And if all else fails, hopefully they will only be after your property and not the lives or genitalia of your wife/daughter. Besides, it usually ONLY takes 15-30 minutes for the police to respond in most areas, assuming that you can even call them to begin with.
Maybe it's just me, but I seem to find that many of our brothers and sisters in Europe (and probably Canada too) tend to have a "victimistic" attitude. It seems as though they would rather be beaten/raped/killed before they could ever consider defending themselves from violent criminals. Almost like a flock of sheep?
Ah, now I remember why my ancestors came to the United States!
