A family of four were barbecuing outside their garage when two armed robbers force their way in and ransack the place.
"The look in their eyes, especially when they started beating us in the back of the heads with the guns. It was kind of like someone would torture a little animal and then joking about how they were going to love killing us," said one victim.
These don't sound like the kind of guys you should trust to just rob and rape, and leave promptly with a tip of the hat.
Gun grabbers and professional victims insist that when threatened with violence, you should acquiesce to your attacker's demands, because if you fight back, they might get angry. (anything but that!) Most of these folks don't say what to do if what they want is to kill.
The men were pinned to the floor with shotguns. "It got ugly when they went back downstairs and decided to tell the women to undress their clothes," the victim added, "The girls were really crying and you could just tell that they were incredibly upset."
This is a terrible situation. This is the kind of thing that ruins your life. Even if you survive the attack, you will forever know that because you failed to prepare; terrible things happened to your daughter, damaging her for life. Even if you surrender, thinking they just want to rob you, you just missed your opportunity to stop them if they change their mind.
Fortunately, while these two pieces of trash were preparing to force themselves on the victims, they saw an opportunity to fight back, and most importantly; they did.
"I grabbed him, threw him down on the ground, grabbed a weight from the weight set and smashed him in the head."
The women also joined in the fight, hitting the suspects with a frying pan.
"One of the girls completely nude managed to grab a gun and shoot the guy in the chest area and in the leg."
Suddenly these unarmed, submissive victims burst forth with anger and fury, and strike these confidently armed goblins.
This is what I mean when I talk about the victim mentality. Resigning yourself to defeat at the first sign of force can only end badly. Fighting back with anything you can, in any way you can is the only option that offers chance of success.
These people should be put on pedestals as symbols of the fighting spirit all of us have. Symbols that proclaim;
"We will fight back when our lives are threatened. We will not bend for those who would threaten it. We will meet force with force. We will protect each other."
But the police don't see it that way.
The police are very cautious not to make this seem like a heroic act. They say fighting back can sometimes end with the victims being more seriously hurt.
There you have it folks. A cut-and-dry case, and the answer is the same.
Situation:
Armed robber/murderer/rapists force their way into your home, ransack it, beat you and talk about how they will enjoy killing you. They then prepare to rape your daughter in front of your eyes.
Official police recommended course of action:
Do nothing.
Wait a minute... I missed the part where the 911 call was made, and the police were screaming to their rescue. Oh wait; the armed rapists, didn't allow them to call 911. Well, how are the police supposed to help if no one calls them?
It doesn't get any more clear folks. Not only can the police NOT protect you, they don't like it when you protect yourself.
Get firearm training, and arm yourself. NOW.

In Arlington, VA, last year, someone was attacking women walking late at night by putting a plastic bag over their heads and trying to drag them off.
The Arlington police lieutenant quoted in the Washington Post: "we don't recommend fighting back, as we don't know what might set him off." From the good lt's advice you wouldn't have known that prior to his giving that advice four separate women had been attacked and *escaped* by...fighting back.
Such an amazing resilience to any contrary fact is hard for me to imagine.
(That quote's a paraphrase as the WaPo's search function sucks, but the "might set him off" is verbatim. How could I ever forget that quote?)
