I agree with the alarm....It is always a good idea to get a good jolt to wake up by if someone cracks a window.

Tx, you mentioned two people to clear the house...I agree that it would be tough to do it with one. My situation is a bit unique because everyone that has access to my house is sleeping in my bedroom...no kids. I have worked out some of the obvious shot paths and had talks with my neighbors about them.

My plans (part of them) is to voice a loud verbal command while using a portion of my room as a safety zone. I plan on making my plans very clear to someone violating my house. I have already made my decisions about the actions should that safety zone be violated, which is part of the plan my wife and I have worked out. This portion of the plan involves target identification. I have a Glock or revolver constantly available to me and it should get me a couple of feet to my shotgun. My wife also has her gun immediately available.

Another very important plan is to have a cell phone! The action that set off your house alarm might be someone cutting your phone line. Along with a good weapon and light...I believe that a cell phone to alert authorities is vital.
