not sure if it's still true, but merely having an ADT sign used to be as effective a deterrent as actually having the alarm service.
Actually, France declared war on Germany because of Poland...

And also, chances are if your going to shoot someone, your going to need to be pretty accurate. If you're not, you let whoever is robbing know you're there, and you put yourself in a predicament that you could have avoided had you hidden in a safe place.
There was this show on the Discovery Channel that had this ex-professional theif that would break into homes to show how alarms can be ineffective.
They can clean you out before the cops get there. I forgot the name of the show, but I'm sure someone here might know it.
Also, last year in Houston, a woman was held hostage in her home while thiefs ransacked her house and threatned to kill her. She had a house alarm. They were able to disable the alarm system by cutting the telephone and power lines outside the house.
Yea, alarm systems are fool proof and so safe.
What happened when Hitler invaded Austria and Hungary? How did the French react?
And, what ultimatley happened to France because they reacted late to the Nazi threat?

A shotgun takes accuracy out of the equation.
If they're standing near you, they're going to get hit and they're going to die.
Thiefs don't give a about that.
Give me a break
You've got to get a really good alarm, which is what I've got. None of that is possible on the expensive ones.
You have no clue what the you are talking about.

I'm sure it's fool proof.
You have no clue how fast thiefs work.
Either way, you've got to get in their line of fire, which is more dangerous than just avoiding the situation by just hiding.
"It Takes a Thief"?
No, it isn't. The best of best is what I have.
Firing a shotgun is a good way to make theives leave. If they don't, it's a good way to make them die.
You can go ahead and hide, if that's your choice (eventhough you had previously stated that not involving yourself was a pussy thing to do).
I'll defend my family, only because I'm willing to put my life on the line for them (as opposed to putting my life on the line for strangers).
Yea, I think that's it.
A shotgun is better.
Once again, no one suggested that they are.
I guess not.

The experts say that the best thing to do is back into a corner, point the gun at the door, and just unload the whole clip if the door opens.
Theives might not be scared of an alarm, but 6 to 13 shots in an enclosed space, even if they all miss will make anyone soil their undies in the rush to GTFO
You're wrong on all that. You're recollection of what I said in that discussion is pretty spotty.
This is what I would do.
What I wouldn't do, is go out of my way to shoot them before finding a place of hide. Your putting yourself on the offensive, which I don't personally feel is the smart thing to do in a robbery situation.
So, you're saying that you didn't say that people who don't intervene are pussies? You didn't say that you would intervene, regardless of the possibility of someone having a weapon?
Is that what you are saying?
