Of course there are other ways to enter a house.
My guess is that this would stop the first push, but repeated pushes are likely to shear off the screws in a metal door or strip them out of a wooden door. This door stop is designed to keep a normally closed door in the open position.

I use a metal pole with a rubber foot that wedges up under the door handle. This is simply a deterrent.

I am speaking of the break ins and burglaries before the most recent two.

If you want to know who they were go to the online news and they have mugshots and names of everyone arrested in this area. Look under crime in the toolbar.

I agree Kitty. All it takes is one burglar to get shot and the word will get out.

There was an unsubstantiated rumor that they were agents hired by Stonecrest to disrupt our peace and tranquility and drive home sales to The Villages competitors.

The stand your ground law is an after fact, it doesn't just allow you to expend rounds at an intruder unless you feel your life is in imminent danger. And you have to prove that in court.

And god forbid you've had a few drinks at some point, you test over the limit, they are going to charge you with a felony and that will also be brought up in your manslaughter case.

I worked for a class III FFL for years, the laws in florida are different then Missouri but the court system is the same.

What happens if you miss? that round is still going to have sufficient velocity to severely injure or kill one of your neighbors.

What happens if you hit but its a through and through? The same thing can still happen.

I am also a combat veteran, and have worked in the security industry for years.

A home defense weapon is a shotgun or a 9mm with personal protection rounds. anything else (your .357 magnum, high powered rifle etc), anything with more power then that endangers your neighbors as much as the intruder.

I have plenty of guns, but i still have a security system, i would rather the intruder see the sign, or be scared by the siren, then have to put a round in them, ANY DAY.
I too have guns and a security system along with a safe. Since there are so many wood frame homes in TV I suggest a shotgun with birdshot to avoid overpenetration. I watched a demonstration on a shooting show and birdshot is deadly at close range without overpenetration. Even 00 buckshot can overpenetrate if it doesn't hit a wood frame.
