You are preparing for an emergency that we all hope never happens. The training that you are providing your grandchildren may prove valuable someday. There is no one way that everyone can prepare for the unthinkable, but you have put a plan together and it sounds as good as any that I have heard of.
I hope that your shoulder heals to the point that you feel comfortable practicing again. A firearm in your hands is no danger to any honest person, and it may be the tool that you can use to protect your family and yourself.
It is a shame that anyone in our country should have to make plans for this kind of event, but it may be needed someday.
