And well said, Melusine. [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] I've also been wondering why many people seem to think guns and large blunt items are a "proper" way to defend themselves, while the use of, for example, pepperspray, stun guns, special guns loaded with harmless yet effective kinds of anaesthetics (effective in a way that the thief will simply fall asleep for a few hours), or even "special" light and sound effects to startle the thieves is hardly ever even mentioned.
I mean, if you're already paranoid about possible intruders, why not think about some proper alternative non-lethal, non-messy kind of preperation instead? Like Melusine said, why the fixation on killing rather than neutralizing or scaring away the intruders?
Maybe it's just a mentality thing, but perhaps someone could explain it to me.
