not so in florida, where we have the castle doctrine and no bag limit.
...I’m thankful to report.
Florida or not, castle doctrine or not, it’s best to have some warning when people are getting into the house. In other words, if you wake up and find a gun in your face, it’s tough to even reach a hand out get to your own weapon. It’s nice to have some system that lets you know you have incoming. Then you have time to wake up and put the weapon in your hand.
As a single lady, I like the electronics around the perimeter. I had a wonderful young (but tired) dog sleep right through a major house fire, so dogs aren’t the sole answer, either.
