Anything lethal or even injury causing is usually illegal. That's another
reason I think about it but never do it. Things to slow them down, make
noise, turn on lights and otherwise harass intruders are helpful but will
not always keep a determined thief out. Additional remedies are available
it you happen to catch them in the act but there are many risks. /jim

I have thought about them too. But...
They are illegal everywhere. You would be the one spending your life in
prison if someone is killed by one. Your family would lose their home
in the civil suit. Then there is the regret if you killed a kid who
just made a bad choice that night.
