I had security cameras installed at my home last week. We already had a security system. I dont like having the cameraa, but the final straw was when someone tried to break into my home while I was at work and my wife was home the Friday before Thanksgiving in the US. With no cameras, had nothing to give the police.
Id like to get a 12 gauge shotgun and teach my wife to use it, but she's gun shy. (I am licensed by the state, but dont own any firearms). There is something about the aound of a 12 gauge round being chambered that puts the fear of God in everyone (and I'm an atheist).
