carrying a concealed weapon is problematic, but if you live in a place that someone might want to break into while you are there you should have lethal force and know how to use it.
statistically when someone breaks into your house if you are female you will be awakened by someone who is already in your bedroom, too late to grab for the gun.
best scenario for home safety:
have a dog who is a light sleeper and will bark loudly to waken you if a stranger enters your home---this seperates the friends with a key from foes.
have either a shotgun or revolver as a weapon, they are the most foolproof, you should be awake now and be standing with the gun in a position so that opening of the bedroom door will conceal you.
the intruder enters and goes toward your bed, you are now behind him.
now do what you have to do, aiming for the legs to disable but not kill.
if this is not possible have a "safe room" you can quickly get into that contains your gun and cellphone (many times home invaders will cut your phone line)---get a 911 call off and warn anyone breaking down the door that they will be killed by a shotgun blast, stand away from the door and let them know police are on the way.
only a fool would break down the door and risk being killed.
(have been robbed at gunpoint twice in SF Bay area, and the second scenario was probably the only thing that keep me alive during a business robbery)
