Within the past week, there have been 5 cases of home invasion in the Orlando,
Florida area.  The incidents occur in the early evening, when everyone is awake
and typically watching television.  The *invaders* violently crash or break in,
using the element of surprise.  All have been armed and there are generally 3
or more.

In all 5 cases, the invaders were after money and jewelry.  I think there was
only one case in which they took an electronic item.  By the way, this is not a
gang that has hit 5 times -- there are different groups.  I can not remember all
the stats, but in at least 2 incidents gun fire was used by the invaders, even
when the victims were not armed.

Yes, I have protection and security devices, but I don't profess to be RAMBO.
I would appreciate *practical* solutions and tactical recommendations for 
handling the situation.  This is obviously beyond the typical, single intruder,
sneaking into your house.
