Newsflash. If an "XE goone" as you put it, aims a rifle at you, don't worry your pretty paranoid head. I promise you won't see it coming.

Clem : Hey buddy, A drive way allert works well to let you know if some one is approaching on foot or by car. $20.00 from Harbor Freight. If you are serious though, you will have to concider 6-24-7. That is; 6 adults, 24 hours a day, 7days a week. That is the bare minimum for security according to John Moore who has a line sheet longer than the Amazon. We live in the county, and that being the case, we are a soft target. If I get a hint that we could become victoms. I will move my family right out of this country without hesitation and say goodby to the stuff that I have collected over the years. I have been selling a lot of tools and equipment that I can live without, raising capitol and investing in mobile assets just for this purpose. Remember Katrina and those that were high and dry. I just got news that oil rain is real and if I lived in the south, I would pack up and be gone in 48 hours! Not a coward, non emotional, just plain realistic. I don’t wish to see some Xe goone pointing his weapon at me or my family. “M” in the James Bond movies, often said to James;”Allways have an escape plan and never let them see you bleed”. Very good advice indeed. God bless and hurry! Things are going to get ugly.

I seen where you can create bullet proofing where you take 2 sheets of 1/4 in plywood and sandwich a sheet of metal between. I can not remember the thickness of the metal (I would like to say 1/8 of an inch) These three bolted together was to stop most bullets. you could put this around your perimeter walls up to 4ft. It could be painted to look decent. you could also put this in your car doors to semi bullet proof you auto

You might try 3M security film and installing a security storm doors.

The 3M security film is VERY hard to break through. Search it up on youtube and you’ll see how secure it can really make a window. While it won’t prevent a determined intruder, it will definitely slow them down and give you time to prepare/leave.

Lowes sells security storm doors that lock themselves in 3 different places along the door frame and are nearly bullet proof. They are a little pricey but also very difficult to overcome.
