Several things come into play in that scenario. First is my duty to retreat. I cant just start busting caps unless I am backed into a corner. Not that I want to just saying it is against the law to do so.
Second is the fact that most criminals are shitty shots. For instance during one of the shots fired calls last week ,one of the shooters was shooting at the cops. Well the cops found the empty shells right on the ground, but could not find the bulletholes, and no not 1 cop was hit, The did locate the bullethols eventually, that is after they looked up and noticed holes in the THIRD STORY WINDOWS! That's some pretty shitty shooting right there. The crooks don't train like a good portion of the firearm enthusiasts I know do. We train for situations that involve multiple targets and non threats ad well as moving targets and us shooting while running for cover. If and that's a big IF, I ever find myself in a situation like described, I have confidence in my training.
Third, if the looter did find my firearms in the rubble the odds of them also finding the ammo will be slim. Then throw in the fact that there is even a slimmer chance that these looters will be smart enough to know how to operate the gun they find in a quick enough time period to be any threat to me at all.
Contrary to what some of you think, I would not show up guns a blazing.
