It's one of those ones where you can punch in the code, which pops open the door, and pull your weapon out in five seconds.

With my apartment, it's on the fifth floor, and while there is a balcony, you'd have to be Spiderman to be able to climb up to it, so chances are any attacker will come in through the front door. If that happens, I lock myself in my bedroom, get my gun ready, call the police and aim at the door. Let the intruder have the living room and kitchen - I can always get more stuff, but if he kicks down my locked bedroom door, I think that's a good sign he's hostile and an immediate threat to my life and limbs, so that's when I open fire.
