What security measures do you have in place at your house?

20+ window/door sensors, 2 sirens, 8 glass breaks, 3 motion detectors, cell and landline dialing, two dogs, upgraded locks and jambs, and one PZT video cam.
 
Question: What's a better defense against break-ins. A loud, big, aggressive dog, or a homeowner with a gun that is sleeping?
 
I live out in the boonies, so my security is lots of guns and good neighbors. They have called me a couple of times when people were at my house when I was at work. If I hadn't known who it was they were going to call the cops.

Dog. Folks lived in the same house for 40 years. Neighborhood went WAY downhill. EX.: Had a guy stab another, a few doors down, with a sword. They had German Shepherds or Rotties. Never had any problems.

It depends on whether or not the homeowner has a security system in the house (alarm). If not, then I'd say a big loud dog is better to have. A gun has no benefit to a sleeping homeowner that is unaware of a break-in.

What could you possibly need all of that for? Do you live in Fort Knox?

Another problem with America is that people think they somehow are more special or more important than anyone else alive and everyone that's not like them is out to get them, steal what they have, blow up their town, rape their wives, kidnap their kids, etc. Unless you're some celebrity, your shit really does stink the same as everyone else's, and chances are your upper-middle-class suburban house blends in with the 70 other ones in your housing plan.

(No offense to you specifically, Alkemyst... when I say "you" I'm addressing those who feel they're somehow more special than everyone else. For all I know, you could live in the middle of the biggest ghetto in Detroit. 🙂)
