"Bringing up the quality of the door is irrelevant in my opinion. "

I do think the quality of the door(s) is very important as it should be part of the overall home defense plan as it's often the first line of defense against a home invader. A standard exterior door offers almost no defense against a home invader. Regardless of where one stands of the issue of private ownership of guns, reinforced doors ought to be a priority for those who feel home security is a need.

"In my eyes the greater burden of preparation falls on the person whose job description includes encountering violent and chaotic scenes. "

A homeowner who has a gun for protection has it because they feel there is a possibility of violent and chaotic actions being perpetrated against themselves or others, either in their homes or outside of their homes. So I would argue that the burden of preparation falls equally on both the police and the armed citizen.
