Thank you for the excelent link. Even though this kind of stuff comes natural, its nice to have it spelled out and articulated to the person using it. Very good, thanks again.

If i can punt it out of the way I wouldnt consider it a layer of defense
I have a deadbolt, noisey sqeaky old floors, various HD guns and a cell phone.
4 layers
i dont consider my dogs a defense because they are raterriers and one of them is deaf.

My only layer of Defence is the will to survive anything else (locked doors, firearms, safe habits,) are just tools to aid me.

Not all layers are shown here, but some are. This is how my night stand is set up every night. I sleep pretty good at night knowing I have plenty of options to grab depending on the situation.
1. Cell phone to call 911
2. FNP-40 with Trijicon night sights and laser pointer
3. Scorpion tactical flashlight to illuminate/blind BG
4. Knife
5. Remington 870 Express Super Magnum with 3-dot fiber optic sights, 7 rounds of #1 BK in the tube, 5 1oz HP Slugs on the stock.
6. Holy Bible in case of zombies, vampires, werefish, etc.
7. Guard Dog in the making.

1. Gate Guard (live on a military base)
2. Live across the street from MILPOL
3. Doors and windows are always locked
4. Golden Retriever will lick them to death
5. Very light sleeper (three years of waking up to SAR alarms, general alarms, chemical alarms, collision alarms, and toxic gas alarms will do that to ya)
6. G22 coupled with Browning 210 lumen LED on the nightstand
7. Wife calls the cops and then grabs the S&W 642CT and maglite
8. Downstairs neighbor (who I trust like a brother) will come investigate any/all disturbances armed with his P229DAK and Surefire (I'm a Coastie on a cutter, we have an arrangement in case I'm underway)
9. Did I mention that MILPOL is across the street???
I think I'm set.

1 - Alarm with wireless panic button rigged on my shotgun
2 - 3 dogs
3 - High end deadbolts
4 - Double paned windows
5 - Security latch strike plates with 1/8 steel strip behind door frame
6 - And of course 2 guns next to the bed
Am about to get 3 motion detected flood lights for the front back and side but that will be a week or 2. So that will make 7.
Anyone have any ideas on what else i can get?

1. Preparedness- I tend to expect the worst from people, and have trained to react accordingly.
2. Awareness- I am a light sleeper and have a dog who loves to let me know when anything happens outside.
3. Sticktoitivness- I will not quit my home or my property to an infiltrator, and will do everything in my power to secure the safety of myself and my loved ones.
FWIW: regardless of anonymity, I am fine with people knowing that I am prepared and ready to defend myself.

I had an officer tell me the sign on my garage door would get me in trouble.
It siad, trespassers will be shot, surivors will be shot again.
So I replaced with a sign that says:
"Welcome to my palor said the spider to the fly"

He would at least show them where his toys are so they could play... but we're working on that. If he gets as big as his dad he'll at least be one heck of a deterant.

You mean there are good-tempered ones?To me "layers" are piled on top of each other, like a cake, y'know?
So:
1. Being on good terms with the neighbors.
2. Lighted exterior with no foundation plantings.
3. Steel doors, double-paned windows, good locks (if I had bars on windows, that would be the same layer...).
4. Alarm system and dog.
5. My plan for what to do if someone tries to get in, and any hardware associated with that plan.
6. Ditto, if someone succeeds.
In thinking about this, I'd rather collapse things into the same layer than split them for the sake of racking up the numbers... The door doesn't count as a separate layer if someone's coming in through the window.

Love the pic of the pooch!!! Priceless!
Looks like he's one of those rare shepherds that was crossed with a...
...Clydesdale!
When he grows into those paws, he's gonna be a 145# meat eater that loves his family!
"Woah, how big is your dog?"
"Cross between a 10 gauge and .50 BMG!" lol. "He poops Brenneke Black Magics!"

It is a little known fact the when the chupacabra gets a taste of human blood they become quite ill-tempered. Always approach the chupacabra from down wind because if the chupacabra knows you are there your life will be ended in a fury of pain. The chupacabra is probably the most dangerous thing (can you really call it an animal?) on the planet.
