Yes that is true. I will do as told, but I will be looking for a break in there defenses. If it comes down to hurting people, I will take a bullet if I have to just to make sure nobody else gets hurt. It's kind of similar to, If your plane is hijacked, would you risk you life to save the people on the plane.
I feel the same way you do. I'd gladly take a bullet to protect those around me. But when it comes to material possessions, it isn't worth taking a bullet or a knife.
And it is a lot easier to be heroic when you are just talking about being in that situation than it is when you are actually in it. When that sort of situation is on you, your blood tends to turn ice cold and your limbs to rubber. A few deep breaths and a couple of moments to clear your thoughts and sort out your priorities and you can get over that feeling. I've been in that kind of situations a few times. Always made it out with me and those around me unscathed. You just kind of have to gauge their behavior. If they look like they are out to hurt someone, plan to make a move; if they seem like they just want your money, let them have it. Not worth a potential trip to the hospital.
With the sort it sounds like you might be dealing with, I highly doubt they'd be the type to break into an occupied home or not do much more than make threats if they did. Sounds like you have a pretty solid security system too.
