I live in Florida, so I'm allowed to shoot anyone kicking in my front door
I have my 9mm fully loaded with hollowpoints in my desk cabinet, 2 feet from my bed. I could actually reach it without getting out of bed in less than 2 seconds.
My 2nd weapon (now my Sig .40) goes with me when I answer the door. If I look out and see something suspicious, the gun stays in my right hand, behind the door, behind my foot holding the door from being pushed in. If I'm not worried, it goes in my waistband in the back before i open it.

What more can an intruder do in that time do you think? How does that affect your strategy?

If I hear a loud noise that wakes me from my sleep, I can (and will) have my gun out in seconds. My bedroom door is always closed and locked while I'm asleep. If I hear a noise that wakes me, it could be a lot of things. If my bedroom door afterwards get kicked in, I'll be waiting.
