It prevents people from breaking my window. Think about it. How is a gun gonna prevent that? Think positively. I don't keep shit in my car. I'm not worried about any of you. Again, I move through life positively and without fear. It works for me.
Do you wear a seatbelt, avoid oncoming traffic, swat a wasp landing on your shoulder, bundle up on a cold day, wash your hands after excreting? Plain and simple common sense. Not fear, just not suicidal.
It prevents you from knowing if anyone broke into your house while you were gone. I don't care about a broken window. I care about getting tipped off if someone is in or had been in my house. They're more likely to break in through your back window anyway. Out of sight. That's why I have an alarm. Not to keep people out but so I know when they were in. I live in a gated community. Never wanted to and knew when I first was buying a house that it isn't much of a safety feature. It is a good way to keep random solicitors out and that's enough for me. Bonus if you have kids is that only the assholes that live there speed through your neighborhood.
When I was a kid we didn't own a key to our front door until I went into the Army. We never took the keys out of our car's ignition until I must have been somewhere around 14. My dad left the keys in his pickup truck on the job until he died in 1968. Other workmen on the job needed to get in and out meaning vehicles in the way needed to be moved. Most guys or all that I encountered, left their keys in the ingnition so someone needing to get in there could just drive your vehicle out of the way and you wouldn't have to drop what you were doing to move your vehicle out of the way. Today? I lock up everything. I don't leave anything in sight when I leave my car. I place everything in the trunk before I leave for my destination. I wouldn't leave an empty sack in sight 'cause someone might break my window just to find out if anything valuable was in my sack.

It's not a sentence though, it's a result or consequence. Don't come in to MY HOME, that I PAY FOR, trying to take things that are MINE or hurt the people I LOVE, or I'll shoot you in the face. Now the good news for people that think the way you do is that if this happens in Portland, a liberal jury would rule against the home owner if they sued
