Time to get a better door.

The home is one of the few places where YOU get to choose how difficult it is to get in to. FWIW, I know a lot of folks who carry. I don't know anyone who carries while at home.

If anyone wishes to do so, have a great time. But there is a lot more to being safe than just having a gun on your person 24/7.

I find the "But it's your LIFE!" argument ridiculous. By that argument, we all ought to drive armored trucks to work. We all ought to work out, watch what we eat, and ice cream sales should plummet. Kids shouldn't be allowed to ride bicycles, adults shouldn't be allowed to ride motorcycles and no one would ever smoke.

We all do things involving at least some risk and do so for convenience or because it is fun. In most places, you are more likely to die in traffic than from a home invasion. Folks are more likely to die prematurely from being overweight than from not carrying a gun 24/7.

As for my wife & I: After 30 years of marriage, we don't spend a lot of time making demands of the other. We make compromises, but our marriage would have ended decades ago if we issued ultimatums to each other.
