Hey, same house but with more security.... you call it a prison, I call it a secure home.

I also will have a gun on each floor, in each corner of the house.

6 total.

So you don't live in a prison but a prism - a triangular prism, in fact

I figure if I don't have a gun then I'm less likely to kill someone. I have a baseball bat, somewhere, but to be fair I don't envisage using that in anger either. I live in a pretty, quiet place and my house is always locked up tightly.

I don't actually know anyone that's been burgled, let alone stabbed or killed in their own home, within the last 10 years.

I'd hate to live in a place where restricting myself to the security measures above would threaten my family's safety.

That's why right now I don't have any guns at the house. I don't have my gun locks yet.

Otherwise, how would my security measures restrict or threaten my family's safety?

Seeing folks when they come the driveway?
An alarm sounding if someone breaks in my house?

I live next to woods. So is putting up a privacy fence threatening my safety?

All that stuff that you say sounds really nice and all but alas it makes no practical sense.

edit: I don't get the prism thing.

Bah. Read it again.

You're obviously enhancing your family's security by taking those measures. You know how secure/insecure your neighbourhood is better than anyone else reading this.

My point is that I would hate it if it was necessary for me to take those measures too. It simply is not needed around here. I'm not having a go at you at all, if you think that you need to go to those legnths to keep your family safe then fair enough.

The prism thing:

You said you wanted a gun in each corner, 6 in total. That would make your house a triangular prism

Gun safety is always so important. We’ve always kept guns in our house and from a young age I was taught basic safety skills and shown how dangerous they could be.
