security
Security is the degree of resistance to, or protection from, harm. It applies to any vulnerable and valuable asset, such as a person, dwelling, community, item, nation, or organization.
As noted by the Institute for Security and Open Methodologies (ISECOM) in the OSSTMM 3, security provides "a form of protection where a separation is created between the assets and the threat." These separations are generically called "controls," and sometimes include changes to the asset or the threat.
Security is said to have two dialogues. Negative dialogue is about danger, risk, threat etc. Positive dialogue is about opportunities, interests, profits etc. Negative dialogue needs military equipment, armies, or police. Positive dialogue needs social capital, education, or social interaction.
Those of you running reputable systems, your feedback is appreciated.
There are a lot of brands out there. What brands are best for longevity of operation, consumer support, etc?

I have super bright white lights outside my house already, ranging from 800 lumens to 2,700 lumens depending on the area.
Trouble is if away the lights being on during the day are a dead giveaway. So I'm trying to replace some of the bulbs with those auto on/off dusk to dawn bulbs. I would buy...
I went to a Portland Pickles game in Lents Park (I think it is called Walker Stadium). Really great atmosphere and I had a great time. They beat Yuba City 9-4 in a lively game with a lot of action.
I wanted to carry, but saw they have a no-guns policy. I saw no description of security in any...

I came across this while searching for a pic of Nelson saying "ha ha!".
I knew of this wall and have thought of variations on it, I just didn't know it was called the "ha ha" wall.
What is a "ha ha wall"?

Hello Everyone,
I just upgraded my truck and am looking for some secure storage for when I carry long guns in my vehicles. Wondering if anyone knows of custom fit under rear seat storage. I bought a Tundra and so far this company is winning for security and concealing.

I recently bought my first house. To say the PO had no cares about security would be an understatement, they went out of their way to remove fences, and generally make home modifications that make me slap my own forehead.

I live on 20 forested acres.
About 4 acres are right around the house and about half of those - ~2 acres - are mostly cleared for the house, the shop, landscaping and the driveway. I am about 100 yards from the private road. My shop is almost 100 yards from the house.
I spent about $15+K to...
