One round fired and the cowards will be scrambling for the exit.

I like this!! Yes, imagine the sound of a .357 mag fired inside an RV! Those still able, would injure each other, trying to fit OUT the door at the same time. In close/confined quarters, even a .22 cal pistol sounds like a cannon.

You are assuming that the intruders are "normal" and will react to things in a normal way. Too many do not react normally.

lets see, three of them coming, one after each other, down the hall. my 12 gauge blasts a hole in number one. I operate the pump mechanism, the last two hear it. wanna bet that they don't skedaddle the other way?

You people sure pop out of a sound sleep faster than I do. It is at most 35 feet from my front door to bedroom in my 45 footer. Even a sloth could cover that distance in less than 3 seconds. No way I could wake up, grab a weapon, determine the intruder was a threat and not either a lost 5 year old or a wayward drunk and make the decision to blast them into the afterlife.
I would also think the incident cited would show people don't always act rationally. When the intruders discovered the RV was occupied, they could easily have fled and the police action would end with a written report. By beating the living H.E.double hockeysticks out of the guy they upped the ante to a felony that demands an investigation. Not very rational.
