Because of my vision impairment, we have established a code word system, if my husband yells red front door, I can't shoot at the front door. If I hear "red right!" from him or my son, I know I can't shoot to my right.

If he yells green dining room, or green left, that means shoot toward the dining room or to my left. It's that simple.

My vision isn't that bad, but bad enough that I can't aim at center mass, I just probably won't be right, I just point and pull at "green".

This is in the event of a home invasion, which is most unlikely, thank goodness.

However, in the event of a home invasion, both my husband and my son are quite accurate shots, they are going to have to subdue them both before I have to actually shoot.

My job is standby, and shoot at shouted targets. This is obviously not ideal, it works for us. We live in the hurricane state, we are used to practice and "what to do in an emergency" scenarios.

I find it a little confusing and, ok, I'll admit, quite strange, that someone can shoot a loved one. Do they not know who is in their home and where they are? I just can't see that scenario. I'm sorry.
