Burglar killed in Wynnefield home invasion

http://abclocal.go.com/wpvi/story?section=news/local&id=9521697


The young couple returned home to find four or five masked men rummaging through the house.
The man confronted the intruders and a scuffle followed.

It's stories like these that make me question the personal protection device I carry daily, a 6+1 380.

The good news is with my DVR and one interior wireless PTZ camera hopefully I'd get some advanced warning from my monitoring system. It's easy to click the app and take a look around the exterior and parts of the interior. I also receive texts from the inside camera on detected movement. The outside cameras send e-mails since there's so many.

I did pick up a M&P shield but it's still limited on capacity at 8+1 I suppose that's the price you pay for having a pistol that can actually be concealed.

Chances are you will never have 4 people in your house. Your 6 shots should be fine 99.99999%.... Logical May 2014 #2
Yes, true if the home invaders are cooperative and hold still and wait their turn. NYC_SKP May 2014 #3

And each bullet makes it's mark.

Sure, four bullets is all one needs.

Or he could get one of those motion activated Dog Barking alarm which scare intruders away and make guns unnecessary.

He's got red hair, floppy ears, and we call him Scout!

Though I still keep my Glock as a backup, because I'm pretty sure he'll just see an intruder as a new friend to play ball with.
