Home Defense, How to Beef Mine Up?

[GrandMoffBrandon]

I found this website: http://www.homesecuritystore.com/ These systems seem to be in between the cheapie stuff that isn't networked together and the professionally monitored stuff. My uncle in another state bought one of these systems but I don't get to talk regularly with him and ask his opinions. It seems these will also call for help, though it would be a friend or something. Better than nothing, I suppose, and the add-ons, like additional sensors, appear to cost less than add-on sensors from ADT, Brinks, etc. That is, of course, assuming the information I found on the net is accurate. ADT and the others don't list these additional costs on their websites, or at least I can't seem to locate it on their websites.

when thinking of home defence it is often a great idea to also think about what ammunition you are loading as to pose the smallest threat to your own property and loved ones and also maintain high enough stopping power to take care of any "problems" for you new shotgun i would suggest loading 2 bird shot followed by a buch shot because the bird shot is less damaging and often enough to stop someone but should they be persay wearing some thick leather or just not feel pain and continue to pose a threat then the 3rd shot of buck should take care of it

now for the rest of your guns i would suggest you check out this sight http://www.dakotaammo.net/products/glaser/glaser.htm
there rounds do not penetrate they more cause a concusive impact to the target and stop inside its a big favorite of secret service and law enforcement due to not having to worry about hitting someone behind your target because it wont go through them

hope it helps

If I'm correct, glasers are a plastic shell loaded with birdshot, and thus may not offer adequate penetration. Hollowpoints would probably be better, unless you live in an apartment or your kid's have their rooms close to yours.

Penetration can be difficult to predict in real world situations. Glazers are actually birdshot inside a copper jacket. Glazers are supposed to be low penetration, but I saw a write up of a test of penetration subsequent to passing though drywall that gives one pause. The copper jacket was deformed by the impact with the drywall and thus did not open up at all in the ballistic gelatin. If I'm recalling correctly, the Glazer ended up penetrating further than the FMJ.

Go figure.

You just have to play the averages, and pray. A stacked deck may not guarantee a win, but it helps.
