[QUOTE="Gideon, post: 836615, member: 7898"] Be sure to consider overall security, not just armed defense. Make sure doors get locked, and that the locks are solid and installed properly. Lock windows, and maybe consider designing your yard to make it difficult to reach them (bushes in front of 'em n whatnot). If you have old cell phones, keep them charged, and keep one in every room. Even if it's not activated with a network, it can still be used to call 911 at any time. Keep some form of weapon in each room as well, this doesn't neccessarily mean a gun or knife, obviously, but a bat or even a yard-stick is always nice. If you have a security system, don't leave the sign out front "This home protected by Brinks", etc. as it tips off intruders as to the type of system and make it easier to evade. Get your wife to help you plan out your security, she needs to be thinking about things, as the only real way to stay secure is to be consistently thinking on it. I'm sure you've already thought about these things, but I figured I'd throw out a few ideas just in case. ;) [/QUOTE]
