True JPINPB, there really isn’t much that can stop a bullet, the trick is to deter. Ironically the only way to insure safety is to shoot first and ask questions later, that’s just not really a good idea though, unless the burglar threatens one’s life, that will just get one a prison sentence. A barking dog will alert one to check the perimeter, then one can be prepared. With motion lights,cameras, and barking dogs, i think most burglars would think twice.
