With a four person household where only daddy has a gun, it would seem 
like shooting the perp immediatly would give the best chance of
survival.  In Pennsylvania, I can do that.

BTW, I can handle the phone and keep the perp covered at the same
time.  As far as letting the police in, I'll put down the phone
first.  I can keep the perp covered unless the front door is in
another room.  In that case, I would have to choose whether to chance
moving the perp to the door, or just yelling for the police to bust
in.  In my appartment, I can move the perp, since he will not be able
to dive for cover.  In my grandmother's house, I could shoot the perp
without the neighbors bothering to report a gunshot to the police.

However, In any case, I would take reasonable efforts to avoid
firing.  It makes life a lot simpler to not shoot.
