A person with whom I'm familiar had a armed robbery in their home this week.
I guess a few armed thugs came in and robbed everybody, and a friend of mine got pistol whipped. I suspect the victims of the home invasion/armed robbery have firearms but could not get to them, as they were taken by surprise.
At my residence, we have two FID holders, but only one .22 rifle stored unloaded with a trigger lock. It's kind of made me realize how vulnerable we could be to such a crime if it were to take place in my house.
Anyhow, I'll be picking up my short-barreled Mossberg 500 12 ga. around Xmas! It would be nice to have an LTC and pistol, but I think a 12 ga. would handle an intruder quickly, at least if I could get to it in time.
