Preferably something I can install myself

What is the best system for home security?

Regardless of price. Can you provide a link?

I already have a dog fyi

OK I guess I also have to add I have a 380 and a double barrel shotgun. So if you could just answer the question thanks. If you cant you should stick to answering questions you understand.

oh I also have my ccl-conceal carry license- but that doesn't really matter on the home front because I'm not always home.

Also includes On-Star & some glass break mini-system.

I have this btw. ...

I like miniature hidden cameras and a shotgun

some people put fake signs in their front lawn suggesting home security to deter criminals. Medeco locks are also the best to get if you really want to secure something.

EDIT - the person above me doesn't know what they are talking about. A cut phone line triggers an alarm and dispatches police to the scene to check on safety. This is standard procedure, I worked with the police for years.

A shotgun is best for in home protection I think.

But if you want to go the extra mile, perhaps sensors to detect open doors and windows on the first floor. This will not prevent anything, and an alarm physically cant stop anything, but it will give you an alert!

* An alarm that is local only. Accidents happen, and the idea an alarm that notified outside officials is one I don't like.

you have a 380 and a double barrelled shotgun which presumably you are licensed to use-that should cover it.

you are lucky!!-try living here in the UK where if you catch a burglar in your home you can be prosecuted for hurting him.

stop moaning-you got it good.

Remember that all a criminal has to do is cut your phone line going into the security system and its disabled. A friend of mine used to install these systems and he told me. Sorry if I freaked anyone out, but its true.

Glock Model 22 (.40 S&W) Along with the dogs, that should give you all the security you need.

Just put a sign on your door that says:

"Airborn Herpes Virus Quarantine"

a couple of naked guys running around will scare off intruders for sure!!!

A Big Dog..

12 guage shot gun....or a 45
