If his wife has access, knows how to use it and is willing, that is a blessing.

Does that mean the "wife at home" is your daughter?

So, how did it all come out? Were the police called? Was the break-in thwarted? Perpetrators apprehended or at least identified?

What lessons were learned that could be shared here to make this thread of greatest value possible?

I always have a backup .He learned a valuable lesson. Never leave home without your gun.

And never leave your home undefended?

A dog is an excellent early warning system.

Hardening exterior entry points.

Exterior lights.

Video system to observe approach paths.

Intercom system that the Sheriff could have used to reduce the alarm.

Just some random thoughts.

And what lesson did your daughter learn, the one at home with his gun?
