Weapons for self-defense are not recommended, but screaming is. This clown shoyuld be sued for bad advice.
Why do "professionals" advise everyone to have a fire extinguisher and smoke detectors but no guns, when the chances of a violent attack are much higher than that of a house fire.

If an intruder gets in, call 911, Betten said. Unbelievable.

When seconds count, the police are just minutes (or hours) away.

Our police response time is about 30 minutes. One had better have something better than a loud scream.

If screaming were so damned effective compared to a gun, then I would expect to see unarmed cops all over the place, screaming at bad guys.
To: Red in Blue PA
A .410 is pretty effective or your neighbors have had armed confrontations with “home invaders” already you have a bit more protection in that robbers etc will avoid your. A big dog is effective and also provides something for the police to shoot when they come out to investigate the break-in. That way they don’t have to shoot you or your wife.

Or you can ignore this idiotic “professional” and get cans of wasp spray. It’s cheap, effective at short range, and nobody sees it coming (literally). Carry two so you have a backup.

If an intruder gets in, call 911, Betten said. Nope. Not at THIS house.
But this DID give me an idea in case of an attempted home invasion...
I just put the Coroner's Office on speed dial.

Why do "professionals" advise everyone to have a fire extinguisher and smoke detectors but no guns, when the chances of a violent attack are much higher than that of a house fire. Because they could care less about your life or your safety.
They want their "subjects" to be constantly afraid and in peril so as to be clamorous for more protection from their "benign benefactor", the Government. Thus they can get more money and power while we have less freedom and liberty.

How am I supposed to call 911 when I’m busy correcting my shooting stance and acquiring a proper sight picture?
It’s not fair. The government should get me a third arm.

A warned shot thru the door ought to be quite sufficent.
First shot to be aimed high. If they persist, then fire away.

Actually, I think calling 911 is a great idea.
After one accurately fires two to the body and one to the head, .40 cal or better.

"Get out of the house and get into an area where you can yell, scream and draw attention to yourself," Betten said. Where do these morons come from?
A can of wasp spray that shoots 12 feet would be more effective than ANYTHING he suggests.
