I know that security is a bit of a show and its really more of a deterant, but I was wondering realistically how I could prevent someone breaking and entering a small-ish American home? What is actually effective?

2nd amendment has entered the chat
Edit: Jesus christ what the fuck? They’re going door to door?
We’re so cooked
Use a cannon pointed directly at the door as our forefathers wanted us to.
Own a musket for home defense, since that’s what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. “What the devil?” As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball-sized hole through the first man, he’s dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it’s smoothbore and nails the neighbor’s dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grapeshot, “Tally ho lads” the grapeshot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
Tally-ho!
Best I can do is 9 .33 caliber balls, five times in a row.
Careful, not all states have a castle doctrine, and really you don’t want the legal shitshow even in a Castle Doctrine state.
Better to deter than have to deal with that.
I missed the link and didn’t know they were talking about government agents… 💀
I don’t know if it’s ever been tested but I’m sure Castle Doctrine is completely nullified when law enforcement is involved.
Can you specify which state? I thought that was fairly ubiquitous. I legit would never live in a state that didn’t have castle doctrine. I don’t personally agree with states that don’t have stand your ground laws, but I can at least stomach that.
Nebraska, Vermont, and New Mexico don’t have it, but the exact details of what’s covered also vary state to state
A quick search said all states have some version either in the books or through case law.
