Put a USMC (or equivalent) decal on your door.

Wasp and hornet killer spray.

Five D-cell flashlight in a metal case (Maglight, for instance).

How nasty/mean/violent do you want to be?

Put nails in your baseball bat (assuming it's wooden) and file them to points.

Set a row nails in a 1 x 2 x 24 (inches) very close together (you'll have to drill) so that about an inch sticks out the 1" side -- you're got a steel-toothed comb sword.

Or just buy a sword and learn to use it...having their hand cut off tends to discourage the most audacious gunmen.

Myself, I still prefer a nightstick (wooden truncheon) -- but I know how to use it.

According to 'Dog the Bounty Hunter', and I quote, "If there's a flag on the outside, there's a gun on the inside" - so maybe just keep Old Glory waving on the outside ...

well, one or two of those motion sensor floodlights makes 'em think twice. Then, if they ever shoot out the lights and GET in, the maze of 'stuff' & furniture may give me time to call 911.

Make them read the Mudcat threads, that'd be a deterrent, either that or reruns of Ugly Betty.

Since the Canuck gun laws have come into force there have been an alarming amount of "home invasions".

I touted these as evidence that the new gun laws were "incorrect" and "poorly written", which I still believe, because it is true. I don't want to argue any of it again... and again... and again...

THIS thread is not about that.

This thread is about this....

Gimmee a can of spray paint any day for repelling anyone stupid enough to break in. That and my dog.
*********************************************************************

I have a spray can of windshield deicer on the dresser next to my bed and a baseball bat beside it.

That windshield deicer goes further than spray paint... at least ten feet. And a SuperSoaker squirt gun goes over 20 feet... bleach is cheap.

Any other ideas?
