So between coming up my creeky ass ol farmhouse stairs and beating on the door to get in the room. And the dogs losing their shit from intruders. I felt pretty good about time to get long gun.
Life has changed. Three kids a dog and their mother now also live with us. So. No shotgun next to bed and no pistol left out. Dogs have also had to learn that sounds in the night do not mean bad guys. Guns stay locked in safe. I am going to install a in wall safe and place key hi and handy at night time. I am not comfortable with leaving a pistol on nightstand at night. Honestly afraid to leave it out. I am also thinking i should switch to the ar. Before I was not worried about penetration also. Surrounded by state land.
Having others in the house really porks security. Before I would basically not leave the room if something happened. Now I most definitely would make sure the kids were safe.
