I have been looking at new security alarm technology. The Tattletale is interesting but not well known yet in residential use.

One of the things you definitely need to do is reinforce your door. They are so easy to break.

I have been thinking about jumping out a window if a group break into my house. Still working on a strategy should a bunch of thugs break into my house.

Interesting you mention the alarm system. He’s looking into that too.

Frankly, a better strategy would be to have a tactical shotgun handy. One shot could incapacitate several of the feral humans if it was in a relatively confined space.

I live in a small town about 25 miles from Indy. The feral humans haven’t made it down here....yet.

I have heard of break ins out in the county north of us (near Marion County/Indy).

Recently, a FReeper suggested using (I believe) 2” - 3” screws in all door frames. Wouldn’t prevent a complete kick-in, but would hold them up for a few minutes while you grab your gun.

a shotgun is probably the best bet...it can hit a lot of people quickly....although I've only shot a shotgun once and it put me on my keester.

also....Raid in several rooms....it supposedly can shoot up to 20 feet and can stop a man if you get him in the face....

and I would jump out a window if I had too....hope I don't have too...
