it shows that not everyone should own a gun. some people are not up to it.
of course others have expressed doubt if the article is genuine.
There’s a black guy who shows up on TV now and again that is an ex-con who now does educational seminars about home security.
His list is almost identical to this one but he also lists types of lighting to have and advises against having shrubbery near the windows or anywhere that can give cover to somebody breaking in.
His top two ‘burglars always avoid’ picks are security cameras and big dogs.
Apparently he’s right because both theft sprees covered a several mile area along RT40 and we’re the only house with both.
Right beneath my front security camera is a life size concrete Dobe statue that’s visible from a good 200 feet away.
Nobody can say they weren’t warned.
