Today, there was a large brush fire 30 yards from my home due to idiots with firecrackers. I guess I'm gonna need fire suppression now, too!

Yep - also encouraged me to buy more cameras!

Re: Reason you decided to get CHL ?
Thanks for the repost- I couldn't get the video to embed dispute checking several web sites and FAQs.
Yeah he was quite determined to get in. He wasn't able to get anything, but he did sufficiently damage my tv - so we got a bigger, nicer one.
The chill I got was when he got in. My son could have been there, if he was, he would have had hs head phones on and been completely vulnerable.
Since then we've bolstered the doors with metal strikers that run the full length of the door.
If you check the youtube channel for my posts, you'll see other cameras and a TV interview.

Re: Reason you decided to get CHL ?
Hi everyone- I'm new here and thought I'd chime in in the topic.
We live in a 'gentrified' neighborhood in Austin and have had several run ins that could have become very violent, as well as a break-in that left us shaken up somewhat. The ability to flee isn't always going to be an option. See the youtube video below.

As a result we armed up and started going to the range. That has resulted in our family having a great time and evolved into a family outing- so we did pull something positive out of the experience. Also, giving my son his first, a Ruger 10/22, was a special moment and bond for us that I will always cherish.
The fact that guys like the one in my video exist and probably live near me is reason enough to carry for us. That he and his ilk can and probably do carry is an even bigger reason to be prepared. My family is too precious to not carry any longer.
