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.

......Oh.

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.

[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.
