I agree warning shots are a waste of time if your life is threatened. I've read many stories of people not wanting to shoot intruders and tried to get the drop on them and ended up dead.

Stupid is the idea by many your worse off pulling a gun on an intruder, that it poses more risk. Sure, it may provoke them to attack, but your other choice is to let them decide the value of your life.

I think women should keep a light 12 gauge for defense, hard to miss with that even if you are shaking. I admit the one time someone broke in my home or basement, I was waiting outside the door upstairs should they open it, I was rather shaky and excited myself, all I had available at that moment was a single shot 20 gauge with birdshot...
