I keep my Sig P220 .45 handgun next to my bed loaded with Hornady 200gr Tap ammo along with a 12 gauge shotgun loaded with buck shot close by. I'm lucky in that I don't have small kids in the house so I'm hoping if the time ever came the recognizable loading of the 12 gauge will be enough to scare them out.

I too have instructed my wife and 20 year old daughter on what to do in the event someone enters the house at night. I think the most important thing is to make sure they know to give the 911 operator descriptions of us so the LEOs don't confuse anyone once they arrive.

I'm also new to this forum. Purchased my first handgun in December 2007 after my wife had a scary dream that we had a home invasion. Since the youngest is now 20, she finally agreed to let a hand gun enter the house. Me and my son completed our CHL class with Tom Estep last Saturday and I really enjoyed the information that was presented.
