booger hook off bang switch, whether SA or any other weapon. remember that your family pet, one of your kids, or spouses might come around a corner, and a startled reflex may lead to a tragedy.
Have a plan. If you have a house full, ie, wife, kids, pets, you need to really concentrate on the most lethal weapon in the house:
Your brain. Involve them in what you will do in the event a window is broken, a door is pried open, something goes "bump" in the night.
The layout of your house apt. condo, townhome, etc,.. kids on one side, you on the other, etc,...
Since it gets darker earlier now, turn the lights off, and with an UNLOADED firearm, (repeat UNLOADED), "tactically" sweep your house. Defensive positions, possible points a BG would enter, exterior walls, interior adjoining bedrooms, etc,...
Where would you make your last stand? Where's your cell phone? Where's your family?
A lot to consider. If it's just you, than it's different.
