Where I'm at right now is a tight fitting residential area (I have a whopping 6k sq ft lot). With so many homes for others to hide in/around, my ability to watch around me is limited. PLUS, bullets will go through my walls. If the bad guys (BG's) want to get to me all they have to do is randomly shoot into my home. Eventually they'll get me. Even if they didn't take that approach, as Troublco said ""You've got to sleep some time".
I still say that in longer term scenarios, my best choice is distance and dissappear.
