If you have kids in your home, even occasionally this is a very bad idea. They will find them and play with them. Kids are very good at this.


and I'm not sure what you mean by graduated response, if someone breaks in and you are in fear for yours and your families live. You point a gun at the problem guy and tell them to stop, if they don’t, you shoot (to kill) to protect your live. No graduation about it, stop or die, that’s it.
