    I say for sure alarm and motion lights, but as far as calling 911, well, since there’s still a shortage of cops, w/more leaving b/c they’re doing away w/drop program, sadly, I wouldn’t count on cops getting there any time soon. Only so many calls they can respond to. Maybe just have your dog wear a bullet-proof vest 😉 hehe

    Jp: I think if you have to choose between calling the cops and cranking up that toy of yours, well, you’re actually better off calling the cops.

    The truly wonderful part about living in California, is that it’s one of the few places in the country where you can be sued for shooting a burglar in defense of your home and family. Also, those 5.56mm rounds you’re putting out have a pesky habit of over penetrating and you run the risk of sending one through a neighbor’s wall and killing little Jimmy while he’s eating Otter Pops and watching “Sponge Bob”.

    Now, if you opted for that Remmie 12ga instead…

    Oh, I know. It’s true. You better make sure if you shoot someone in your house, they’re not some drunk dude breaking into the house b/c he thought it was his house and he lost his keys or something. I’ve heard stories. But if I’m really at risk and they’re seriously there to hurt me, I’ll take my chances. I’d rather be around to potentially be sued than raped or dead. I know how backlogged cops are and if I can call 911, I will, but I think by the time they arrive, a round will probably be used.

    Why don’t folks just get a metal security door. I know they aren’t pretty, but I have one (even in CV). And it perfect when you open the door to strangers, they can’t possibly kick the thing down.

    Second, I find a nice 1 inch think solid cylinder wood bar cut to length is an excellent window and door stop, that allows you to keep the doors/windows with a crack open to let in the cool fresh air, but makes it nearly impossible for someone to break in without shattering the glass.

    Third, you can always put a shatter resistant film on windows so that someone that does smash a window takes more effort

    Warning: if you go that route, make sure you leave one window without it, in case you have a fire and need to escape.
