Maybe I don't write clearly.
I began with the idea that a first step is an early wake up device.Whether it is a motion detecting alarm,a really good dog or an iron gate across the hall to the bedroom,per Jeff Cooper.
The reason was ,if the bad guy is on top of someone as they are still sleeping,it may not matter what sort of weapon is available.The importance of some method of early wake up is the sole reason I included the 200 lb guy.
The next step,was to become armed.
I was inspired to write the thread after reading another person ask about a .32 H+R Mag for his wife.I also recalled my ex,who could enjoy plinking,but just wasn't into a centerfire defense handgun.
I do not pose myself as an expert,or telling anyone what they should do.I posed this thread to discuss the issue.I appreciate what PAX had to say.
