The incident should remind us that the people we invite people we trust into our homes. No matter what someone says, if they’re a stranger be aware that they might have bad intentions.

We must be aware at all times of visitors in our homes. Never open the door to anyone you’re not sure about and if people are inside, know where your protection is.

It’s also a good reminder to stay trained on how to use firearms even if you don’t own one. Knowing how to handle a firearm in a crisis situation can end up being what saves your life.

In this woman’s case, she was able to find a weapon and use it to defend herself, even though it wasn’t hers. It pays to train with several firearms and teach others how to respect various types of guns. There just may be a time when using an unfamiliar weapon is the only chance of survival.
