FWIW, my Glock 17 is my home defense gun and I don't keep one in the pipe. I had a situation similar to yours several months ago. I keep my glock in a mini-vault just so my child can't get to it. When I check out my house I keep one hand on gripped on the slide. I can rack the slide on a Glock and fire very quickly if necessary.
I don't tend to call 911 for things that go bump in the night, etc. I get my gun and carefully check out my house. My land. My house. My family. My responsibility.
