I have a Bushnell 1500 lumen full-size flashlight with strobe feature (good for disorienting attackers), a Gerber 06FAST tanto knife, several different XD's including an XDE .45, and all my EDC gear on my belt - all I have to do if I'm in bed is pull my pants on and slip my feet into my shoes. But aside from my EDC which includes an IFAK, I have a slick minimalist concealable rifle-rated (III+) plate carrier and my AR-15 loaded & ready with Hornady TAP LE ammo, if it gets especially intense. Bugout bag sits ready at my front door if I have to leave in a hurry.
1500 lumens maybe enough not to need the gun. You could just incinerate the bad guy.
I keep a handgun and a .300blk AR pistol in a fast action safe just in case. I also keep electronic ear protection handy. I know if someone kicks in you're door the first thing to grab isn't the earmuffs but if you just heard a suspicious noise the extra amplification of natural sounds picked from the microphone in the muffs will only help you in your investigation/clearing the premises.
Plus you will not need to worry about going deaf should the action commence.

don't forget the panic button on the keys will not only wake your neighbors but also scare the intruder

Also don’t forget the German Shepard who sleeps at the top of the stairs! That’s a great deterrent, early alert, and tactical advantage.
I must say thank you for an excellent idea

I have to say, that is one aspect of hearing protection I had not considered. Great idea!
Absolutely and also carry a good CCW insurance.
I didn't know there was ccw insurance but that's a good call. Protect yourself in every way.
I have added my Walker muffs to my nightstand today. Again thanks for a great idea
Personal opinion if you carry or own a gun get yourself the piece of mind with one of these two CCW Insurance companies

I keep a 357mag on nite stand with .cell phone.In shoulder bag 3 speed loabers five inch fixed blade and 300 lumins flash light.Backup is eight round Mossberg 500.Will add hearing and first aid to bag.
I'm very happy with US & Texas Law Shield. They also offer classes. They just did an active shooter class at our church. Really great coverage with pro gun lawyers on call 24/7.
at night: alarm system, 3 dogs, my XDs with hollow points, an AR loaded and 8 extra mags, a wife with a 9mm, a strobe flashlight, and a safe room a few feet away with 2 cell phones and my gun safe. Plus a small town where the police station is 2 minutes away.

I was alway taught to be conscious of ammo type. Dont need rounds penetrating many walls or outside the buidling and killing neighbors in an adjoining apartment or house in typical urban sprawl.

Which is why most people I know either EDC with Federal HST or Hornady Critical Duty/Defense.
