I have had security systems for a long time now, and have become comfy with the knowledge that at a button push I can have help. or if I am not home and the place goes up in flames, I can summon help without having to be there. As far as when I am home, the DH and I are both experienced marksmen, and lets just say an intruder wouldnt get far.

I love the new systems they have that can be controlled remotely. You gotta love technology.
