Benny folded his arms in thought then smiled. "To be fair, she was far easier on me because she knew me a little and knew I am not a violent man. I'd like to believe she'd have been tougher on someone else. To answer your question though, sir.." He stood up straight, "I wouldn't let them in, and threaten them with bodily harm if they tried to break in." He gestured to the shotgun on the wall, "I'd even mention there being a shot gun. If that didn't dissuade them, I'd be prepared and I would hit them with the first weapon I could locate, like a fire poker. If they were very tough and it didn't stop them, I am sorry about the mess sir, but I feel I would have to shoot them since they clearly were possibly dangerous to you. But I would try to aim so it wouldn't hit your books or kill them."
