I keep my pistol with me anywhere I go in the house during the day, and the AR by the bed and pistol on the night stand when I go to bed. I don't want any guns anywhere in the house but beside me when I go to bed.
This is me.

I have been renting a house for a month or so in a not so good area of OKC because all the apartments we found wouldnt accept my 85lb german shepard. A couple nights ago my wife woke up and looked out the bathroom window and there was a truck on fire in the street beside our house. Disconcerting to say the least. Security is , every lock is utilized. I have a habit of carrying my little J frame around the house, and if im working on a gun or cleaning, I have another loaded near enough to get to without having to traverse the room. The biggest problem I see in some peoples ideas is leaving a gun in a room. what if you arent in that room. What do you do? Well putting a gun in every room, not always practical, but I do think, as troy mentioned, most people underestimate the possibility of this type of thing happening and fail to train or prepare. Thats the number one way to ensure that if this does happen, you ARE the victim, not the defender. The military drills it into you, Fail to train, Train to fail...
yep, and a long time to sit in your house with a dead body lying in your kitchen or hallway...just saying...bloods hard to get out of the carpet...
My wife is full of that doesn't happen around here. Or the infamous that will never happen to me. Or the I can take care of myself.(without training or practice...) so I get a lot of why do you feel you have to have it stuck to your hip every where you go. or Oh you got that thing. Or just, I don't see why you need it. But none the les s I try to explaine with out an argument. Her idea of home protection is basicly like a child hiding under the blankets.
All it takes is once... I hope she survives her chance. You don't get to choose the time or the place.
