My first line of defense, behind an alarm system, is my 10 yrs old female Australian Shepherd. She is very protective and excellent with kids, although it's her bark that will likely wake me, and everyone else in rye house, before the alarm system is triggered.
After that, anyone who's dumb enough to continue to with attempting to enter my home will be facing my 12 ga 14" Mossberg 590A1 SBS (in the closest bedroom closet), my duty-issued .40 S&W Sig P226R, and/or my 9mm Gen 4 Glock 19 (both in a GunVault safe under my nightstand). Each of the handguns has their own mounted weapon light (a Surefire X300 on the Sig and an Insight M-6 laser/light combo) and the shotty sports a Surefire 621FA WeaponLight. There's also a .40 Glock 27 in the gun safe.
I also have a Surefire P2X Fury LED flashlight (low 15/max 500 lumens), and a Benchmade 551S Griptilian combo blade folder on my nightstand.
