What a horrific experience for a family to go through.

I'm fortunate that the layout of my home would have my family on the top floor and anyone looking to do us harm would have to come up a narrow flight of stairs in single file. I can cover those stairs from a position of cover and anyone who comes up those stairs after being warned to leave and that I was armed would be at a serious disadvantage.

I have zero desire to ever have to take another person's life but I'd do it in a heartbeat if I thought those I loved were in danger.
