Home security/defense

The main thing you need is a few seconds to prevent a sneak attack

two ways to get into the house (besides windows which you will be able to hear breakage)
Garage and front door...

When my alarm is set in home and away mode I have motion sensors in the garage and plus door sensors.

When I am away at night or go to sleep a door knob security bar is on the front door


This will not keep someone from getting in but should slow them down.

Also have a door wedge alarm


The purpose is to gain a few extra critical seconds.

+ I have a trained attack dog .. No one gets close to the house unannounced when you have a Terrier



Also have a Simplisafe Panic Button installed on backside of headboard, cops are automatically dispatched without a call from the call center

I'd wonder what they left me out of pity.

look, another KC home invasion

GRANDVIEW, Mo. - Police are looking for three men who reportedly tortured four Grandview residents for more than three hours early Sunday morning.
Police said the men broke into a home in the 11800 block of Delmar at 2 a.m. Sunday. One woman was raped and three men were scalded with hot grease, according to Grandview Police.
Police said one of the men also got an ankle injury after a suspect assaulted him with a power tool.
Police received a 911 call at 5:30 a.m., when one of the victims was able to run to a neighbor’s home to call police. All four victims were taken to an area hospital for treatment. None of them injuries were life threatening.
Police said the suspects fled after stealing a vehicle. Kansas City, Mo., police recovered that car, but there was no sign of the suspects.
Anyone with information regarding the suspects or the crime is urged to contact the TIPS hotline at 816-474-TIPS.

**** it, I'm buying a gun.

Actually, whenever I read a story like that, I can't help but think there's more to it than what's being told. If someone is coming into your house to steal shit, why would they waste their time torturing and raping? This seems more like some sort of "payback" type of thing. I find it hard to believe shit like that just randomly happens.

There probably is more to the story. Why torture them unless you need some information or something. Still though, people are stupid now days and are very unpredictable

Now this is why you need High Cap Mags

(Personal opinion here - not stats.) The other issue I see is that most burglaries are intended to steal shit, not to kill people. While some burglars may carry a weapon in case they end up having to confront people, their primary intent is to steal things of value. Even when confronted, most aren't going to immediately want to kill someone if they don't have to. They'll make threats, they'll point a gun at you, but they're not going to pull a trigger unless they're really feeling threatened. And a homeowner pointing a gun at someone is decidedly threatening.

Will you get to them first? Maybe. But there's a good chance shots wouldn't have been fired in the first place had the homeowner not gone in guns blazing.
