Re: ME: Man shot and killed by his own front door booby trap
Legal or not, I would never set these up for precisely this reason. I have an alarm on the door to the room where I keep my gun safes that is separate from my home alarm system (maybe I am paranoid?), and I can't count the number of times I have set that alarm off because I forgot to disarm it.
