A Firearm is the Best Home Security

Ths one comes to us from SHAUNA SIMEONE at Central Connecticut
State University.

“Recently, a multitude of Brinks Home Security commercials has
been appearing on TV. They are so unrealistic that they would be
comical if their message wasn’t so frightening and misguided.

What happens in most versions of the commercial is a woman is at
home alone when she hears someone trying to break in. After a second
the door f lies open to reveal a burglar as the security alarm is
triggered. The noise of the alarm is enough to send the robber
running away from the home. The woman is left safe and soon receives
a call from Brinks saying that they are sending help to the house
right away.

The unfortunate truth about this system is that it is only
effective if the invader decides to run off after hearing the alarm,
or decides to wait 15 minutes for the cops to show up before causing
any damage. Although it is true that alarm systems can prove to be a
deterrent in home invasions, they don’t protect you 100 per- cent of
the time.

What if you or your family is in the per- centage of invasions
where the invader continues to enter your home? A lot of damage can
be done in the time it takes for the police to make it to your house.
In this case it would be irresponsible to rely on the police to
protect you from harm.”

It illustrates the point that when seconds count, the police will be there in minutes.
