In June, an intruder broke into Sandra Bullock's Los Angeles home and got within steps of the star's bedroom. On Aug. 14, NBA star Ray Allen's family was hit, waking up to find seven intruders in their Coral Gables, Florida, home. Not even the Kennedys are immune: On July 15, an intruder got into their sprawling compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.

All the high school girls around this house have amassed a prepper’s supply of spray glitter paint.
Gold glitter paint not only makes the home invader’s eyes look remarkable, the spray can also be ignited for that toasty smelter effect.
The Sig 229 holds them still in that make-up modelers position, or if not, one can just shoot em.
Tremendously irresponsible advice in that ridiculous article.
Better advice is:
#1: get a medium to large sized dog
#2: firearm, ammo, and bulletproof vest
#3: bear spray and caltrops
#4: wait for the intruder to come to you across a field of caltrops, then unleash the dog, apply ammo per instructions on box, and fog the house with bear spray as you leave to wait outside for the police to finally arrive.
Does not the fire department advise the opposite? At least they did way back when as I learned when going for the merit badge. Which is more likely, a home invasion or a fire?
and if the guy you blinded isn’t killed, he’ll hire a shyster lawyer who will sue you for using the wasp spray in an unintended way. it’s labeled right on each can.
best not to bring a spray to a job a gun is needed to do.
would kind of be hell on your pets during the night.
actually you don’t want to do that, they may know where you are and shoot at the sound, or shoot through the wall where they think you are.

you need to have your gun(s) in the bathroom, it’s one of the two most vulnerable places you can be.
WOW! 46 replies and not one mention that wasp spray is totally ineffectual in stopping anyone and it is NOT more effective than Mace. That is an urban legend.

People who try using wasp spray for self-defense can be victims. . . Or defendants later.
special collar and the ability to detect target sizes would help. could also factor in heat signature
I would use, in order, 12 gauge with 00 buck, .45 ACP, 9mm, and as a last resort, my Dad’s old CZ .32 auto from WWII. I keep all loaded and handy.
Shoot to wound?????
No, shoot to KILL. Dead men tell no lies.
If you wound them then expect to be stripped of all you have in civil court by the “innocent” victim, his family, his lawyer and all of the vermin who live off of the lawsuit industry.
Hey, if you break in my house, that’s the risk you take. Maybe I’ll blast you in the face with chemicals and blind you, maybe I’ll try to reenact Game of Thrones scenes with my knife and your fingers, and maybe I’ll just blow your useless head off.
Since you’ve already put me in the position of knowing I’m going to lose the stuff I prize and will have nothing left to lose...why not?
Better solution is to keep your grubby little paws to yourself, and you won’t be in range of the angry crazy who has nothing to lose.
Chuckle...great imagery.
You might want to add a fire extinguisher to that too...just in case he set your house on fire thrashing around.
I would think you’d have to be a pretty darn good aim with wasp spray, too, to hit the face/eyes...much better than you’d have to be with shotgun. Doesn’t the wasp spray come out in a stream?
Gimme that shotgun.
Yes, and if you're fumbling around with that can in the dark, there's a good possibility you could get the sprayer pointed the wrong way and end up spraying yourself in the face.
It’s 3AM, someone is breaking it…..
Do you want to wait a Life for the police to protect you and your family or would you rather do it yourself?
People need to seriously think about that scenario Beforehand and then decide what they should do.
It’s similar to a fire breaking out – that is not the time to think about buying a fire extinguisher.
Ted Nugent Urges Americans To Stockpile Weapons Ahead Of Looming 9/11 Threat
“...more brutal and widespread than all the peace & love dreamers could ever imagine.
This some of the worst most useless advice I ever heard. The Wasp spray is the only legitimate mention.
WE have a mobile alarm system. Weighs 10 pounds and goes by the moniker Coco. Never misses a sound. Can she protect us? No, that’s Mr. Mossberg’s job.
