But that's only one single scenario. You don't know of the million other situations in a different area that could play out. Its human nature and most do try to plan for whatever, but when its not in the least expected or situation, the outcome is a 'crap shoot'. My story wouldn't even have a chance at phoning. The element of surprise at a front door, luggage, skis, maneuvering keys in door.... meaning my hands are full.

Well, in other situations, I would just tell the perp to wait until I get into the bedroom, get my firearm, get to the master bath, and then he can proceed!
Of course I know the one single scenario I've described is ideal and optimal for me. Most likely, that won't be the case in an invasion. I will likely be surprised, and need to react quickly. I may not be able to retrieve my weapon. A lot of factors that can end up very badly for me. So I continue to train, get lessons, and improve my situational awareness. Can't carry in NJ outside of my home- so I have to look into other options as well...
I am sad to hear you have first-hand experience in all this, and I am grateful you survived the ordeal. Like you say, all this planning quickly goes out the window when the poo hits the fan...
