Okay, James. But, can you imagine someone buying a cased S x S with killer wood for a bedroom gun?
I'm still waiting on the SG and Vo. I know VO ...... but, Vo?

Seems completely plausible to me. Heres a sample scenario I could see playing out:
You keep your Parker AAHE propped just in front of the front door, so when the bad guy comes in he'll first knock it over onto the marble floor making a sizable crash. Then he'll have to smash it out of the way as he pushes the door further, and the sound which rings out as the Damascus barrels smack against the casters on the grand piano will surely alert you.
As he rounds the hall corner he'll then trip over your LC Smith Deluxe, which, wisely, you've laid across the hall floor. If the sound of the Parker bouncing around the foyer didnt wake you, surely the careening of your Smith ratting down the adjacent basement stairs, will. That Krause engraved frame will make a hell of a sound when it hits the concrete at the bottom of the stairs.
At this time he'll have to bash through your bedroom door, which, smartly, you've barred with your Lefever Optimus. It will take the intruder at least a few very firm strikes to snap that Circassian walnut, which you knew ahead of time when you thought this all through.
Such that by the time he steps into the bedroom, you'll have dragged your Laurona out from under the bed, and are now standing stout in your Spider Man pajamas, ready to give him both barrels. You sure were right to cut those barrels down to 18.5 inches...now she swings just right for close up work.
Your fool-proof home defense system worked exactly as planned. And as a parting shot as the police pull up outside, you might even take that Matisse down off the wall and bash it over his head, cartoon style. Just to teach him a lesson he wont soon forget.
