I should point out at this juncture that you can get an airsoft Claymore now, which is slightly less likely to also blow the front wall off of your house the next time those pesky Jehovah's Witnesses ring your doorbell but likely to be at least still 80%, maybe 85% as hilarious.
Who needs either when you can pick up a musket and flintlock from a historical auction?
Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
*more hilarious. They survive to be pranked again. Also you don't have to worry about the pesky "domestic terrorist" label.
But the doorbell can't discriminate, it'll activate no matter who presses the button. Case dismissed.
Booby traps are a felony, so I'd stick to the one that doesn't add manslaughter.
I didn't put tits on mine tho
Look, the police camera you bought is more than enough to keep me away from your door.
Add to the mayhem by wiring the button to a very loud siren or horn over the person's head, have a bright flashing strobe light go off in three different directions, get the button to generate a momentary light electrical shock to the finger and have about four water balloons land on their head at the same time.
If all goes well, it will make them feel like the actual claymore did go off.
LOL, I have an oooh-ooogahhh horn and strobe. BRB, need to run wires in the attic.
It's funny the first time... Not so much when the local kids start ding-dong-ditching your house on a regular basis.
Then you start wanting an actual claymore.
Fuck it; have an arty sim drop about 2m away. If that doesn't rattle them...
No matter the combination ..... add a smoke machine to the whole thing too
Also you should get on the intercom and laugh at them
There is a video from Ukraine of a soldier that fails to resist pressing a doorbell attached to a random tree in a forest. Of course, there is a mine under his feet
The morbid part of me really wants to see that video
Finally, a no soliciting sign that won't be ignored!
It will... Just once tho
you gotta put those claymores to good use, cant have them laying around.
Wait till they try to detonate it.
Why put a bell in the first place if you don't want people to use it?
Without the button, people will knock
Now it's clear that you should not knock, but use the button, at your own risk
I would rather knock but only if I really needed something at this place
It's actually a false door and a pressure trigger for the mine, the doorbell is just a decoy.
It simultaneously wants to be pressed and shouldn't be pressed.
HAHA I want one!!!
