Our master bedroom is on one side of the house, and all other bedrooms are on the other side. I am in the situation that if there is an intruder in the middle of the night, I will be grabbing a handgun and making my way across the house to my kids rooms. (I love a shotgun for home defense, but I don't think it is practical to be dealing with the long gun and sleepy kids).
If I encounter an intruder between me and my kids rooms, I would be shooting in the direction of their rooms. Not a good thing. So my question is, what do you do? I had thought about putting up extra plywood or sheets of steel, or something built into their outer walls. However, this is probably not practical. Has anyone ever done this in their house?
We take a lot of measures to make sure nobody gets in the house in the first place. But you never know.
I know I am not the only one who has this tactical disadvantage. So what do you guys think?
