Solid oak doors and steel doors, Medeco locks, alarm system, motion sensor lights, cameras, laminated glass windows.....that's the first layer of defense. Firearms, knives, and other weapons are a last resort, but still part of the overall picture.

Just like we prepare with multiple layers of gear, your home should be protected by multiple layers of gear. Relying on firearms or steel doors alone is like only having one knife. Sure, it may work most of the time; but if it breaks or fails.....it could be life or death.
