Dial 911 and...

...stand agape in befuddled amazement at a level of frustrating and obnoxious incompetence that approaches superhuman...

The operator basically provided enough distraction cover to enable a getaway.

And so much for gun owners being bloodthirsty trigger-happy Rambo wannabes...if anything, our natural aversion--and all good people have it--to harming another human being puts us at a disadvantage when confronted by those who share no such reservations. This is exactly where we must subordinate conflicting emotions to training.

I am pleased this decent man did not get hurt. I saw an opportunity for a determined adversary to get close enough to do so.

How much restraint would an only one have shown to the intruder.

It's pretty clear that had the only ones responded they would have taken the intruder (or what was left of him) out in a body bag.
