Our house contains enough stabbing weapons to outfit a small militia... or to send one to its grave should it attempt an assault.
That doesn't mean we're protected against everything. Point blank, it's impossible to protect against every conceivable kind of attack on your home, and sooner or later, if someone wants to do you harm badly enough, they'll find a way. Fortunately, most people attempt a break-in with the purpose of stealing things, which gives us at least a chance to fight back against them, or to call the police... or both. However, if someone's only goal is to hurt or kill a home's inhabitants, than what could you, or I, or Rockwulf do about someone chucking handfuls of live grenades through our windows?
Shit happens, and it's impossible to guard against all of it. You had it right earlier when you said, "You weren't there, so how would you know anything?" We weren't, so we don't. I'm very glad everyone's alright though.
