Which (hiding) would work great for one type of bad guy you apparently see a lot of on TV - the drugged out guys who picked a random house and wants $50. If this guy robs you he'll stop to pick up your shoes (to sell for drugs) so you can drop anything and run to safety. If the bad guy who broke into your house showed up on your security cameras' view with a "Type 1 Grunt - Snatcher" label you might even be safe to assume he would act this way. But that's not realistic so you have to figure out who he is and what he wants from his actions starting with the 2am kicking down of your door. Guess wrong and he might be a drugged out rapist instead. Really, if he's not yelling 'Fireman!' (And didn't arrive in a special truck) he's not kicking down your door to help. Some of the things that may be done to you may only (mostly) involve your things, or only hurt you not kill you, and people can give you a big song and dance about laws and morality - but don't YOU want to choose prison over death for yourself, if those really are your only two options? I'm with you, partly. No need to fight this guy to be a hero. For your additional safety, hide in bathtub, sound a siren, and get help - while holding the shotgun you will use to kill him and his accomplices if they try to open your hiding spot before help arrives.
