I am curious though how an “Alarm System” kills someone.

Yeah, it's a silly wording. Harry Homeowner feels capable of killing an intruder with a security camera.

1) Intruder breaks into the home. 2) Homeowner sees him on the security camera. 3) Homeowner breaks camera off bracket and beats the intruder to death with it.

I could kill someone with my golf club but I would have to use my driver and they would have to stand still on a tee.

I think what they're saying is that, if someone owned an alarm system .. and that was their primary deterrent to someone breaking into their home .. they believe that they would be "x" likely to have the mental and physical "toughness" be able to kill someone who did break in. That's not saying what they would kill them with, but I think it is meant to show that, if you own a gun, you believe that you're more likely to face up to being able to actually kill someone than someone who, say, only has an alarm system protecting their home.

So, the way that I read it, of those listed, someone who's primary deterrent is pepper spray is the least-likely person who believes that they could kill a home intruder. Then, for those whose primary deterrent is a security camera, a baseball bat, an alarm system, golf club, and finally a gun, the percentages increase as to that person being mentally and physically prepared to kill a home intruder.

I wondered that too. I also noticed that they left out "call police." After all, when I call the cops on an intruder I can tell them any number of exaggerations that the intruder's corpse won't be able to deny after the fact. ;-)

Deadly noise

Yeah the graphics are a wee bit wonky ..... but good message NTL.

It is a SHEEPLE mind set that an alarm protects them. A smash and grab, can be accomplished in 5 mins, takes the LEO 15-30 mins to respond. Crooks long gone.

A gun allows you the distance between you and the Perp to be safer. And yes I CCW and will use my gun. Just as soon as the rehab on my dominate R hand is done, I’ve got to get back to the range. LONG SLOW RECOVERY for what was to be a minor thumb surgery to fix the torn ligaments and trigger lock, I end up with a nearly ruined DOMINATE hand and a frozen thumb with 2 screws in it in the base joint. Still no fine motor skills, can’t lift more than 1 lb. Cast damage.

I know I’ve posted it before, but reminders are always good. I am the Mother of a Child murdered with a 2 ft section of Fence Post. Perp walks a free man, after 12.5 yrs of fighting parole hearings and him maxing out his ‘good’ behavior time.

I have relatives that used to raise security dogs. One had the kennel name “Alarm” - no kidding. He was trained for a specific client to go for the throat. Oh and he was also trained to not announce his presence by barking. Don’t know the rest of the story other than he was delivered to the new owner that had to have significant training himself before he could own the dog.

Or a security camera.

I think I might run out of pepper spray before the perp was dead enough; too.
