1. You ensure your home is secured and do not obscenely parade your money around. You dont become a target.
One bullet rarely can stop a man, not even a direct head shot, which will require very close quarters.

It all starts with preventative measures and deterrents. Then have a plan developed just in case those fail; which, most likely, they will not.
When not at home:
-never post on face book or other places that you intend to be out of town.
-keep lights/radio on while gone (or have them on timers)
-have friends/family stop by to pick up mail & news papers (if anyone still gets news papers)....or call the post office and have them pause delivery while gone.

Are you guys serious...Maybe I am misunderstanding? Are you saying a direct head shot from a gun will not stop someone....Well I do not know who you are talking to but i would like to meet this "magical" guy you are referring to.

Scenario 1: You wake up in the middle for the night, 2 guys in masks break into your house with knives and guns. You have to protect yourself and family. What do you do? Hide behind a corner with a knife and wait for them to cross that corner? What are ways not to choke up and crawl up into a ball? This is a serious question, to do with survival in your home, when someone breaks in meaning to do harm?
1. A gun needs to be 'gun sighted' and practiced often (3mths at least) before one can use it accurately, or it will just simply shoot projectiles radomly.
2. One needs to aim to hit a person at the vital points inorder to bring the victim down. If not, he will only be shooting blindly and inaccurately.
3. To aim, it takes breathing control, muscular firmness and finger discipline to pull the trigger to get it right. It will take 3 to 4 seconds to be accurate. A victim can easily cover 25metres (room range) to reach him.

Would be lovely to have a nice big gun to point in attackers' faces
But unfortunately, many of us live in countries where citizens are not permitted to have firearms of any description
