Good article, with good concepts/ideas. However, as with most, but not all, articles and discussions on this subject matter I have read or heard, there seems to be an ongoing idea that just about everyone lives in a huge residence/house.
Mentions of developing/having multiple layers of defense and barricades that the bad guys have to get through to get to you most often do not exist. Granted, the St. Louis couple appear to live in a very large, 2 story, concrete "house". I'm sure that structure has multiple walls, doors, etc to slow the progress of an aggresor, if said doors are closed/locked/ barricaded.
Most "average" homes I've been in have minimum walls, doors, etc. to barricade. Of course there are exceptions to that depending on the design. It's like our local weatherman usually states during tornado season that one needs to have at least 3-5 walls (for protection) between themselves and the empending storm. Once I have 3 walls between me and the storm, I'm then outside with the storm.

One must adapt and develop their "plans" on their own circumstances, and vulnerabilities of their domincle and immediate surroundings.
Even in a small home multiple layers of defense can be developed, often with some imagination.
Weather events are another issue, and topic for discussion when it comes to survival.

A lot of these threads have really good ideas however every situation is different and requires a different approach as well as a different level of deterrent to make it hard to be a victim of a home invasion or property damage. Yes have a plan and practice it but don’t take a plan and try to use that, make a plan that fits your needs and your lifestyle.

If the McCloskeys were actually afraid I believe they would have stayed in their house. The mob may or may not have been on their lawn but they weren’t tearing anything up or trying to get into the house. This was people reacting emotionally to a potentially dangerous situation. And that’s never smart. And they both need to take some classes on safe weapon handling. That said, I’m not sure they broke any laws. Missouri law is pretty clear on use of force, especially on your own property.
Back on point, the premise of the article is 100% correct, but every situation is different. That’s the point I think. Take the time to come up with the best plan possible for your situation.
