Knee jerk reactions tend to harden both sides. So next time the perp brings a bigger gun and fires it faster. Fatalities start feuds.

So your answer is a safe room and leave your door unlocked?
Pretty much, unless you have a backhoe and bush lot.
Safe rooms are a great idea. Make your family paranoid while tying up a half a million in unusable real estate.
What would an adult Kevin McAllister do?
Safe room in walk-in closets use very little additional space. How you feel about the heavy doors is subjective.
Very few houses have a good setup to get the entire family into a safe room(s) after an incursion.

A couple of large mastiffs are a pretty good deterrent.
Pricey and time consuming for proper stewardship but you get plenty back in return.
A few years back, pre Trump, I led some US rednecks from Niagara to Trenton because they had trouble understanding our maps. One rider in particular was wetting his pants about riding through cities. (They couldn't carry). That guy figured we could go north to Barrie and head east from there, on Goldwings.
I hope I never become that paranoid.
In some little towns people don't lock their doors, leave keys in vehicles. I'm more cautious.
A friend used to leave his cottage unlocked with a notepad on the table. If you dropped in while they were away you left a note, "Thanks for the beer". Now the place is full security, alarms and cameras.
How safe does a safe room have to be if they're out to get you? Common wall construction barely slows down a bullet.
With a typical city lot, a property line breech might give you three seconds warning before someone's at your door. Three seconds later the typical door is kicked in.
To work, safe room drills are needed and you have to live edgy. Unfortunately life is heading that way.
A previous member here had his house robbed, while he was at work, by some 20 year old with a backpack. Middle of the day. He just walked up to the front door, kicked it in, went through the house for a few minutes, then went out the back sliding door. Cops said he hit several houses the same way, that same day. Low effort, low return, but thousands in damage to every place he hit.

Duplex drama.
and where did the bullet end up.
Locally two cops responding to a domestic issue follow a guy to a bedroom and one cop discharges his side arm twice due to a knife threat. Both shots miss. 10 X 12 room.
Caledon did a tint and plate blitz. I suspect most entitled wankers won't change the vehicles and just pay the fines.

Now that's what I call crime fightin'...
It is though. Hidden plates defeat alpr which identifies many crimes. Window tint is a problem for an officer on a traffic stop who can't see what they are walking up to. It also helps insulate people from consequences as the drivers can't be seen by witnesses/cameras. By themselves, tint and plates aren't a big deal but they are often used by people committing far worse crimes.
