Tactical
Scenario:
12-2006
Trespasser Scenario
By: Mark Henry
It is a warm
Saturday afternoon and you decide to get some woodworking projects done in your
basement workshop. The spouse and kids are off at the local amusement park for
the day with a church group. As is
your usual routine, the doors and windows are closed and locked. About an hour into the project, you turn
the dust collector and table saw off for a coffee break. As you remove your
hearing protection, you hear the sound of people walking on the floor above
you. This is unusual because your
spouse is not expected back for hours.
It sounds like two
adults walking around on the kitchen floor above. A male voice in a hushed tone says, “Be
quiet they might hear us up here.
Let’s get out of here before they come up the
stairs.”
You get a sick
feeling in your stomach because you left your SIG 9mm upstairs along with your
pepper spray. There is no phone in
the basement because you forgot to bring the portable phone downstairs with
you. You have with you in the
basement an Airsoft G19 with lots of Green Gas and plastic ammo for the
Airsoft. Also available, are all of
your tools and wood.
The basement has two
exits as required by code.
They are the stairs leading up to the kitchen and a high basement
window.
Analyze the
situation and take appropriate action. Describe your thought process and why you
took the actions that you did.
