Only about 6 months into my gun journey, so I'm probably still asking some stoopud newbie questions. Thinking through what home defense might look like.
So something goes bump or crash in the middle of the night. I wake up, and that twisted feeling in my gut says I better grab my gun. This is not a paper target at 3 yards at the range! I know what to do there .... how about here and now??
In the fuzz of waking and the surge of adrenaline and fear, will I remember where I put my gun? Glasses? Flashlight? Phone? Should I put pants and shoes on? (Might be much more scary without the pants!!)
Will I remember to check on my wife? If she's hard to rouse, do I take the time to get her safe? Or do I use the time to end the threat?
I'm in AZ, so anyone inside my house in this situation is fair game. But I'm used to "when you can't think, you will not rise to your intententions - you will fall on your training".
What does your home defense scenario look like? Are you a grab-n-go person? Or have you crafted and trained a plan of action? (Any "been there, done that" stories to share??)
