I know in some states, "booby traps" are illegal, even on your own property or in your own home. I would imagine that is why the product you are talking about is no longer advertised.That they used to advertise in all of the gun magazines? As I recall it was a pepper gas dispenser that you could install in a room that could be set up to release in an unauthorized entry. Supposedly it would run anyone in the room out and keep them out for at least a couple of hours.
You do not see them advertised any more. I am wondering if they just were not selling them or there was another reason?
The cable guy sitting at a bar with his buddies telling them about this huge gun safe he saw in a house today and Keeping the garage door open and people seeing your big snap on tool box. All red flags that mark your house.When you are thinking about the security of your home. People write books on it. Keeping a low profile surely helps. And while physical security measures are certainly important, both passive and active. Your behavior makes a big difference also.
A lot of times people get ripped off by people that they know. A lot of times people get ripped off by people that have been inside their homes, service people etc. My wife and I have done extensive renovations to our home over the years. We have used the same contractor over the years for a number of reasons. One of which is that they are discreet and honest. This is important. On the rare occasions when we have to allow unknown, thus not entirely trustworthy people into our home. We will make arrangements to display a more modest circumstance. Not making yourself a good target is crucial.
