I have a crazy 80 lb dog and a combat veteran husband with ptsd. He doesn’t sleep much and instantly goes on patrol if the dog starts barking in the middle of the night. Honestly, if someone broke into my house, good luck to them. Everyone else’s suggestions are more reasonable, but those are mine. Get yourself a large crazy dog and a combat vet.

if you lack the combat Vet you only need to remember that random passing suspect #5 doesn't know that.

A pair of well worn, muddy army boots at the door with 2-3 fired shotgun shells (just ask someone who goes to a range if they can give you some) lying on the floor next to them will already make many would-be robbers reconsider their choice.

Criminals mostly act based on their experience and what opportunities they see: the moment they feel that the risk is higher than the reward they'll go for something easier, less risky.
