What would you do?
Well first off I live in a province where our Trespass Act permits me to physically remove trespassers. If that person assaults me during that removal, I will defend myself. But I used to do that for a job so I'm much more adept at navigating confrontation and responding to violence than the avg person.
Ultimately in a home invasion situation, I just want to avoid my house getting trashed. I do have "whacking sticks" staged throughout my house. I also have flashlights with strobe function (GOAT self defense tool fyi).
-
De-escalation. "Hey man. You Okay?" "This ain't your house" "Can you please leave"
-
Assertive that I will not victimized. "There's the door. Leave now or else tonight is going to end very badly for you.
-
Attempt to remove them while creating a tactical advantage such that I can preemptively strike as to end the altercation with minimal damage to all parties.
-
TKO them. People with concussions cannot provide reliable testimonies.
-
Call an ambulance/police. 50/50 They wake up and assault the police officers. Makes things suuuuper easy for you.
