Well, like any Roman Emperor, you'd need it.

Other than we should do to keep our house secure, here is my response.
1) If I am armed, I will engage. She was surprised when she said, but they are 3 armed bad guys. I said, this is why I go to Dallas Pistol Club and compete in Personal Protection Matches and at less than 5 yards, I can take 3 center mass shots on 3 targets in less than 5 seconds.
2) I I am not armed, I will try to disarm the closest BG using speed of motion, distraction, and brute force.
3) Instruct the family to seek safety, and then, I will engage the other 2 bad guys.
4) Surrender is NOT an option.

This is why carrying all the time, is the right choice. She went silent.
Lets just hope it is NOT happening but I respect your choice and it would be mine as well.
