Make sure you shoot the violent home invaders inside to the point where they fall inside. Don't shoot people in the doorway. Legal troubles. I'm sure you know this but it's good to keep it in your thoughts. Hope no ever tries anything. Hope your dog is loud. That's a nice deterrent.

It used to be said that flags were deterrents. Lowly drug addicts assumed the home had gun owners who could aim. I don't think the average addict who breaks into empty homes has a thought process anything like that! If anyone was thinking along those lines, then maybe the invasion robbers might think, "Ooh, goodie! Guns!" They're not that smart either. Usually they're after a money deal gone wrong. So, don't deal with drug dealers. Cuts down on the home invasion risk (unless they hit the wrong house - addresses are so hard to understand).

I am expecting flowers! From my deployed soldier. Thanks for the reminder. I live in a neighborhood of WWII vets and college renters. We have a constant influx of con artists, drug addict break ins and occasional home invasion robberies which turn out to be college drug money disputes.

I had a guy come to my door yesterday selling something. I have a no sales sign. Instead of saying hello to me, he said, "I'm not a bad man. Don't shoot!" Is that supposed to be funny and why would you think I would give you money when you make violence jokes and I have a sign essentially telling you to stick it in your ear? If he was scouting for future break ins, way to make yourself memorable, Einstein.

Oh, by the way, this is a "good" neighborhood. We had a registered sex offender once. That was exciting. A rapist. Cops went to his house a lot. I have no idea why. Check the offender info online, folks.
