Steve, I always like reading your pieces.  Practical, calm, thoughtful...a refreshing change from the typical NRA soundbite stuff.  It would have been nice to speak to some of the other non-firearm options that someone might want to consider to protect their home.  

Perhaps the ADN could run a series of pieces about personal/home security such as defensive measures, house surroundings, security & camera systems, neighborhood watches, etc.  Given the opioid crisis we're facing it's a sad reality in our lives.
