We have had one of those for several years and they work great. In fact,
sometimes when we tell people where we were last week they say whomever
was watching the house was also watching TeeVee.

It is indeed a fantastic idea, something so incredibly basic and simple
it leads us to wonder why we didn't come up with the idea ourselves!
Well priced, too.

In spite of the fact that there's supposedly a gun in about half of all
US homes - which is supposed to act as a deterrent against this sort of
crime?

Or is it that the theft of firearms from homes actually *causes* an
increase in home burglary?

If there are guns in 50% of the homes and only 2% are broken into,
what's the "in spite of" that you're talking about?

Or is it that the theft of firearms from homes actually *causes* an

Do you believe that guns emit some sort of mystic aura that either
repels or attacts criminals?

Otherwise, what's your point?

A gun will only stop a burglar if the owner is home to use it. Burglars are
cowards that break in when there is nobody home to stop them.

Firearms are just one the the things they can take to sell for quick cash
along with jewelry and electronics. If they just wanted a gun to pull off a
robbery they could more easily get it from one of their criminal friends.

Be aware that pepper spray (capsicum) is not effective on all
individuals, including those intoxicated with alcohol. Spraying such
individuals will at best serve as a minor distraction, and will at worse
result in your being incapacitated by your own spray.

There is a reason that most in law enforcement have moved on to using
electro-neural disruption technology (Taser) as their primary means of
"less than lethal" force.

Did I write that pepper spray was the only inconvenience the burglars

IIRC CN gas is the weaker vs. CS gas. We had a "pepper fogger" at work
years ago. It would fill an entire building in minutes. So much that
it depletes the oxygen in the air and can cause death.

"...Although described as a non-lethal weapon for crowd control, many
studies have raised doubts about this classification. As well as
creating severe pulmonary damage, CS can also significantly damage the
heart and liver."

shook me up that I almost killed a man by reflex so I bought a big
pepper spray canister and started bathing burglars and trespassers with
it after that. o_O

Be aware that pepper spray (capsicum) is not effective on all
individuals, including those intoxicated with alcohol. Spraying such
individuals will at best serve as a minor distraction, and will at worse
result in your being incapacitated by your own spray.

There is a reason that most in law enforcement have moved on to using
electro-neural disruption technology (Taser) as their primary means of
"less than lethal" force.

Did I write that pepper spray was the only inconvenience the burglars
suffered from? In combination with a club, the spray is quite effective.

I bet you duct taped the pepper spray to the club, didn't you? ;p

Believe it or not, I don't like to hurt people. When I studied martial
arts, I hurt fellow students by accident and it bothered me, I didn't
know my own strength. o_O
