With recent unrest and riots, anyone changing their home defense plan?

I've always kept all my guns unloaded and locked in a safe, except for one shotgun next to my bed. I live in a fairly small city in NJ, about 40,000 population, that is very racially mixed. It's a pretty nice middle-class area and in the 14 years I've been here everyone seems to get along nicely. Lately we've had a lot of things happening: vulgar graffiti, cars broken into, broken storefront windows. Nothing like the riots you see on TV, but stuff we've never seen here before.
So with all the shit going on, I've placed loaded handguns in several spots around my home. Behind the couch cushions, in the bathroom vanity and in the cupboard next to the kitchen sink. I really don't think anything violent is going to happen here, but you never know. I hope I never face a situation where I have to defend myself with physical force, but I'm getting ready just in case.
I live in a condo complex on the first floor, so I've also started leaving my balcony sliding door unlocked and open an inch or so - just in case I need to make a quick exit. It would be tough to climb up to my balcony but you could jump down without serious injury.
Got something to say?
