All points of entry are between the two, so ANY potential situation inside the home involves my kids being in the field of fire, were it to escalate to that point. This is obviously highly disconcerting and makes me want to rethink the whole setup. As you've all noted, any round designed to do real damage to a human being will pass through typical home construction like butter. This was a much easier philosophical mental exercise before I had children. Now, I'm not sure I wouldn't prefer the Louisville Slugger from my youth.
All jokes aside, wonder if a 9mm PCC with subsonic ammo with lower FPS would at least mitigate the situation. I actually work in construction, so I may give some type of retrofit to the house consideration.
