You fellers are thinking but are not considering the measurable air between you and the devil. <img src="graemlins/sleep.gif" border="0" alt="[sleep]" />
To gain the respect of a 'shadow at night' and propel him toward the door, you brandish the Luger (the harbinger of death and evil). <img src="graemlins/oops.gif" border="0" alt="[oops]" />
As he accelerates away, start popping at him with a Beretta 92S to the distance of 8 feet or so. A hollow point would do well at this stage of the engagement. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
Then, between 8 feet and 25 feet, release a 10 ga. load from a Marlin single shot goose gun. <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[crying]" />
This will assure you that his footwork will be intense to 75 feet while you place a deer slug in the Marlin, which you send after him, up to 125 feet.

At this point, you must take your time to allow the villian to retreat an adequate distance so that your Ruger M77 rifle chambered in 300 Winchester Mag will be of most effect. This is what you have waited for, so do not spoil it by being overly anxious and shooting in haste. 100 yards to 400 yards is a good window for this weapon. So, dial 911 and chat with the operator, while you wait for the culprit to get within the 'sugar' zone.

Home defense has never been so good!
