2nd is to practice for low light / no light drills.
What's the distance from his bedroom to entry points? The list goes on and on.
Slightly OT. Have a woman veteran down here who had an I NEED A GUN IN EVERY ROOM! mentality. Due to issues in her area. She was under the impression this would give her the opportunity to access one in a situation. Suggested she forget the entire every room mentality. Get a good holster, belt etc so she only had the one with herer when ever she was awake.
Depending on a "gun in every room" also gives the opposing team ease of access to any of them where you're not.
Remember a safe, like a locked door, only keeps honest people out.
