I don`t know that this is good advice regardless of whether we`re rural or urban. If they`re in my attached garage, they`re effectively in my home! I`d love to hear from an attorney, (NOT law enforcement), as to whether Castle Doctrine dictates that I must retreat to a distant place in my home and slink about until law enforcement arrives to handle the situation. It`s a toss up as to whether 911 response times are any quicker in urban areas.Good advice!
Us folks that are rural are a little more play it by ear. Cops are 30 minutes out, if nothing much else is happening in the county.
Armed intruder out here? Prolly looking for something more than property...
