How Do You Defend Your Home?

[Vampyr]

Right now we just lock our door, both the bolt and a latch. I will probably own a gun in the future, though...same reasons Prof S outlined.

I was back at home alone one time last summer, and I thought I heard someone moving around on the other end of the house. I went into my brother's bedroom, which is right across the hall from mine, and he collects swords/weapons.

So I ended up stalking through the house with a huge a broadsword.

There was no one there, and I have no idea what the noise was, but it was pretty terrifying. But I think if I had found them they might have been so flabbergasted by the sight of a guy with a medieval broad sword I might get the jump on them.
