I always told my husband that if anyone broke into our house, I wouldn't be brave and go investigate. That I would take out my insurance policy, throw my kids behind my bed (all bedrooms are upstairs), and call for help. Then two years ago, when my husband was away with the army, that's exactly what I had to do. Our two large dogs alerted me, before I heard the noise. It was exactly 5 minutes after I turned my bedroom light off, like someone had been waiting and watching. That thought still creeps me out.

How should other people defend themselves and their families? However they need to. I know people who are more comfortable with a weapon (that they are trained on), martial arts, dogs, or a combination of things. Whatever works for their family and their situation, works.

Ghostgirl ~ A regular 45 is a bit much for me, too. Can you get ahold of a competition pistol? My 38 super competition has absolutely NO kick.
