Although I live in a 'safe' suburban area, the boys are grown and gone, and it is just my wife and I -
- House has high-security windows/doors
- High-pitched beep sounds if door/window is opened (anytime day or night)
- Shotgun (loaded + box of extra shells) is next to my side of the bed behind wing-back chair at the far end of the house from main entrance down long hallway
- Telephone (portable) is on the nightstand next to my side of the bed with 911 set on #1 on speed-dial and speaker phone
- Master bathroom off of master bedroom is furthest room at end of house and easily secured
- Master bedroom has French Doors (with secured exterior security gate) which exit to interior patio and back yard
