This is not meant as criticism! I really want to know.
Why the home armory? What is it that you're concerned about? Random home invasion/robbery? Targeted assault by someone who doesn't like you? Government black helicopters?
How does one get singled out as the victim of a crime? Police don't know, I certainly don't and I doubt that the perps have employed much logic or reason in the selection of most of their targets. They are often crimes of the moment. You can either meet the application of force with a greater force or succumb to the perps.
I read this quote which handily sums up the situation...
"A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.
Other useful quips with a ring of reality...
Good judgement comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgement.
When seconds count the police are only minutes away.
Draw quickly. Shoot carefully. No one has been killed by a loud noise.
At the core of liberalism is the spoiled child - miserable as spoiled children are, unsatisfied, demanding, ill-disciplined, despotic and useless. Liberalism is a philosophy of snivelling brats. P. J. O'Rourke
Life's tough, pilgrim, and it's even tougher if you're stupid.
When it comes down to protection, you are the only one who is responsible for you and your family, the rest of us are observers and recorders of history at best. Many of us mind our own business and are not keen on preventing crimes perpetrated upon the general population which would put our family at risk. The police don't often stop crimes, but they can solve them. Fat lot of good that does you...
