A blitzing bull moose in rut swearing like a pirate conjures up a frightening image!No practice. If I have to clear my house, and with chronic smoker's cough, annoyed at being interrupted, there is little chance of being stealthy. So, I embrace the other tactic. Go through the house like a blitzing bull moose in rut & swearing like a pirate. I'll be carrying a simple old school riot pump shotgun stoked with 00buck. My babies (the cats) are out there, and you better have not let them out!
Oh yes most definitely, lots of high explosivesClearing a house: You mean like when Clint Eastwood and Sandra Locke were in "The Gauntlet"?
or: When all else fails, HIGH EXPLOSIVES seem appropriate!
