I haven't seen many posts I agree with.
Gun safes are nice, for the weapons you want to own but don't want to use for defense. Perhaps the ones that use biometrics for quick access would work in a home invasion scenario. I like the P7 suggestion where hand strength is required for operation.
If you're talking about rubber bullets- then guns aren't for you (right now at least). Guns are for killing. When someone enters your home un-invited you kill them. For your safety, for the safety of your children, and for society it's best to take them out. You don't want them in court anyways suing you.
Having children at home makes things interesting for sure. Glad you're thinking about it and seeking advice.
Personally, I will keep handguns accessible, but separate from fully loaded clips. All without too much work, but some assembly required. I'm hoping we'll have bio-metrics on guns soon affordably. Same for shotguns- maybe keep the shotgun under the bed, and the shells behind a curtain rod or something.
Can't agree with Hugh about moving. Criminals have cars and drive to areas less patrolled where the pickings are easier. Home invasions can happen anywhere.
Get another dog. Criminals hate dogs. I have a half Lab half Pit puppy who is slowly learning what's "normal" and what's not. Between her, the alarms, and the guns I sleep really well.
