Folks, I'm not quite sure what the rules are about this. If I've broken them by referencing another forum, please accept my apology and Mods please delete this thread as you see fit.
One of the members over on the 1911 forum has detailed the lessons learned from a (somewhat) recent home invasion of he and his wife. It's a hell of a story and worth your time if you haven't seen it already.
Excerpt and link below.

I couldn't even tell you who won the Super Bowl in 2015... I don't even recall the two teams that played but the events of the next morning will forever live in my mind.
Nearly two years later and countless court dates - I'm just now able to share our experience. I hope in doing so - it will prepare you and your family for what may come. On February 2, 2015 - our lives were changed forever after an attempted home invasion. Below, is a copy and paste of my victim's statement given at the final sentencing. Some personal information has been redacted...
I'll share more in subsequent post...
Your honor, I am here today so that the full impact of this crime is brought to your attention.
Had Nathan succeeded in his attack - the headline in the Citizen-Times that week would have read, "Local Pastor and Wife Killed in Apparent Home Invasion." However, this crime cannot be simplified down to just a case of an unsuccessful home invasion stopped by a good guy with a gun. Rather, this was an unprovoked attempt to kidnap, possibly rape, and then murder my wife. The only thing that stopped Nathan from committing these violent acts – was a husband willing to stand between his wife and someone bent on destroying their home.
