Very inaccurate. If the guy had kicked in the be door instead of knocking (higher probability), would she have had the time to :
Make it over to the sofa
Reach under it and pull out the gun safe
Put her hand on it for proper biometric identification
Wait several seconds
Pull out gun
Point at intruder?
They are telling women that as long as you have a gun, you are safe. Not so. It needs to be on or near to your perso n for events just such as this.
Correct ... never further than ten feet away. Lasers are helpful too to place aim.
No Deadbolt on the door. he wouldn’t even have to kick it in but jimmy it.
At the 2nd knock I would have called the cops. and had my pistol at the ready
