Being deaf as the proverbial stump I'm severely handicapped (I cover all the handicapped bases) in the hearing department at night without the hearing machine plugged in.
I rely on visual cues which is usually the wife jumping up and down while holding my 1911 out for me to grasp.
If alone they could hold a party with loud music, they'd have to bring their own stereo, don't have one myself and I'd probably never know it happened.
In polling most police officer prior to and after being employed by same the general consensus is to keep conversation with said bad guy to absolute minimum or no conversation at all. If you got somebody with you, wife, mistress, etc, they can call and give 911 the play by play.
Don't shoot through the door ever, don't matter where you are, not good.
Once the door/window _________enter point of entry here is crossed, all bets are off and unleash hell at the slightest possible act of aggression.
Probably still be in trouble, that's what lawyers cause and are for but always cheat, always win in the fine words of Clint Smith.
