Re: Spent the night (july 3rd) on the couch with my M4
Two things:
1.) Once you determined the threat was outside, the .45 should have been holstered and the M-4 should have taken it's place.
2.) Having the M-4 at the ready, would have allowed you to eliminate all occupants of the cars. A shovel and some elbow grease would have taken care of the rest, and then nobody would be worried about a return engagement.

Joe, i did have a round already chambered. the reaction i got would have been the same had i had my shotgun, the round ejected was held in hand for a single load after a mag dump.
the M4 was back in the bedroom with the wife. she brought it out after they had departed.
after my dog started barking and growling she continued to do so until they departed.Μολὼν λαβέ

I think that using a standard M-4 carbine to defend the homestead at night is inconsiderate. The noise of a 5.56 round is very loud and would wake the neighbors.
Buy a silencer.
Tax: $200
Cost of effective 5.56 suppressor: $500
Letting the elderly neighbors sleep in until morning: Priceless.

I was not aware of that problem in your neck of the woods. That's a shame.
Some local kids decided to harass one town's police chief when he was off-duty at home (Small Town America, gotta love it!). He went outside, yelled at the kids; they ignored him. He racked his shotgun; they paid attention. End of problem. PSP talked to him about it afterwards, but that was the end of that.

Re: Spent the night (july 3rd) on the couch with my M4
Yup. Whatever social contract I hold with the police is tempered by their 45 minute response time when someone smashed in our front living room window.
They finally showed up and apologized for their (PSP) response time. I told them that I did not expect them at all, given recent SCOTUS decisions that tell us that police have no legal obligations to protect citizens. I told them that they were only called so we could file a report with the insurance company, and that I do not expect police to protect my life or property.
