Leaving the garage door up not only gives people access to your garage, but good cover to work on access to the house even if the door between is locked. It costs nothing to close the garage door, and accomplishes nothing positive to leave it open. You and your folks need to give serious thought to more basic security issues before or concurrently with any discussion of having a firearm in the house. A gun is not a solution to every problem, and is certainly not the only consideration to address in home security.
