If you hear a noise outside your home or someone trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies.

My dog hears this stuff long before I can and makes almost as much noise. ;-)

Just beware of the Car Key Gnomes

[muir_redwoods]

Not a bad idea, I’ll keep them near the Mossberg.

Alarms aren’t a bad thing, but I wouldn’t be overly reliant on it. First, people are accustomed to car alarms going off and aren’t going to come running.

If the intruder intends to do you harm, they understand that you likely tripped the car alarm and they also know how to turn it off with the same key fob.

I had a 100 lb dog that hated strangers and had tremendously powerful jaws(I really miss him). I considered him to be my 10 second warning. He might have scared an intruder or worse, but I assumed that a serious intruder would kill him, but that I would have gotten my 10 seconds to react.

In reading reports on home invasions, women are most likely to be the victims of what I would call armed and motivated attackers who may not even care about getting caught, but relish the idea of the woman feeling totally defenseless and frightened... like the look in her eyes when he picks up the key fob and turns off the alarm.

So yea, great idea, as long as you also have an active means of defense.

My keys are in my pants pocket. My gun is beside the bed. The 5 D cell Mag light is at the bottom of the stairs - dogs everywhere.

I don’t think I need the panic button.

I’d rather grab my Number Tac II with 230 grain JHP by Hornady and move to cover.

While covered take my 1,000 lumen flashlight and aim it toward the door with one hand and gun in the other.

They will die blind and shocked.

I predict a lot of PO’d neighbors the result of the many false alarms created from nocturnal animals, tree branches etc.

[Revolting cat!]

What to do if you have a keyless entry vehicle?

[manic4organic]

I have an 1993 Silverado. I’ll have to find other ways...

[ßuddaßudd]

My wife wont let me have the car alarm button for for the car I drive.... what does that mean?

[Boxsford]

Great idea! I Will try it out to make
sure the remote reaches my car.
Thanks for posting!!

PUT YOUR CAR KEYS BESIDE YOUR BED AT NIGHT

I expected it to be some kind of bug-out advice. I imagine there are still a few of us that don't have electronic keys or fobs. I'll continue to keep my keys in the chest-of-drawers and wonder why I had to waste my time responding to this. ;^)

[Fireone]

I have five cars and trucks, but none of them have an alarm,
so I guess I’ll just shoot.

PUT YOUR CAR KEYS BESIDE YOUR BED AT NIGHT

No thanks. I will stick with my AR-15 and my pistol. Wife has the shotgun on her side, so she's good, too.

[ncpatriot]

Thx. I like that idea.

I also use my key alarm when I can’t find my car at WalMart. I can’t remember where I park it.

[KGeorge]

This is a *good* idea. I’d just as soon run somebody off before I’d have to choot ‘em.

To thackney, Feed ‘em. That way, you can kinda control where they go. We have a courtyard (where the dogs never go) & the backyard (the only critters that go back there are frogs, chipmunks, & squirrels- well, & the birds. *Rarely* have drama with the dogs). We’ve been doing this for years & discovered it by accident.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

If I scare them and they run I’ll have a Hell of a time getting off a good shot!
