Looking for your 'what would you do' ideas or suggestions regarding handling the typical late-night home intruder scenario when your younguns are sleeping on the other side of the house from the master bed?
Single level, with one hallway feeding all the kiddo's doors from off of a great room. Between the master and that hallway, are 3 different exterior doors if one includes the garage.
I ask this question to contrast the otherwise sound advice to hole-up in the master behind a strong door and let the po-po clear my house. You fellas surely understand that a parent just couldn't/wouldn't do that. I haven't seen this covered in the short time I've been poking around THR, so any sage advice is appreciated.
I feel I fully understand the heightened importance of potential target ID, along with how unprepared a lone homeowner is at properly clearing a structure while flying high with adrenaline. I'm just not gonna put any BG between me and my younguns.
PS, Any BG caught intending harm on my family better hope it's me that confronts them. Lord help him or her if my 103 lb wifey thinks her babies are in danger! hehe
