First line of defense: well lit exterior. Cameras. Reinforced door & locks. Alarm advertised (but not the system that’s actually installed). And then a dog.First line of defense ..

Not too many perps like a snarly dog looking back at them
No invasion beats an attempted; attempted, but can’t get in beats having to deal with one any day.
Having to actually “go to guns” means something mucked up badly.

You gonna make some noise though bruh.
Sliding glass doors are easy. All you need is a flat bar and you're in in 10 seconds. Modern houses built with vinyl siding are easiest. Unzip some siding, kick a hole through the crap they use for sheathing these days. Won't even trip an alarm unless you have proximitys.

Smash your window and in the come. If they have a firearm and you dont, or not in reach.. well, rest is history.
Not all invasions are stealthy.
Lots of criminals could care less

They would have trouble with our windows and sliding glass doors. It is part of the prep albeit somewhat expensive. The home is brick over concrete which is also expensive. Our exterior doors have steel mesh and are on steel reinforced frames set in concrete. Locks are Grade One commercial long throw pick resistant dead bolts. The alarm system is a custom design with a week of battery backup. A whole house generator on natural gas takes care of the power if the electric grid fails. The interior walls are ArmorCore so people are not going to be able to shoot through our interior walls.
Is all of this expensive? Yes, but well worth it if it means neither my wife or I have to shoot people which is our goal. It doesn't mean we wouldn't shoot, but rather we are willing to spend money to avoid it if at all possible.
We travel too much to have a dog.

I understand. They better be REAL stealthy around here though. Believe that.

If they are running NVG you probably got yourself into some deep
with someone.
Yes. I was up to 11. I’ve rehomed a few. Tomorrow I’ll be down to 6 dogs. I’m staying at 6. No more rescues for a while. I have to learn to say no. Saturday, the boys will be perimeter training the 4 young males. Should be a fun weekend.First line of defense ..

“Whats that, KF? I can’t hear you with all this NV gear on.”
“I’m Batman.”
“You’re right, it is hot man.”
“I’M BATMAN!”
“I thought you owned the night.”
“That too.”
“Ok, then.”
