I have a tactical route planned...

Next to the door is a knife on the hat rack, easily accesible. The hallway is narrow, so knife is best choice..

if i have to back off into the living room I have a very sharp machete hanging so I can grab it as I enter, more room for swinging there :)

I hope I never get to use it, but I want to be sure I have the option if the need arises.

Ranged weapons are for girlymen.
