1. Get a dog
2. Get an alarm

The shotgun probably offers your best odds in a firefight despite your lack of experience with it. Like horse-shoes and hand-grenades, close enough counts with buckshot.
Shoot a few dozen clay birds with field loads to become comfortable with the controls. Try to have your other family members do the same.

The rifle will take more skill to use effectively in a firefight, and offers a greater chance of over penetration and collateral damage through adjacent walls or houses. Keep it ready for repelling your borders over 50 yards.

To prepare, try to always carry when home. A home invasion will happen almost instantly. Use your carry pistol to fight your way to a long arm or to loved ones. Train your family members to responsibly defend you and themselves with the family guns.

Good luck to you
