Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.

How many years of work experience do you REALLY need before applying?
CPR Trainer
Are men better at CPR than women because they're generally stronger?
They are for the temporary restraint of suspects who are being detained or arrested.
Share Answer: 
Criminals are generally lazy. So, to reduce the chances of a criminal breaking into your home, make things more difficult for them. Consider things like
- good locks, door and windows
- a security system
- a camera system
- good night time lighting
- trimming back overgrown landscaping that can help conceal them
- own a large dog (or two)
Of course, all of these things are merely persuasive in nature. A determined criminal won't care about any of them and will still attempt to break in and harm you. In that case, having a plan and means to protect yourself and your family is needed. That might include a firearm - but that is a personal decision.
If you own or are thinking about owning a gun for self-defense, get training. A local concealed weapon class is not training. Good training will generally run two days or longer and will give you the basic skills needed to use a firearm under extremely stressful conditions.
There are a variety of trainers out there that can help such as Paul Carlson http://www.safetysolutionsacademy.com/ , Grant Cunningham http://www.personalsecurity.us/ , and Massad Ayoob http://massadayoobgroup.com/ .

You need to take responsibility for your own life. Move out, get a job and your own place. There is no reason why you should be complaining about any restrictions placed on your continued stay in their house and on their dime. If you don't like it, hit the door.
Also, you clearly have no understanding of the US Constitution if you think the First Amendment applies to this situation.
