I thought maybe this article was about protection rather than defending. For me, I don't want to have to get to the “defending” stage. I want the zombies to stay outside and go to an easier “mark”.
I've done all I can to protect and make it plain it is protected. Since I'm in a townhouse, both sides are stuck to other houses so it has no sides to attack. There is a front door and one window on the front. The door is fixed so it can't be kicked open and has an alarm that sounds if the door makes the slightest movement.
The window can't be raised - there are locks on it that can only be removed with an Allen wrench. A bar alarm can be seen with big red letters facing outward that says,”ALARM”. If that bar moves, the alarm sounds but I got it for the sign since the window can't be pushed up anyway.
There is another alarm that sounds if there is any vibration of the glass in the window. The window is behind extremely thick hedge and the window is fairly high off the ground. There is also a yard stake saying the house is protected with twenty four hour monitoring.
Other houses around me have no hedge to fight through and I'm sure their window and door isn't stacked up with alarms and warnings that can be seen.
Maybe I am naive about my level of protection working for me. If any alarms sound, I would be there with a gun if there was a breach but I'm trying to avoid that.
I admire your savvy and preparedness, and your plain ol’ guts as well.
But ain’t it a sad commentary on what the nation, through leftism, has come to?
I am sure that you like myself remember a time when doors weren’t locked, windows were open and even the keys could be left in the car.
Take care!
