Forums → The Tavern → What would you do if a robber broke into your house?

Depends, if he is armed i would probably run or call 911 or both. If not I would use an improvised weapon, like a guitar and sneak up on him and bang him on the head or something.

Probably first I would call 911. Then I would get to the bathroom and grab the war club we have. Then when he came around the corner I would attack him.

We have a dozen axes, shovels, sledgehammers, and other tools that could easily be used as weapons. The only problem I'd have would be getting to our garage to get them.

Although, I don't understand why a robber would choose our house which is in the middle of nowhere to steal from.

Killersup's family owns gun.Killersup would quite literally get out of his bed,walk over to to his gun stand in his room,and shoot off the robber's face.

Well I now know who to rob and who not to!

Details matter extremely with this kind of question. Like what is the setting (besides your house)? Is the robber 7 feet tall with a muscular built arms clasping a gun? There could be more, but I would be more of a killjoy then I had wished for.

I would try and save my family by going into the kitchen and grabbing several knives.

If a robber broke into my home and stole anything other than my refridgerator, I would rip his/her kidneys out and eat them with custard. If he did steal my refridgerator again, I would yell at him and ask him to give me back my clothes dryer.

Probably hide while calling the cops. I have a knife.... Somewhere in my room. Oops, think I lost it. Whatever.

One does not simply
Steal from pickpocket

Depends on a few things but if i have the option beat them within an inch of life.

He might not like having his throat slit but that's certainly what would happen if some ******* tried to break in my house.

Revolver in case: Check. Knife on desk: Check.

I wouldn't shoot the feller, but I would brandish one, or both, of aforementioned weapons. Should have him quaking in his boots.

911 gets there after you die, That's how that works...

Call 911, shoot the guy. Not necessarily in that order.

Mossberg 500: Ready

S&W M&P: Ready

I think it would scare most to hear the sound of a shotgun being racked. haha.

Kind of hard to say how I would react in a situation like this. Depends on the guy's location, what he's doing, ETC... I would try to assess the situation ASAP, then take action.

I have my pocket knife and one of my Dads Maglights in my room. Figured that a nice crack on the head with that Maglight should stifle any guy. I would use the pocket knife in more of a melee to disable the guy, but try to avoid killing him unless necessary.

I'd grab a knife and force him to sit down on my couch. That's where I keep my ejector seats in my house.
