And if you have a monitored system, you will get...what?  The smugness
of knowing that someone will eventually respond to an alarm.  How much
injury/property damage/theft can occur in the minutes it might take
someone to respond to your alarm?

Trap guns are a wise and inexpensive addition to any amateur alarm
system.   Anyone can pick up a handful of SNSs for a hundred bucks or
so, and rig them up themselves.   And they make noise!

The downside is, you might occasionally have to remove a burglar's
corpse from your window or doorway.
