You can put some door armor on your front door. That will stop someone from kicking it in, unless they have a bartering ram: https://www.amazon.com/Door-Armor-MAX-Complete-Reinforcement/dp/B01GWF2R70

I put an old school bar barricade on all my back doors. 2 of my neighbors have already gotten their doors kicked in this season. All home owners should do something to make their doors more secure. Metal door frame reinforcements will be added to my front door.

I love summer in Baltimore!

>There is no legal precedent on how the room must be constructed that I'm aware of, but common sense dictates that you go to reasonable lengths to make it difficult to break into. That would include an exterior door (solid core and steel doors would suffice) and a dead bolt at minimum. I would also recommend reinforcing the door frame.

Thank you, this is exactly what I'm looking for, I'm going with a steel door, with a proper deadbolt with something like https://www.amazon.ca/gp/aw/d/B01GWF2R70/ref=pd_aw_sim_60_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=GGV9M5HB2RYXMYAECK7D&dpPl=1&dpID=51N7tq2kyNL with the plaster reinforced with plywood.

>If the room is a safe, it could be argued that you could store loose ammo in the same room as the firearms but IANAL. To answer your question, though, yes the ammo can be put into a locked safe, cabinet, or ammo can inside the room.

I kind of figured, but since I'll have an empty safe, better safe than sorry.

> can be defeated with a screwdriver? jfc. I'd best be doing some research on worthwhile upgrades.

yup. but the weak link is the door jamb something like this will delay a break in but nothing stops a determined thief.

Get a front door that doesnt have a window, or has a very small window. You can also get a door with a steel core and no windows for added security.

​

If you have any first floor windows, plant thorny bushes in front of them and keep them at window height to discourage entry through a window. Yes someone can still get over a thorny bush, but its going to create an additional time and inconvenience for them when breaking in, as compared to a non-thorny bush, or a window with no bush at all. The point of all of this and the following is just to increase the time it will take for a successful entry, burglars arent (too) stupid, and will pick softer targets than you that they think they can get in, and get out of quickly. Their ideal home is one where no one is home, the entry is easy, and they can grab items of value and get out in under 4 minutes. If the door takes 6 minutes to kick down, its not going to work. If they can't bump the lock, or cut through glass on the door to unlock from the inside, its not going to work. If they can't quite reach the window with their cutting tool because of the thorny bush, and they have to cover it with a jacket and awkwardly climb over, its not going to work. You want them to be forced to make noise to enter, while slowing their time to enter. Noise can alert neighbors if you're not home, and if you are home it can give you time to chamber a round in your rifle, turn the optic on, put on your electronic ear protection etc. That way you can have fun instead of quickly grabbing your pistol off the nightstand because its the only gun you keep in condition 1/0. You want time to prepare, and you want to know they're coming. Everything below is centered around slowing down thieves and home invaders and making their entry louder.

​

Consider the following products.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GWF2R70/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_d

Installed around the door frame this steel lining makes it EXTREMELY difficult to kick down or batter down a locked door, and also isn't visible.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00A3XQ9YU/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_d

If you don't have a very secure door lock, you may consider one of these two products as they prevent burglars from "lock bumping," which is a common lock-picking technique for people who have the typical door locks that you can buy at home depot etc. and aren't very secure.

​

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E3FJQSA/?ref=idea_lv_dp_ov_d

Another way to combat lock-bumping is to buy a very secure door lock like a medeco, the keys required to lock bump a medeco are far rarer than those to bump a home depot lock, and most burglars simply don't have them.

​

Last but not least a metal door re-enforcer can stop a door from being kicked in if the steel frame and lock are defeated, but I think this product is overkill if you already have a steel frame and high quality lock.

​

Also consider a gun in case some does manage to get past all of this. However, despite being a gun owner, I don't really think owning one is necessary, as it is a last resort. Most forced entry is done through the door or windows, once you secure those, you simply need to be vigilant when entering and exiting your house. Have a camera or peep-hole to see who's there before you open the door, if you can't see them or they don't answer, don't open the door. Most home invasions depend on the home owner opening the door and allowing entry or upon someone kicking the door lock in. While most burglars are dependent on lock-picking, broken windows, or entry through windows. A burglar will run if they think someone is home or that someone might spot/hear them. A home invader is hoping someone is home

​

When coming home, don't unlock your car doors until the garage is closed and be vigilant for someone on foot following you in as you park. When departing the home do the opposite. Keep the door to your house from your garage locked as well.

​

Don't display wealth or possessions outside of the home. Some people think those signs that say Secured by .45 or whatever with a gun depicted on them scare burglars. But really all it says is that "when I'm not home there are probably guns here for you to steal." Guns, Jewelry, Cash, and to a lesser extent electronics are going to be targets for burglars, and signs like that advertise that at least one of those things will be inside to be worth stealing.

I got this for my door and love it. The key to immediately upgrading door strength is longer screws. This comes with 3-4 in screws and a lot more

Something like this to start If you aren't home, a cable lock takes seconds to defeat and your firearm is stolen. Get good locks and door armor and most break ins won't happen.

These are easy to install with a drill and impact driver which you can rent or borrow those easy enough. While you have the drill I would suggest some sort of remote storage security camera(s) covering doors and windows that have external access.

As for firearm suggestions, AR15 easy peasy. Ground Zero is cheap. You can get a Ruger or S&W for close to the same price too.
