With a keen understanding that being "
prepared" goes well beyond learning the mechanics of your weapon and becoming competent at creating a nice tight group on a target. Many people hesitate at the crucial moment, reluctant to create that same group in another human being's torso, which is not really all that surprising. If I was a bad guy - particularly in the close confines of the home of a typical American family - I'd rather face someone skilled in firearm use but who is hesitant than I would someone less skilled but with a solid and proper defensive mind-set.
Even if you're confident you're not the guy who might hesitate, can you say the same for your wife? If you can't, then you need a Plan B anyway - which you might just determine is the one that makes the most sense for your family.
