Mort...you right on the money...i am ill prepared, thats the whole point of the scenario...i'm fishing for idea's

And you are glossing over the first part of my previous post.

There is no correct answer or good outcome for your scenario. It is already too late when the intruders are standing over you with a knife at your throat!

You have placed yourself in an impossible situation, with fools protecting you while you sleep, and you are going to die.

SHTF, if you place yourself in the path of death then death is going to walk right up and suck the life out of you. It is not going to negotiate with you and it is not going to let you walk out the door with breath left in your body.

Suggestions to put in place right now, before such a thing happens?

Common sense tactical advice, and you are in a tactical situation! Do not kid yourself by calling it SHTF, your life is in danger and it is a tactical, military situation.

The minute you feel there is a true and ongoing threat, in the very first stages of SHTF, you must change your total outlook on life and put certain security measures in place.

(This is also the time when all the rules have been suspended and all the weapons that might have gotten one jail time in the past are brought out, built or activated and are carried 24/7.)

1. No one leaves the house alone. Not ever, at any time for any reason, day or night!
2. No one smokes on guard duty.
3. No one stands guard alone.
4. No one sleeps in a room with the door unlocked.
5. No lights inside the house after dark unless in a central room with no windows. This includes flashlights! (no, the guards do not need flashlights) Blackout conditions are in effect.

The real answer to the situation has already been proposed, a neighborhood defense with layers of protection, active patrols, large numbers of eyes watching, large numbers of voices shouting warnings and large numbers of people responding to threats.
