Same situation here.
I have three small children, and our house is a split floor plan. Their bedrooms are on the other side of the house. I absolutely would not be able to "Barricade" myself in one room, and wait for help to arrive. At least not until I went and rounded everyone up.
Because I would have to try to get everyone, and get to a safer place in the house to hold up, I think a long gun for me is out of the question, as it would be too hard to wrangle three kids and a rifle or a shotgun.

Agreed.
I carry a Glock 27 inside the house, and it goes with me where ever I go. I even have it when I'm sleeping. Other than that, I have a hand held light. I honestly don't think I would have time to access another weapon.
Once we were all in one location, ( time and situation permitting ), then I could see bringing a shotgun or rifle into play.
