Dog

Baseball bat 
Taser (however you spell it)
Mace/Pepper spray
Go to the gym 
And heres something else, more gun inflicted murders are commited in your average American state per year than in the Western Europe. |
Dog, check
Alarms, nope
BB bat, I don't want to get that close to the perp. Might get BB bat inserted into wrong guy, wrong end.
Taser, please tell me where I can legally buy one. Also takes far too long to reload. Works very well for the perp that won't calm down and is surrounded by cops, else cop will throw lead.
Mace, check, but would I really want to use it inside my home, with the kiddies upstairs?
Gym, sure but some people will only get SO big, and there's always someone bigger.
And what do any of these do when the perp is armed??
Also, they're darn fun for target practice and competition shooting.
