Here in Colorado we have a "make my day law". If you catch someone entering your property unlawfully, you are allowed to use any necessary force to stop them. Including shooting them. Sorry to hear about the attempt. We had my wife's Jeep broken in to at our old house and I didn't sleep good for weeks.

Claymore's would work great for intruders too.

Thats it im moving, i like that law, here you can get in jail if you do any harm to a thief, all you can do really if you catch them in the act is to ask if they want a cop of coffe.

on the street where i live in the last 20 years we have never had a breakin

dogs are proberly a reason why

interesting video......don't use tint,use paint,much like a car the tint will hold the glass so it's not as noisy breaking....

also heard the pin pads can be defeated by running a box cutter blade behind them.

going away for the weekend?
lock the rollers to the track useing sliding locks that go threw holes drilled in the roller tracks ......and i know someone used key locks in there too,you could pound them off but thats noisy(Said it keeps the kids from leaving it wide open too,they have to use the side door)

This is my portable burglar alarm....it sometimes gives off false alarms,but it is learning mode,
and with those ears seems to hear everthing lol

at least when i shoot,i just aim 3 feet up from the bark

"3 feet up from the bark." That's funny right there!

my buddie installs this 3m security film stuff and it seems to work pretty well. my girlfriend community center used to get broken into all the time but since the got this stuff put on i don't have to drive her down twice a week in the middle of the night to secure the place.

Thats some tough stuff.

I wonder if you can just order it and do it yourself.
