I bet you can't wait till they try it on you so you can finally shoot
somebody......

What would YOU do Sudsy? In all seriousness, do you have any idea
what you would do if someone suddenly came into your house, pointed a
gun in your face, and demanded money?

----Well, first off, I have a dog outside, quite a little noisemaker he
is, too. I doubt anyone would be able to approach the house without my
notice during waking hours.

Yup my neighbor has three big dogs. He thought they would scare off
burglars. Burgled the house at 9am in broad daylight without a bit a
trouble. Dogs are much less of a problem than people think. His will bark at
racoons, possums, cats etc. Not a reliable warning device.

Second, I keep the doors locked when we go
to bed, they'd have to make some noise breaching the doors.

Not enough. If you read the article I posted they came in with an alarm
ringing. Noise breaching doors may or not wake you up. I also posted about
a friend of mine that was having a hard time waking up when he could hear
voices in his house which obviously did not belong there. His alarm was
ringing also.

Third, I
keep a loaded .20 riot shotgun handy.

Cumbersome for a house; but better than an empty hand. Place it where you
have to be standing up when you take it out.

Fourth, they would probably choose
my neighbor's houses to invade, as, like most hispanics, they have turned
their homes into Mediterranean palaces, my home is non-descript in
comparison.

Dont count on it.

Fourth, I've lived in a major metropolitan area most of
my life, and I've never been robbed at gunpoint. That might change as I
get older and seem more vulnerable, but that's the facts. Nonetheless, I
carry a CWP as well.

Get an alarm system and have it monitored.

What would you do if they
threatened your wife and kids?

---Take my wife.Please.
