Do you have any sort of personal home protection/security?

[The Sum of Awe]

Such as a firearm, an alarm system, a knife by your bed, a machete?

Or even just a burglar alarm?

 

[Sand Dancer]

We have the first one you listed.

I used to have an alarm system at the old house but I don't have one now. I live in the country in a one acre fenced fortress at the end of a long gravel road and there is only one way in and one way out. Nobody even knows there is a house down there since it is all covered by trees.

I don't think anyone would want to take a chance of not being able to escape, and besides, there are two cars parked in front and I am home all the time except when I go out grocery shopping once a week or walking once a day. Besides that, the three neighbors on the road before my house are always watching out for me.

My previous house was also in the country on 3.5 acres, but it was on the corner of two county roads and I was burglarized several times, since it was easy-in, easy-out. Once while I was at work in broad daylight a burglar cleaned out everything in the house, including a washer and dryer, so I had to get an alarm system or else he insurance would cancel my insurance.

A firearm, a security system, and a dog that hates anyone that lets themselves into the house that isn't us (he almost bit a contractor we left the door unlocked for).

An alarm system, a Doberman (my Lab might cuddle and lick an intruder to death), a couple of firearms, some bows, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, and a Louisville Slugger. It's a little Fort Knox here. There's also plenty of diabolical witchcraft references all throughout the property, a welcome to some - a warning to many.

 

[Guitar's Cry]

We have a rifle, various crossbows and other archery equipment, swords, knives, martial arts weapons like sais and nunchaku, self defense tools like pepper gel and tasers, and both my wife and I practice martial arts and have had firearm training.

More so than that we lock our doors, keep our car keys by our beds, have escape plans and practice for home invasion

 

[rational experiences]

Really?

 

[F1fan]

I have condoms and an attack kitten.

I'm a lover, not a killer.

 

[F1fan]

Seriously, my neighbor is retired and a total busy body. If a hummingbird farts in the neighborhood he knows about it.

 

[Viker]

I have condoms

If they're used....I would stay the hell about a mile away.

Lucky you, they are brand new.

I'm thinking of getting some life sized sasquatch statues to place around the yard. Especially if they have eyes that glow at night.

 

[Revoltingest]

- Locks on doors.
- Someone always home, either us or tenants.
- Handgun. Son is also armed.

 

[Viker]

Lucky you, they are brand new.

Then I would be dispatched by the attack kitten murder beast.

If you walk is with a plate of chicken, yes. A piece of chicken, your finger, all the same thing. She's a savage.

I've been to Willow Creek in northern Cali. I've been meaning to visit all the other Squatch hot zones and I will eventually.

I've watched most of 3-4 various episodes of the series Hunting Bigfoot, and they succeeded in convincing me Sasquatch doesn't exist.

Investigator 1: Do you guys hear that?
Investigator 2: Yeah, sounds like a squatch.
Moose expert: Uh, that is a moose howling.
Investigator 2: No, I know a squatch when I hear one.
Moose expert: I need a drink.

I love the lore, but.....till one pops out of the forest and asks for some beef jerky...I dunno.
