Oh, brute force, a true classic. I'm not really the hand-to-hand combat kinda guy (haven't
really had the time to actually learn something proper in that area), but hey I'm a decent
shot so there's always that option. Although I have to admit that I wouldn't exactly be
pleased at actually having to shoot an intruder; even if it was justified it still kicks loose an
enormous shitstorm, especially if the shooting was fatal. Strictly speaking you're not
allowed to have loaded guns around the house, so...

(I actually don't though,
at the moment)
Still, the big problem would probably be that my dog would notice them first and I've
been told by the person who brought him up/knows him best that she considers it
likely he'll attack or at least threaten the intruder, in which case the intruder might be
tempted to harm the dog (he's about 40 kg, so when behaving aggressively can make
quite an impression). And that of course I could not let slide...
Luckily we have low crime here and live in the second floor (British convention, 3rd
floor American convention), so it's not very likely that somebody just climbs into our
apartment.
Damn, this is not a discussion I was expecting to have on a computer forum, sorry
for taking this so off-topic. :lol:
