Good Morning Noel,

    Well I guess I get to prove how deep my paranoia runs. Tazers, (not
    sure of there legality in Illinois) have marginal effectiveness.
    Plenty of stories in the news everyday of police shooting someone
    multiple times with one before they are effective. Also the persons
    clothing can be a factor, leather for example, the "claws" won't
    always penetrate. Stun guns, same problems, but you also need to me
    standing right next to them. Pepper spray will generally slow
    someone down, natural as opposed to chemical is written up as being
    more effective. Cons, well if you are standing right on top of them
    in a small hallway, there is a chance you will get the effects of the
    spray also. Plus, it will only slow someone down, not put them on the
    floor. Statistically two biggest deterrents, one is a dog. Doesn't
    even have to be a big mean attack dog just something that will make a
    ton of noise to alert you and your neighbors that something is wrong.
    Crooks want this all to go down real quite, unnoticed, and a dog
    makes that difficult. Deterrent two is lethal, and well I would
    suggest long and hard that one do some serious soul searching first,
    not because I oppose, but to ensure your protection doesn't get used
    against you. The sound of a shotgun chambering a round is well
    recognized, loud, and from what I have read, the number two
    deterrent.The sad truth is criminals are getting more violent,and
    more determined every day.Generally it seems they are using the
    shoot first so no one can ask questions later policy, but that will
    start me on a different political rant. Sorry, I don't feel like I
    really offered any good suggestions, other than maybe a dog. And with
    that, I am going back to my Che book, oh yeah, and making some
    jewelry. 

Eric
