Hi to all.

This is my first post and I will appreciate if someone could help me with a recommendation of good books or videos about home defense with handguns.

I have taken firing lessons and had a good defense shooting instructor, but I believe that some additional knowledge (at least in theory) could be useful.

Particularly, about what to do and not to do, best tactics, and so on.

My view is using the handgun as last resort. First, I have bars in the windows and an alarm system. Personally, I believe that if someone surprises you inside your own home, your chances of resisting successfully are almost nonexistent, at least for someone that he/she is not an expert in hand-to-hand combat or shooting.
