You still have to pay for broken glass if your alarm system thwarts a robbery, anyway. The thief isn't going to throw money into your window as a sign of respect for being beaten.

I've watched this one series on a TV network here. These two guys case a house they want to burglarize, then the producers of the show talk to the home owner, and if they agree, they put their house up to be burglarized, and in return they get a new, high tech security system. They get their stolen possessions back, too. The one guy, the "thief", breaks into the house when the residents are gone.

There have been plenty of times where the guy is still in the house when the residents return. Granted, they don't encounter the thief, but I'm sure in plenty of cases that this is a possibility. An alarm system isn't going to do you any good at this point.

If you're attacked outside of the home, it's not going to be in a highly populated area unless you get pick-pocketed or someone steals a woman's purse. The attacker is going to get the person in a secluded area, like after hours at a store when an employee is walking to their car. In these cases, the victim would have plenty of time to react... unless they're just that stupid. Even then, the attacker isn't going to be able to instantly demobilize the victim.

I agree it would be smart to have a home alarm system, but most people don't have the money to do it. Guns are relatively inexpensive, and are great if someone ever has to encounter an attacker.

Plus, you still have to concede the recreational abilities of a gun. What can you do with the alarm system, press all the buttons and make the alarm go off? Oh, hours of fun!


whoa.
