Well on top of it we have a house alarm, doors windows, cameras inside and out. That alarm goes off the first thing I do is shut and lock my bedroom door, hit the 3 digit code that immediately opens the safe where both guns are locked and loaded. We have had dry runs of this . Yes, I even keep alarm on during the day when we am home. My husband keeps one of his guns on him at all times, he has a permit to carry ,I don't. Has one in his man cave and in another bedroom and another in the main part of the house. You're right , there is always a chance we can get caught with our " pants down" but we have tried to cover all bases. I think we are doing a pretty good job without having to live in complete fear.
