Something not mentioned is secure doors and windows.
Around 2/3rd of all home breakins are through the door. The rest are through windows(I know, Captain Obvious
) Maybe through a wall once in a blue moon.
Get your doors secured. The weakest point of a door is the frame. Get something like a EZ Armour door jamb kit from Lowes about $70.
Get a door and lock reinforcement kit, $30.
Get some 3" or 4" wood screws for the door hinges(about .50 each)
Get a latch shield, $8
Get a security door brace from Lowes about $20
Get a few 'Beware of Dog' signs, $2 each.
Find you some of those 'Home protected by XYZ Security systems' signs.
Get some of those electronic 'screechers' that emit a loud, ear piercing sound when a door or window is opened. That sound alone will send a thug running. About $20 for a pair.
Get some of those sticky bushes planted around you windows.
Get motion-lights installed. Not overly expensive as you would think.
Get a good yapping dog. Don't get one like I have which will bark at a cricket.
Most theives are pretty dumb and are looking for a quick, easy hit.
There are the 'professional' thiefs that are pretty sophisicated but the harder it is to get in your home, they just may decide to pass on your home.

how many times have we been in a duck blind and a guy couldn't get a shotgun off safety?
Zero
heck when i guided hunts this was a once a day or more occurance.
Lack of practice, shoulder weapon safety comes off,lower weapon safety goes on, glad I'm not hunting with y'all.
If you can't deal with a safety stick to double action revolvers or glocks.
That way when you drop it or pick it up by the trigger guard you won't shoot an unintended target.
