Hello. I’d like to get people’s opinions on a home defense plan when your children are in different rooms during a home invasion at night.
I understand the concept of not “clearing” a house by yourself, but if you can’t bunker down in your bedroom with your HD weapon of choice and blast any bad guy that comes in the room until the Police arrive, because you have to ensure you are protecting your kids, the only real option is to go clear your way through the house to where your kids are. Or, fortify a position between the threat and the kids. (Which in both cases, also means leaving your wife bunkered down in the bedroom with her HD weapon of choice). That isn’t a heart-warming thought either.
Would just like to get people’s opinions on this type of scenario. I think it makes a difference in what type of firearm(s) you choose, if you consider you may be forced to clear rooms by yourself to protect your kids. I think a long gun would be best if you are bunkered down in one position, but not so much maneuvering through hallways etc, if you have to...
Thanks for any comments / input
