ADT

ADT....Nope: I walked in on the Burglar. The emotional trauma was devastating, the .44 magnum .240 gr JHP's passed thru him, taking out our Grandfather clock. It had been in the family for years. I was heart broken. After they removed the dispatched gremlin, I started thinking maybe I should switch to a less penetrating round like Mag-safe or Glaser safety slugs. Oh well, my son and daughter commented on the great shot, he never took another step. I was the last house he'll his visit. Maybe ADT could send for clean-up.

You must be watching FOXNews! Your Post was Coincindental with the AD!!
I didn't see it. I just hate that ADT commercial, like the perp is going to see a lady and little girl and take off running.
He would as he heard the safety clicking off!
ADT is good
D.O.G.S. is better
you shot and killed someone in the house, now your telling everyone on the internet or what?

No it is not
I have every door and window within reach wired and have ADT. Not sure how it cannot be good if it's activated? Not sure what type of system you have but motion sensors are worthless IMO.
Motion sensors were a HUGE plus at the store....I don't know about the usefulness of them being in a house, but if the alarm went off at the store you could tell EXACTLY what was going on by the types of triggers it had. "Vibration and motion meant bad news".....but just a motion sensor was a bug (I hate bugs!)
M134 miniguns can replace the M2's in a pinch.
Motion and thermal sensor operated, self-tracking M2 BMG stations with minimum of 500 rounds per weapon and overlapping fields of fire completely surrounding the property being protected. Shut the system off by remote from about 1/2 mile outside the sensors' maximum arming range, and turn it back on when you go to bed.

Oh the imagination of the little ones, do you still play with your barbies[:D][:D]
I do believe in carrying in case you did somehow encounter an event and needed protection.
if some one broke in it could 15 -30 minutes before the law showed up
it may be ok in the city, but out in the country forget it.
best bet is game cameras and dogs
remember several years ago when i posted about my mom getting assulted, the deputy never showed till about 22 hours later

+1. I have that in-place and augmented with 2 12G shotguns, a couple of .30 cal semi autos, 9MM, and .44 Mag within my reach. [:p]
That's why the 220V bars along the window sills, and grounded frames; I wanna see who was stupid enough to try it.

Clarification on my previous comments:
Did not mean motion sensors are worthless overall. I can see many situations where they are beneficial. In my case I did not want/need them as my points of entry are wired. My window and doors move 1/4" the system goes off. I felt if I only had a motion system in the house, that only tells me when someone is already inside. Not to mention kids, dog etc walking around at night.
Regardless of the system, that's not why I have one. I don't count on the police for help if the alarm goes off. I do live in the country. If the alarm goes off when I'm home, it does one of two things.
1. Scares off potential intruder.
2. Gives me ample warning to take my spot locked an loaded.
If I'm not home, hopefully #1 would still be the case, I would think so as it's loud as hell.

there has been great strides in advancement of motion detectors, pets in mind, hight, heat, more infrared than motion, i have motion detectors, at night i turn it on, button next to it is motion off, its what ever your comfortable with
