I just assumed they would treat every situation as if it was an armed intruder. Interesting view.....thanks.seamusTX wrote:I'm speculating here, but my guess is that if the police respond to an alarm, they want to know if the intruder possibly armed himself with a weapon found in the house.

Home Alarm Permit
The town I reside in requires a $5.00 annual permit to have a monitored home alarm.
I received a reminder in the mail yesterday that stated I need to obtain this permit or be charged with a misdemeanor crime in the event that police had to respond....ok, I paid the five bucks...no problem.
The interesting part of the application is that one of the questions asked if there are firearms in the home! Why does it matter? Am I under any legal oblgation to answer the question? This was a bit of a surprise to me....I thought you folks might be able to shed some light on the situation.
FWIW.....one of my dear friends is the firearms instructor for the department and I shoot with a large percentage of the force. These guys already know I have guns...I just found it funny that something like that would be asked.
