If an alarm goes off and wakes up half the neighborhood (mine will

) then you really think a burglar is going to hang around and try to get your stuff? Even if the police would take 10 minutes to get there, half your neighbors are by now awake and you yourself are too. And unless you are dealing with some psychopath who is out to kill you specifically then he's going to run rather then complete his mission. But even then, even with a law in place that says you need a permit to own a gun, what's the problem? Just get a permit and have that 9 mil in your drawer late at night. I don't see the big deal.
