Not pictured:
My NVG's
My Crossbow
My last resort pick-axe. It's a hell of an intimidating thing if someone comes at you in a parking lot with a tire iron (it fits great in the trunk of my vehicle).

If you'll please excuse the mess (I'm in the progress of cleaning out my storage unit).

Next to my bed - Katana and Sai, both of which I have trained with extensively.
On the wall - Bastard sword, two handed sword.
In my emergency box in the computer room - Machete, heavy duty flashlight, tonfa, garrotte.
In my wardrobe - Tiger claws
In my gun safe in my bathroom - lever shotgun, nine mill.

What is that Optic? EoTech? Looks odd for some reason.

It's an IR MARS. It's like an Aimpoint in that it uses a red dot, but has an integrated 850 nm laser (IR, can only be seen with night vision) that zeroes automatically to the point of aim of the red dot.

In other words, you zero the red dot, and your laser is zeroed. Useful, because unless you have a range that will let you turn out the lights and shoot with your night vision, it's going to be hard to zero.

Was originally designed for the IDF's Tavor rifle but works fine on an AR.

Interesting, I'm only familiar with the EoTech 512 and Aimpoint M68's. I've heard the MARS mentioned but never gotten my mitts on one. Sounds like a nice combination of the PAQ lasers and an optic though, price tag must be insane the more I think about it.

Answering the OP: My weapons of choice are the sword and dagger in the bedroom closet, less than six linear feet from my hands when I'm alseep in bed. The geometry of my apartment works in my favor here, getting into the bedroom means getting into melee range. Sword swats the gun barrel/arm; dagger goes in for the gut to cripple; return stroke with the sword across the side of the neck for the fatality.

Next.

The attacker has a handgun= BOOM headshot!

That is why I have a 9mm handgun in my nightstand, a shotgun (not loaded) under my bed, a family heirloom saber hanging from my wall (sharp as hell), a body armor capable of stopping most of the powerful handgun bullets, a military-grade helmet and as a last resort, 3x throwing knives. However, as you may have guessed, it takes a while to get all of this equipment on. I have actually used the handgun once against a burglar. I bet his leg still hurts in jail.

Not actually that easy to get even a handgun over here in Oz. Plus my house is tightly put together, so actually encourages grappling etc in the event of a burglary/home invasion.
