All good points.....Allot of good points, I'm armed and their easy to reach no matter what, my wife also knows how to shoot and where to get them in the house, but with small kids, you have to be careful, ours are grown up and gone. I advocate to people that I trained and trained with, that anything is a weapon in your house and you better be prepared if someone enters your house to just start grabbing things and go ballistic on them without hesitation, without remorse. If it means going animal on them like a PitBull when you enter it's yard, so be it, be that PitBull or German Shepherd guarding it's turf.
If nothing else, give your other half he opportunity to reach your weapons, throw yourself into the fray and give them the chance to get to them, chances are you can hold out long enough for them to come to your aide with firepower.
On the subject of throwing yourself in the fray to allow the other half to get the firepower.......I am reminded of the old Jerry Clower joke about raccoon hunting and the raccoon (really a LYNX!) and the hunter fighting in the tree....
'Shoot this thing, it's killing me!'
'I can't shoot up there, I might hit you!'......
'WELL JUST SHOOT UP HERE AMONGST US, ONE OF US HAS GOT THE HAVE SOME RELIEF!'
