Interesting thoughts regarding Dogs, I suppose very valid points as well.
I guess my thought process is to have many levels of security in your home. Not just a gun, not just well lit, not just clearing vegatation away from your home, not just closing and locking doors, not just relying on dogs, or security systems, etc.
I think we have to have as many layers as possible, and yet still be able to live fairly peaceable. On guard, but able to relax somewhat.
Hope this makes a little more sense, not trying to get off topic, just adding a bit to it. I think it unwise to place all hope in one thing alone, if you do and lose it, your options disappear. Many options are always better.
