Video Do you carry at home?

Absolutely.

The only time I'm not carrying at home is when I'm sitting next to the mini gun vault. Or sleeping next to one.

Walking the dogs, working in the yard, etc. Always armed.
 
I do not usually carry while inside of my apartment. Being above grade with only one steel door entrance gives me very good security and time to strap-up should the need arise. By strategically stashing weapons throughout my apartment, one is almost always within reach. When answering the door to an unknown person or persons, I am always armed.
 
I have 4 early warning systems and cameras in place. Firearms almost always within 10 seconds reach. Of course I like out in the sticks and idjits would have to find me first. Most wanna be thugs don't generally leave the city limits for their "work".

Same here. Impossible to approach the home without being detected. Motion detection, cameras, sound detection.

Long, steep driveway. Couple of beam breakers detect someone on foot or a vehicle. Then bad guys have to traverse an open 40-50 yard zone all around the house. No cover. Lights on the perimeter come on like Friday night football if anything moves out there at night. It’s setup to ignore animals but occasionally it doesn’t and the bells ring. Last time it was a family of raccoons. Two huge adults and a bunch of young-uns.

There's a couple of strong floodlights on the house itself that blind someone looking at the house from the yard. The effect being I can see you but you can't see me pointing a rifle at you.

Our dogs can hear a mouse farting into a cotton ball - and start barking. Plus when they hear the “doorbell sound” they go nuts.

Wraparound deck second floor. Basically if an intruder doesn’t run away, he’s a sitting duck.

When I said "4 early warning systems" I was referring to my dogs. I swear the small ones can hear a rabbit fart from a mile away.

I had a driveway monitor but it currently needs to be replaced. Years of Texas weather have taken a toll on it.

Still have to put my bulls-eye signs up. Just a 12" tin with a couple bullet holes and reflective tape for distance markers.

Doll heads. A trick I learned from a local. My property in the Outer Banks has no house - just an old hunting/fishing shack - but nosy tourists, real estate assholes, and other trespassers now think twice before going over the fence.

Also this. Which is entirely possible. The area was used for practice bombing runs from the 30s to the 50s. UXO was found nearby a couple of years ago.

All ya gotta do is fire a shotgun blast in the air, like ol' Joe Biden suggested.

Warning shots are for old TV and movie cowboys. :)

Here's another tip. Intruder detected? In your creepiest movie voice, slowly say " I CAN SMELL YOU " Way better than the sound of racking a shotgun. Fear is a powerful emotion. One thing bad guys fear is someone crazier and more violent than them.

Or have a motion-activated voice-recording whispering "Come a little closer so I can f*** you in the ass!" :D Will work for all but the gayest of gays... ;)

Or a guy who has been in the can a few times. He may accept that offer!
