A few comments after watching the video and skimming the thread.

1 - Husband recently died of cancer, odds are oxycodone is in the house. It's not uncommon for thieves to read the obituaries, see who has "donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society" in their write up, then break in during the funeral or wake. In this case, what are the odds a single, newly widowed teenaged mother is going to be home alone on New Year's? She'll probably be with family.

2 - I wouldn't say a peep if someone was trying to break into my house, shotgun in hand or not. I'd be quiet and pray they can't get in. Why would I announce what my defenses are and give away my location in the house? While that's the logical reasoning for staying quiet, my real reason would be I'd be too scared to make a sound.

3 - At one point there was an argument about "well you can't expect me to get legal advice in that situation do you?" Which I laughed at as that's exactly what she did, called the police (well 9-1-1 if you want to be technical) and asked if she could shoot.
