I would grab my XD. Call the cops. Keep an eye on the guys from inside my home. I would not confront the men unless they made a move to enter my home. I am not going to risk my life for a piece of metal, but as soon as you try and enter my "castle" you have a problem.

I agree. You take the risk of getting hurt or getting into a bad situation
and a long legal battle. You are not yet in any danger or threatened with harm.

I am kind of a nut...

I would have my shotgun. That gets more compliance in a shorter amount of time.

now a days legal beatles are everywhere.

I work hard for what little I have, why let punks just have it, I am not confrontational, but who's to assure me that, after they assume I was a easy target, they wont come back for more next time and descide to invite themselfs in, well not in my book.

I would grab my video camera and call the cops. I have car insurance for a reason (although I think my car would be one of the last on the street to have this problem...)

I would also turn on all my house lights and stand in the window video taping them with my AR under one arm and the camera in the other hand. Hope they would see my shadow.
