I disagree, for the simple reason that “hunting for criminals” is far riskier than letting them come to you.
Tactically, I would prefer to be at the end of an unlit hallway, mostly inside a room, aiming up from the floor. From this position there is almost no way for them to enter the other end of that hallway safely, unless they have hand grenades.
Typically, they will enter the other end at 75-100% erect, looking and aiming for a target at about the same height. And if they’re really dense, they will try to come in tight around the wall, which doubly fails because I will see them before they see me, and bullets can pass through most interior, non-brick walls. Even when they see me aiming up at them, they still have an awfully long delay before they can aim lower effectively.
Even if they take their time coming to me, I can be patient, because every sound they make will increase my advantage.
If I have pests, I call the exterminator. If I need my house “cleared”, I call the cops. If I want to take out an armed robber, I want to do so on my terms.
Many gun ranges now have the capability to come to your home and film it and then put you in a simulator to see the best ways to clear your house. Ala Star Trek Halodeck.
I am also an advocate of active closure. I am certain we do not see eye to eye on that either.
I guess we agree to disagree. Hope neither of us have to experience a home invasion or burglary.
