    Is it time to mine our front yards and claymore the front door?

    Perhaps I should mount a small cannon at the top of the stairs loaded with grapeshot.

    Feel like shit about the neighbors dog.

      Even against a legit bad actor, lethal booby traps are illegal. To have a “castle doctrine” type defense you have to knowingly assess the threat and take action. It can’t be automated.
