if it helps, i'm 23+ years as a cop, and not just line officer, did tours in narcotics, 18 yrs swat, and I am in command staff .
Police are to clean up afterwards, rarely do we get there in time. violence happens to quick, criminals know that fast and furious , in and out gets what they want and a short term get away. That is how they live thier lives, in the wake a lot of innocent people get laid low.
Keep your guns, get trained on law and tactics , combine the two and keep your young family safe. young lad you are the head of your house, your father in law needs to respect that and respectfully disagree but also not undermine you. If he does less then he is not much of a man or example for his family.
Stand your ground and do the right thing, protect your family in a complete fashion, you use life insurance, a strong work ethic to provide, seat belts in the car and guns at hand for those with malice. best luck and god's blessing
