Home Invasion

When I read this terrifying story, it really jerked me into reality.  I have NO idea what I would do if someone broke into my house.  I have no thought out plans, nor have we talked about this topic at all. 

Anyone is in danger of a break-in, no matter how invincible you may think you are.  Dee and I are going to have to sit down and discuss the best options to fit our house, family, and needs.

This story raises questions:
1. How are you going to protect yourself in the event of a break-in?
2. Do you have a weapon you can use?
3. Are you strong enough to fight someone off?
4. Do you have skills for hand combat, firing arms, or anything else that would aid in your survival?
5. Are you in shape to either fight your opponent or run?
6. Do you have a good hiding place?
7. Do you have your phone near you at all times in order to call 911?

It's good to think about these things and at least have some sort of plan in mind (whether you end up using it or not).  Being over prepared is better than not being prepared at all.
