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?

    That doesn’t prevent breaking and entering. It deals with someone who has already done so.

        No, then the post would be “how do I deal with someone who has forcibly entered my home?”

        The answer to this post would be strong fencing, doors, and windows and any other entry points to the home.

          We don’t have to argue about the intent of the title my friend, OP provided a link in the body that makes it very clear the context of their question.

            You’re suggesting that OP shotgun ICE agents? You think that is going to go well for them when a lady was just shot in the face for tapping one with her car?

              I’m suggesting that when a fascist kill squad breaks into your home that you are both legally and morally justified to defend yourself.

                I agree with you, but if it gets to that point OP is dead. He might get one or two of them but they definitely are not going to de-escalate if he shoots at them. Which is why a better suggestion would be to reinforce your home so that it is difficult enough for them to enter that they move on to a softer target.

                  There’s no amount of fortification of your home that’s going to work against a prepared and armed force. Sometimes taking a few of them with you is the only thing a moral person can do.
