Fuck I hate theives,me and my dad live alone,my mom,stepdad,brother,and sister live about 15min. away,but my dad is not as security conscious as I am cause I can't sleep well if all the doors in our house aren't locked,and during the day when we are gone the doors are shut but un-locked,my dad is the local judge so there are a bunch of people around here that aren't too fond of him so to me it would make more sence to lock up.But as far as protection my dad has all our hand guns,shotguns,rifles,muzzle loaders ect upstairs with him(about 25 or so) and I have my Beneli 12g in my closet my rat terrier down stairs and three cats lol.Rebel
