So, give up your position and element of surprise letting them know where exactly you are.
Just give them the house, Morrowind rules.
A) Illegal and B) because it endangers bystanders and is reckless and irresponsible.
"Sorry I shot your grandma, I was trying to figure out if the dude making forcible entry to my home was an actual threat or was just out of Double Stuffed Oreos and the store was closed."
No, if you shoot, you do so because you need to stop the threat, you want those bullets to hit the threat and preferably stay in him, not zip out and endanger bystanders, nor miss purposefully endangering them more. Your advice here is not only illegal but dangerous and irresponsible, and nobody should follow it.
You mean like seeing an arm break a window and reach for a doorknob?
Yes, it isn't Fallujah. Your position is in the house. Either they know your there or they don't. If they don't and you yell your armed the odds are they leave. Or in this case it would have opened a dialogue that would prevent the murder.
You aren't giving them this deed to your house.
No
No it doesn't. But I agree its a shame when innocent people die due to irresponsible gun owners
Unarmed hand but go back to first point about warning intruder you are armed and will fire.
No but I don't live in a closet either, I could be in the kitchen, the top of the stairs, the living room, the bedroom, etc, and he doesn't necessarily need to know "oh I heard a noise from the left, let me wing a few shots that way." Sure they could run away, or they could shoot at the source of the noise, and the only way to know is to take that chance. You're welcome to take it, but I shouldn't be forced to after he has forcibly gained entry to my house without permission by destroying a window. Imo "locks" count as a warning that you aren't supposed to be in there, and bypassing them is ignoring warnings, be they verbal or nonverbal.
Right, just access to my family or pets for 11min average while I wait for the cops IF I remembered to take my phone to call them during my egress, egress I might add that requires me to either dive through my back glass door because I don't have time to unlock it if I'm downstairs, or jump out of a second story window onto concrete if I'm upstairs. Sounds fun.
Yes.

Yes it does, and I'm glad you aren't a gun owner because you would be an irresponsible one, advocating for unsafe practices and pretending you know what you're talking about. Let me guess you think celebratory gunfire is safe too?
Nah pretty sure it had an arm attached.
