well, start with lighting for after dark, motion sensor is good. add in the standard and dead bolt door locks. windows left ope a crach should also be locked to prevent a full opening. screw a nice stick into the track. you can close it, but it only opens a few inches.
then it gets into prefferences.
mine, I prefer dogs. 2 help guard my home.Bella is 100 pounds and very protective, Annie is 40 pounds and a barker and howler. they hear better, and see well in the dark. they sleep in the bedroom. a dog isnt no good in a crate or cage out back of the barn.
Fire arms. CC permit, if im dressed gun is on hip. relaxing, gun is on coffee table next to me. 24/7/365... and a side by each shotgun next to the bed. Flash lights all over the house, look for the 3 function, high, low, & strobe. expect to pay a bit more, but the more "lumes" the better. 200 minamun lumes, its amazingly bright on high power.
i have a tazer also, hooked on the bed frame. 14 foot rerach with the darts, or hand held, stick it on their neck. true tazer brand has both capabilities in one unit.
home is also set up on the 'three step' defense plan. @ every 3 steps, there is something to hit someone with, throw something at them, or stand and fight with.
precautions, know your home in the dark. count steps, distances, etc.
phone is always on and handy.
signs on the doors.
" Beware of Dog"
"if you enter this home unlawfully, you WILL be SHOT"
" WE dont call 911"
American Flag hangs out front next to the confederate flag.
A pair of size 13 old work boots sets outside the front door.
I took and taught Tae Kwon Do for 16 years, but honestly, dont want to fight no man. i would rather shoot first.
yep, i sleep good at night.
