Over the past few years my wife has gone from thinking that guns in the home will be taken and used against you to getting her CCW permit. We've also talked about some situations that may occur at the house and what we should do. Tonight as I sat reading my favorite little website(THR) my wife goes running through the house in her pajamas and out the door. It took me a second to process the information at which time I thought "that is not quite right" and followed. I grabbed my big Maglite on the way and asked what was up. She tells me that she heard something outside and thought she may have left the dog out and maybe it was coyotes going after the dog. (plausible since we just had a cat taken about two weeks ago). Anyway, turns out the dog was outside and was just squeezing under the fence and making a racket doing it. We get the dog inside and everything is fine. Then I just had to ask "where on the list of situational responses to strange noises at night is running out of the house with nothing but your PJs?" I found it very funny but, at the same time, there is a serious aspect to this that needs to be addressed. So do you fine folks run drills on this stuff? Because just talking about it some didn't work out as well as I had hoped.
