> Lock your doors. Get an alarm.
Everyone locks their doors. Nearly everyone has an alarm. These only stop dumb home invades.
> Dial 911, for heaven's sake.

I don't lock my house up unless I'm leaving for an extended period. I have no alarm. I watch people, I made sure when I moved in, or when I go on trips, to make a show of carrying my rifles in full site. I come and go at such weird hours. I listen to the neighborhood chatter, if there are break-ins nearby. There were two shootings a few blocks from here, one by a police and another by an estranged husband. But I don't keep any guns loaded. Just seems safer. I don't have a gun safe, because I have no place to put one at the moment. But all my rifles are in separate locations not by design but by use.
That 911 call above, something similar happened a few years ago, at least six. A bread delivery driver pulled up to a closed mini-mart at dawn, and saw someone inside, with the broken front door he assumed a robbery. The driver walked to the pay phone in front of the store and called police. The robber came out and beat the driver bad, paralyzing him. Not saying the driver should have had a gun but it was a few bad decisions that lead to a bad result.
