i ran into a guy who is a might ... [paranoid] [over] prepared...
check this... he actually installed a diamond style metal plate UNDER his king sized bed, in case bad guys try shooting UP through the floor... his walk in closet is lined with the stuff, and has an extra special strong door and frame - same for the main door to the master bedroom. SAME for the door at the top of the stairs leading to the top floor. the walls in the stair hallway are simply paneled with hardwood to slow anyone down trying to sheetrock tunnel around the top door [1] the upstairs windows are bullet proof per se, just lexan. there are multiple alarms systems. interior motion sensors and cameras.
he keeps his and her combat shotguns, and electronic "ears" AND vests and eye protection and gloves and crap just under the bed; so in the event of issues, they can grab and don. they practice.
in the event of home invasion, they can call out a number of ways (land line, cell phone, computer, cb radio...); when and if the "police" show up, they can throw down keys to the downstairs doors (if not already open) with a note and walkie talkie, and wait while the police sweep the house, and lock up before they come out of their safe haven.
he did get cranky when i mentioned someone coming in through the ceiling
but that's what they closet is for, and they have lots of ammo and food ;P ahahha.
[1] some houses are so flimsy these days, that some can enter your home from an outside wall faster than you can say "shit!". big prypar on your outside sheathing, pop, and in they come through the studs. same for interior walls in condos and apartments and ... why go through the door, when you can axe/cut through sheetrock in seconds?
