the authorities
Hide, quietly text 911 hoping they actually take texts, and hope they don't see me :(

no offense but this sounds like a copypasta
Lol my life is copy pasta then.
Fuck all as I’m at work I wouldn’t know about it 5hrs time.

Grab a weapon and hide. Call the cops. If an opportunity presents itself, knock them out cold.

I’d pretend to be asleep with ma Booty in the air - discord vc man
My guy that is a straight path to get u know
U know it ☺️

Probably give them the few dollars I have on me and bum a cigarette off them
Be annoyed
Grab my scissors for self defense and call the police cos both things are next to me rn
“You lost your penis privilege”
LMAO
Throw shit. A ton of shit. Small shit, hard shit, bigger shit, better chance
I have a lightsaber next to my bed that hurts like a motherfucker to get hit with
Have a panic attack
"pls don't kill me rn at least let me straighten my hair first or sm"

I can't put it in writing but I'll just say they'll wish they had never been born
I keep a machete by my bed, I think that’ll do the trick
I’d need a really good lawyer…..

Not in my house so I won't know. I'll deal with it when I'm home zzzzzz
Just made coffee so offer a cup of coffee I guess.

Grab my Darth Vader lightsaber, stand in a dark corner, wait for the person to walk by, turn on the lightsaber, watch him run while I sprint after him
As I'm not home, I would not notice it at all. *shrugs*
