How about a recording of the sound of a gun going off followed by a man yelling "Maw put that gun down, the last fella got his genitals shot off and you damn near went back to prison. Followed by a women's voice saying "Nope got an opportunity to have me some fun". Followed by "Ok but I'm not cleaning up the mess this time".

No, a storm door doesn't offer any more security.
A storm door is nothing more than a sturdier screen door with glass.

I wouldn't become obsessed with redoing and making the front door more secure.
They will only resort to your lanai or other window if they really mean business.

When they want to get in, they will!
