Yeah... hence my trepidation. Lots of responsibility but I also don't want to catch someone in my house or breaking in without anything to defend myself with.

Being a homeowner is one of the biggest responsibilities in my life. The weekend we closed on our house, we bought a security system. I feel like that’s honestly the biggest assurance we have that we are protected. I can’t recommend it enough. We have 24/7 monitoring, all our windows and doors have sensors, outdoor and indoor cameras, glass break detectors, flood detectors, and combo CO/smoke detectors. Have felt very safe with that and don’t feel the need to get a gun in my relatively safe neighborhood.
