non lethal alternative to guns for home protection

Use lethal force to defend your home.

Most nonlethal methods would involve some sort of "trap" that may injure or maim, and you would be more liable for lawsuits and may even be penalized as a criminal for that.

But you're going to pay 2-3x the price of a regular shotgun.

I don't understand the question. The prisons are overcrowded, the courts are overcrowded, the justice system is a joke and most criminals are recidivists. What's the point of non-lethal home defense? Don't take half measures.

i concur. i would rather have a gun and solve the problems myself.
sometimes i go crazy myself though. i might use the gun on the neighbors if they forget to scoop up their dog's poop. today im sane not to use a gun. what's to stop me from going postal tomorrow? that's why i always laugh whenever people say it's a mental issue. good luck spotting future crazies.

You sound like Michael Douglas in Falling Down, which can and does happen every day.

I'm fun! I'd pretty much give you whatever you wanted anyways, except the cat, because we're internet friends. 🙂

I have a 37" Vizio from 2006 you can totally keep.
 
A nagging wife might do the trick, but she could nag to a point the person commits suicide, and thus not meet your requirements.
 
No respect for criminal's lives or sympathy for whatever reason they may use to justify their reason to turn to crime. Lethal all the way. Don't like it then stay the F away from my home.
 
FM200 system. It does not directly kill them, it just happens to make them to die of natural causes due to lack of oxygen.

Personally I'm a strong believer that one should be 100% allowed to use lethal or excessive force to protect their house or themselves. Though some cops have told me, just make it look like an accident, and they'll probably side with you as they want to catch those people anyway and if you kill them it saves them lot of trouble from trying to get them charged etc.

"I don't know officer, he went to charge me with that knife but tripped and fell on it, 38 times!"

Castle law, FTW. But I would toss a piece of firewood their way...
 
If someone breaks into my home thru forfeit their right to live and deserve to die. Lethal methods only for me.
