When in doubt, improvise...
About 12 years back I responded to a 911 call of which the woman on the line was claiming someone was trying to break into their home. The husband was at the door yelling back at the guy kicking at the door, advising him to leave as they were armed. During this the intruder was ranting that he was going to kill him and his family (all of this was loud enough to be heard by the Dispatcher). The intruder made his way to the side door of the house at the same time the husband had locked his wife and two small children in their bedroom and retrieved his .357 magnum. The intruder then kicked in the side door and entered the house, charging the man. He unloaded the revolver into the heavily drug induced individual hitting him three times, the dropping shot shattered his femur. Out of ammo and the intruder still crawing towards him, the husband retrieved his shotgun to end the confrontation. Unfortunately he either forgot to reload or he didnt keep it loaded.....so he proceeded to beat the guy -(ultimately to death)-with it until L.E. arrived. The attacker was pronounced dead a short time later at the E.R. and the gentleman was not charged.
So I suppose I took away the concept that whether you use a rifle, handgun, shotgun or hammer....always have a back up plan.
