Rural living is GREAT till someone kicks in your door. Yes, it has happened several times in Eastern Oklahoma over the last few years.
Uh...Why would that be more dangerous than your door being kicked down in a big city??
Big dogs are your best friend.
We actually had a daytime robbery in our very rural home years ago while we were both at work.
The perp was greeted by our chow chow and lasted less than a minute inside the premises.
Our dog used them as a chew toy.
(Chow chows don’t bark—they just bite. By the time the perp figured out they were there it was too late. They were arrested within days.)

If the German Shepherds don’t get them, the 12 guage with 00 buckshot will.
They would have a hard time getting close to the house without the dogs barking.
Besides, it would take a lot of kicking to knock down my front door. Especially if I knew to beware of trouble. It’s all steel with no windows. They couldn’t ram it with a vehicle due to the cement front porch and steps.
With the driveway alarm about a quarter mile down my lane, and a dead end road a mile long leading to my house, they might walk in, but would be lucky to crawl out.
Yep, and what happens if you’re dozing on the couch when that happens? Unless you have your sidearm in your hand or within immediate reach, it may already be too late, depending on what your invaders have in mind.
