Don't what? Don't have a gun? I would call the police. Then I would get out of there. It would be foolish and extremely dangerous to confront the intruder even if I DID have a gun.
That's what's wrong with this git-the-drop-on-th'-varmint conservitard fantasy. The intruder is on high alert, and if armed, is probably more familiar with his weapon than you. So you blaze away at him--and you miss Then he kills you.
Or let's continue with the fantasy and say you put six bullets in his chest before he can react. Do you feel heroic? Do you feel noble? Do you think you'll get laid now?
