Thats crazy to hear since Rocklin is a very safe and nice area. I have noticed alot of trash flowing into the area now, That new Walmart/Target isnt going to help the situation at all.

Just get some surveillance cameras. And up motion sensor lights in areas accessible to peeping toms.
Shooting at targets is one thing. But actually pulling the trigger on someone when your adrenaline is up is another. You could hurt an innocent bystander or the gun or shotgun could be used against you or your loved ones.
A deterrent is the best way to deal with this

Just because the area is nice, doesn't mean people don't travel from the ghetto to steal.

Yup, like having a gun in your hand, and point at him, as he looks in the window!
What happens when your deterrents don't work? Then what? What 15 minutes for the cops to show up? Seriously what is the back up plan if your deterrents don't work? [ 2014-05-09, 03:49 PM: Message edited by: warhorse58gt ]

Unless they know you have something valuable it is human nature to pursue a house with less obsticles.
If house A has cameras and motions sensor light and a dog. And house B has none of it but a gun stored in a bedroom closet. Which one is the person more than likely going to check out. House B cause he doesn't know about the gun.
Don't get me wrong. I'm pro gun ownership. But unless she has in on a holster on her, a gun is not going to stop a random thief from peeking in your home.
When a break in does occur then yes defend yourself.
But for most people's immediate reaction is to get a shotgun or get a pistol, people got to remember that possessing a gun also carries responsibility. Be prepared for legal ramifications if someone is wrongfully shot or killed.

Thanks for all the responses guys, didn't intend to start a debate over guns. I'm hanging motion activated lights tomorrow and the shotgun is on it's way. If someone comes into my home then I am willing to deal with any legal consequense of defending my family and myself. I am NOT prepared to deal with the possible consequenses of not being armed. I realize this is liberal California were laws seem to have no love for the hard working middle class, but I would sit in jail without hesitation knowing I did the right thing.
