A thought just occurred. You could be like a normal person and get a dog.


Not only will dogs protect your home but they love you so much! Dogs are a burglary deterrent and a good weapon should burglary not be deterred.


Edit: or a dog and a revolver.

I think buying shotguns for home defense is an icky idea...the mess...

I'm curious as to why our thoughts of home invasion defense are so different? Alarm system and/or dog instantly springs to my mind...not so much firearms. Maybe a blunt weapon.

I don't think it's the fact that I don't have a wife and kid that makes me different. If I had kids I definitely would not want a gun in my house.
Maybe it comes down to our respective levels of paranoia. I currently have no alarm system and my dog just died yet I still manage to sleep just fine at night.
