re: What does your lady have for home defense?

I'll throw this in here. Late at night. Wife home alone with kids in middle of house, 2 kids sleeping on one side of house, other side of the house is where he shotgun/weapon of choice is. Man starts to break window of front door trying to get in.

Do you run for gun, kids, or phone first?

If she can definitely get to the phone in time, then:
1. Phone (just dial 911, say "Home Invasion" and go for the gun...don't waste time interacting with operator)
2. Gun
3. Kids

Otherwise
1. Gun
2. Phone
3. Kids

I would think a BG is going to go after an adult before any kid.

But this situation is why I keep weapons at each "extremity" of the house, so that there will be a weapon available no matter which direction they run, and regardless of a BG's point of entry. Makes the above scenario moot.
