Carrying is smart, so is having a couch gun. I have several things to compensate for surprises, doorbell cam, outdoor cameras, alarm system. Those items help to give a bit longer notice than not having them. As for practice lets face it, range time and ammo can get very expensive. Classes are the same, some require 400 to 800 rds of ammo and may not be close. Practice when you can. Practice drawing from a holster (hiding spot or in your car or couch location) and dry firing.  Also, attackers rarely take the time to train, they may have far less experience than you. So in many cases, a person who practices drawing, dryfiring or practices at the range has a bit of an edge.</blockquote>
