As a pilot, I am very well aware that bad information can kill you. Or, bad navigation.

My philosophy is that if I'm home in a hostile situation, I want my wife to be laying prone on the ground (preferably in a safe location) so that I know that I can shoot anyone who is standing without having to worry about target identification. As such, her side of the bed is next to a windowless brick wall and in a home intruder situation, I want her to be laying on the floor right there. Sure, she has a gun in her nightstand, but I don't expect her to be helping me investigate / clear the house in that sort of situation. She can lay on the floor and stay on the line with 911 while telling them that the old bald headed white guy in his underwear is the GOOD guy and not to shoot him.
