NBC ran a 4 minute segment during their "TODAY" morning show about what to do when you have a home invader.

Have your car keys on your nightstand ... so you can make your car horn beep by pressing the button.

Use WASP SPRAY instead of MACE or PEPPER SPRAY, even though its against federal law to use Wasp Spray and its also neuro-toxin so its ill advised to use it in a confined space/indoors.

Oh, and if those things don't work, treat the invaders like royalty and don't lie to them. In fact tell them where all your valuable are in the house.

Now I don't know about anyone else, but my car's key fob has a range of about 25 feet. My bedroom is roughly 50 feet away from the garage. Not sure how pushing the panic button on my key fob is going to help me. And not sure how it would help anyone who lives in an apartment. Or a multi-story building.

And they NEVER mention having a gun handy :hammer:
How to protect your family from home invasion
Jeff Rossen and Jovanna BillingtonNBC NewsSep. 9, 2014 at 7:40 PM ET

In June, an intruder broke into Sandra Bullock's Los Angeles home and got within steps of the star's bedroom. On Aug. 14, NBA star Ray Allen's family was hit, waking up to find seven intruders in their Coral Gables, Florida, home. Not even the Kennedys are immune: On July 15, an intruder got into their sprawling compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts.

According to the FBI, nearly 50,000 robberies within residences (the bureau's classification for home invasions, not all of which involve violent entry) occurred in 2011, or about 135 per day. In July 2013, Susan Dawson came face to face with an intruder in her Fountain Hills, Arizona, home.

"It was absolutely one of the most frightening things I've ever gone through," she said. "I went, 'Oh my gosh, who are you?' He took a couple of steps and punched me in the nose, and down I went."

The attacker tied Dawson up and ransacked her home. "I laid there and he'd keep going through the bedroom looking for stuff," Dawson said. "What I was thinking of most is, 'How is he going to kill me?'"

To suggest a topic for a Rossen Reports investigation, email us.

So how can you get your family out of such a situation alive? Wallace Zeins, who was a New York police detective and hostage negotiator for 22 years, says you may have an excellent alarm system at your fingertips that you haven't even thought about: Electronic car keys with a built-in alarm.

"Most people don't realize this, but they leave their car keys downstairs," Zeins said. "Bring your car keys up. Alarm systems are very expensive, and this is a loud one. All you have to do is hit the keys. They don't realize it, but it's the best alarm system, and doesn't cost them a penny."

I'm not impressed by Wallace Zeins, even if he was a defective on the police farce. Some of his advice is inane, some is illegal in most places - and likely as harmful to the homeowner as the intruder - and it is all predicated on being robbed by a nice person who has no mental problems and is not on drugs. Good luck with that.

I believe I'll rely on my in-home security team ... Smith & Wesson.

You guys have covered all my options except that once the bad guy gets past two barking dogs and eludes Mr S&W and Mr Taurus he has to face Mr Winchester, 20 gauge pump. It might seem like overkill but you never know, there may be more than one. :smile:

I was presuming one Bad Guy. If he brings a Friend that could very well end with Mr. Sig Sauer and Mr. Mossberg joining in
the fray. :smile: If he brings even more Friends, Ms. H. Richardson and her beau, Mr. Hi Point, might have to be invited! :brows:
