Yeah, I too am reading this interior fortification stuff in wonder... Who is going to be hiding in a safe room whilst gangs of people are trying to kick through the door and wall?????
Why aren't you blasting them with an AK47 or 12 gauge? Ain't no person in his right mind is going to continue to 'assault' into my house after I unload a magazine of .308 from my PTR91 in his/their direction...
The fantasy of watching someone with a sawzall cutting through the wall while you're on the otherside is complete fantasy... Just shoot the dumb***. That'll end the fight pretty quickly.
This topic has been talked to death.... here's a recap of inexpensive and effective things you can do for your residence:
1) Live in the best neighborhood you can afford
2) Don't advertise your valuables. Don't leave windows and doors/garage doors open unnecessarily. Don't put your big plasma TV and computer boxes on the curbside. Don't carry your gun boxes outside; load them into your car in the garage, or conceal them in a blanket roll. Etc.
3) Exterior and interior lights, motion lights, lights on timers, etc.
4) Fence
5) Quality locks and deadbolts
6) Solid doors with long screws
7) Alarms on doors and windows
8) Real alarm system, or even fake alarm system with fake cameras
Make your house appear to be a hard target.
Most of these can be done relatively inexpensively.
