How Do You Defend Your Home?

[DeathsHand]

We lock our doors, though this area of Arlington is extremely safe...

The house whose pantry I lived in for 3 months was never locked... Night, day, home, vacant... Mostly because they didn't have a key to the front door.

Though if I moved to a new area, bought a house, started a family, etc. I could see myself shoving a gun in the closet, loaded, rigged up with a string on the trigger, pointing directly at the wife's side of the bed.
Just in case.
