I don't have a security bar, but I do have a bo staff in the corner next to the door. Does that count? :)

According to the FL Dept of Agriculture there are 1.9 million concealed weapon licensees in FL, 8300 who live in Sumter County. That doesn't account for people who otherwise legally own firearms.

When was the last home invasion in The Bubble? Knowing that might influence my decision.

My home is protected / insured by Smith & Wesson, Glock, Springfield, Remington, Colt, Bushmaster and others. Never thought we needed bars on the doors... :icon_wink:

The trouble with all of these devices is that the person buying them
is thinking that a criminal has the same concern about damaging your property as you do. Obviously that is not the case.

You go to the effort and expense of securing your door. By design all of our windows are close to ground level as a safe fire escape.
You can feel good that when a crook breaks into your home he will not get hurt and sue you for damages due to having gotten hurt going in and out of your property.

Weapons? That is a choice to be made before not after. Be sure
you are going to use it and not just wave it about.

Nope. Wrong again. After a neighborhood get together at which a handful of people said they have one. I thought I would ask.


There has been an increase in crime where the kick in the front door, grab and go.


A neighbor said, for $40, what the hell.

I have two but not to deter a home invasion. We purchased ours before the last hurricane and used them to reinforce the entry doors from being blown in....like others have said our home is protected...

Just hang one of these out.. https://www.amazon.com/Warning-Nothing-Here-Worth-Dying/dp/B01A543ZQG/ref=sr_1_26?keywords=nothing+here+worth+your+life&qid=1557364393&s=gateway&sr=8-26

Although it could happen, I don't feel threathened in my home here.

We followed the Sumter county sheriff recommendation, much larger door plate, much longer screws, extra strength deadbolt, plus other deterrents as necessary.

Not to mention the fact that if someone is really intent on committing a Home Invasion robbery, are they not going to try the dozen or so windows or patio door to get in?

I aspire to be you, VT.

If any thieves are familiar with the area, they might know that the back doors in my neighborhood only have a simple knob lock. A medium shoulder push would probably do it.

I've been meaning to get that strengthened, but the years somehow go by!

My thinking, if they can get to the president... nevertheless, why make your home inviting? I have heard that using a fire extinguisher can be easier than a gun and you can have one in each room too.

[Velvet]

If they can shoot President Kennedy, then they can certainly get me if they really want to...

Same as in our home.....:boom:

First thing have a dead bolt. Nothing will stop a determined bad guy but may slow him down so you can maybe wack him with your 5 iron. If you have a dead bolt make sure the plate that receives the bolt has screws long enough that they go into the house framing 2x4.
Best home defense weapon is a 12 gauge pump short barrel shotgun loaded with shot and not slugs. Keep the safety on and no shell in the chamber. When needed, safety off, dry fire and pump a shell into the chamber. This is safer than a hand gun because if a kid gets a hold of it it is harder to fire it and easier for you to hit your target. Also with deer slugs or hand guns you are shooting up the whole neighborhood the way our houses are built on top of each other.
Just remember that when you touch of a gun in the house you will not be able to hear anything for a while. It is not like in the movies.
Another good home defense weapon is a very bright flashlight. When shined into someones eyes they have night blindness for a short while.

First round in the shotgun should be birdshot, won't penetrate walls easily , after that 00 buckshot. For handgun ammo use Hollow points.....
