HOME SECURITY
Possession of a firearm is only one aspect of a total home security plan. The necessity of establishing a secured perimeter as a first line of defense of one's residence is paramount, because it will discourage criminal invasion or will provide the home owner with early warning in the event of an intrusion.
Security measures may include adequate door and window locks; perimeter fences; window grates; ornamental, barred, heavy gauge steel "screen" doors; landscaping that minimizes the ability for a criminal to operate or hide unobserved; outdoor lighting on motion detectors; a family pet that serves in a watchdog role; and possibly an alarmed security system. Getting to know your neighbors and establishing a formal or informal "neighborhood watch" is advisable.
Interior security involves designation of one remote room in the home as the "safe" room. This room, usually the master bedroom, serves as the location to which individual family members may congregate in relative safety should a criminal forcibly obtain entry to the residence while it is occupied.
The safe room will be fitted with a sturdy, solid core, lockable door, with dead bolt latches on the upper and lower third. Equipment routinely stored in the safe room will include a flashlight, a cellular phone by which to contact police should phone wires be cut, and a secured firearm with ample ammunition. All members of the household should be familiar with the home defense plan.
