Many doors have peepholes but what if you
wanted to do more than just look outside?
What if some perp was at your door and you
wanted to get rid of him fast? Sounding a
loud alarm is useful but then your neighbors
would get mad at you for waking them up.
Introducing! Door Mace! A basic
can of mace
with some mechanics for in-door operation.
Fits into a routed recession in the door, it can
be aimed with a small lever and fired with a
push-button button. It should be high so
that kids can't play double dare with it.

I see people (me) being awfully tempted to use this on Door-to-Door salesmen, in-laws, and Jehova's Witnesses, then getting sued. Please, don't put something this tempting into my hands... |
|
| |
Edit: I can't in good conscience (sp?) bone an idea that I really do like. But I remain firm that I also cannot bun it. (neutral) |
|
| |
So you think it is good (and tempting) and yet you bone it? |
|
| |
Yes... it's an amazing display of self-control, I think. Also, I don't want to get get maced at a friend's house when his girlfriend (who hates me) answers the door. |

Here I was thinking this was a beak- glass- in- case- of- emergency morningstar strapped to your front door. |

It would serve a similar purpose, just be a whole lot more fun to use. |

that law doesnt apply here in Oz, if someone breaks into your house, and you dong 'em, they can rightfully sue you for assault and battery.... |
|
| |
when we lived in the sticks the local cop told us if we ever caught anyone breaking in, to kneck them, take them away, dump 'em, and dont tell anyone. |
|
| |
Yeah, ok Stork, you go right ahead and do that. See you in about 25 years, *if* you make parole. |

hey 21 this is australia, he'll be back in 18 months with good behavior |
|
| |
Oh. I gotta move to Australia.... |
|
| |
How about spraying skunk juice? Lawsuit
still? |
|
| |
[phlish], that was graphic. If anything,
let's keep this idea homebrew so that you
can always make it look like an accident,
atleast the laceration part. |

Or just rig some explosives into the door so if the glass breaks the outer layer of the door explodes outwards, leaving a strong door still standing behind it. Hook it up to a pressure sensor outside the door so it won't explode until the window is broken *and* somebody's standing in front of it. |

stork //when we lived in the sticks//
where do you live now - in a cave, on an
island, in the middle of a swamp? |
