Mater Dei:
What an unspeakably horrible experience, very happy you and your family survived and that you shared it here. With EIGHT armed people breaking in simultaneously, even if all four adults had been armed and well-trained the outcome could have been much worse.
Eight armed people who kick in the front and back doors simultaneously, that is a planned attack by a gang, not a typical robbery. Do you have any idea why your apartment was targeted?
Curious, did the police ever catch the BGs?
Lessons we can learn:
1. Have doors that cannot be kicked in.
2. Have doors that cannot be kicked in.
3. Have doors that cannot be kicked in.
Further, although not applicable to a case like Mater Dei's experience due to the disparity in numbers, my personal feeling is that it's better to have your weapon within arm's reach at all times when you are at home -- locked up in your "safe room" won't help if BG breaks in there while you are at the other end of the house, or comes right in the window just behind where you are sitting.
