Or booby traps? > > Please help!!! I once designed a system that had a revolving blue light mounted on the roof and an outdoor loudspeaker that played pre-recorded "police" radio talk. It really gave the intruder the effect that the police were already on the scene, and was activated by the simple push of a button. If you own a car that has keyless remote entry (the little black box on your keychain) there is usually a "panic button" (red or orange in color) in addition to the locking and unlocking buttons. One press of this button will start a series of blasts from your car horn and scares the hell out of hoodlums. I keep mine on my bedside table at night. You can also tell neighbors that if they here your horn going off, you need help. As for weapons, a small 25 caliber pistol makes one helluva noise (it's what those guys use to start races) and firing a couple of shots into the ceiling would turn most burglars around pretty quick. On the chance you actually had to shoot, the impact would stop him but his chances of surviving would be better, thus alleviating the lifetime memory that you had killed someone. The 25 automatic is also small enough to carry in your apron or pants pocket when you're outside. It really is a sad state of affairs when we all have to be concerned with personal protection but there are countless innocent victims in the ground becaused they refused to consider it. Starvin'Marv
