Which is why I have a "good" gun safe. It is where my firearms and other vital items are kept when not in use.

I neglected to add a good video monitoring/recording system to the security system will end the false alarm situation pretty well. Nothing like getting a picture of a guy tapping a window, and the license plate of his buddy's car sitting down the block where he got out.

Of course, some of my security system is built on the premise that the best defense is a good offense. Getting into my house might be easier than getting out. I watch too many "SAW" movies.
