One small question Stuart.

If you can read the guys mind well enough to KNOW he's not planning to do you any harm, why don't you just set the items he wants on the porch so he doesn't have to come inside?

If someone is entering your house uninvited, you can be certain they don't have your best interests at heart. Even if they only PLAN to take your money and valuables, plans change, especially in the adrenaline charged environment of a robbery.

If you can cower in a back room where you won't be seen, thats fine. Odds are you won't be hurt, but if you have children or a wife, the time it takes to gather them up and escort them to the cower corner is time you're exposing yourself and them to discovery.

Fear makes people do unexpected and often irrational things, like attack the source of the fear. If the criminal sees you escorting your brood, odds are just as good he's going to attack you as they are he's going to flee.

If you enter my home uninvited, you've signed your death warrant. After I put several .45 caliber holes in your chest and head, I'm going to have a shaking session that keeps me from dialing the phone lasting just long enough to assure you've stopped breathing before I call 911.

My life and my families lives are much more important that any other life on the planet.
