A gun is definitely best, just lock it up so the kids can't get it.

Not to mention a couple Gerbers, Camillus...and 6 razor sharp Katana

I have shotguns and handguns. They say the best weapon for home defense is the shotgun. I have kids in the house and they know about the guns. shotgun is handy and the shells are hidden where the kiddies won't find them. I do take the guns out and take my kids shooting so they learn to respect the weapons and NOT play with them. My 15 year old is a hell of a shot and my 11 year old is learning.

I would have no problem pulling a trigger if the situation arose. better them then me!

Also nice in case of a zombie Apocalypse

I have a rottweiler and a crazy alarm system. Cameras, screens in windows wired, motion sensors, motion detectors. I spent over 20K on my alarm system. I live in a mini fort Knox. I have some crazy weapons though just in case. LOL

Good point, Steve. Teaching kids about guns and how to use them safely is far more effective than any lock or safe.

My dad took me shooting for the first time when I was 3 years old. He showed me his .38 special and told me about how to always treat it as if it was loaded, always point it straight up, down, or down range, and to never point it at anyone EVER. He then handed me the gun and showed me how to cock the hammer and squeeze the trigger to fire. I cocked the hammer, squeezed the trigger, and the gun roared to life.

Scared the living sh*t out of me!

That day I learned just how much power a gun has, and that that power must be respected. Since then I have fired all sorts of guns and enjoyed every minute of it. I believe that I appreciate them a lot more because I was scared by one.

I would only echo the use of a gun but be prepared to use if you pull it. NJ law provides for stiff penalties just for brandishing. My household in PA has many that would be used in a moments notice and are also used, carried and licensed for my personal protection. Gun locks are a necessity if you have children but education is vital as well. Mace, telescopic batons or a stun gun are options but require close proximity to a perp to use.
