If an intruder gets in, call 911, Betten said.

Unbelievable.

Someone needs to post a Youtube clip of a real time break in scenario using this advice using actors. My guess is that the person on the phone **might** be able to dial 911 and possibly (just possibly) get a few words out before they are attacked.

And that’s a maybe.

This is terrible advice.

It is the 'children should not play with guns' nanny-mind. And it IS pathetic. (Would agree, if you can get 'out'; if even diving through a window; do so. But if you have a gun, at the ready; then by all means; use it!)

Meantime, chances are good, it will be cell phone you are relying on. . .so 'make sure sound it 'off' lest you call attention to yourself as you dial. . .and make sure battery always charged and 'ready'. . .and make sure you always have it close. . .(no; not by the sofa. . .or on kitchen counter; or left in your car. . .but, yes, 'close and ready'. . .ever ready.)

Meantime, life happens. . .
