i'm a tech guy too, so i have cameras and microphones on my ski lot and shop with motion activated dvr, with my personal skis in my basement garage. and thanks to the wonderful laws in nc, " An owner can defend his or her property using reasonable and necessary force, as long as its not deadly" and "a) A lawful occupant within a home or other place of residence is justified in using any degree of force that the occupant reasonably believes is necessary, including deadly force, against an intruder to prevent a forcible entry into the home or residence or to terminate the intruder's unlawful entry (i) if the occupant reasonably apprehends that the intruder may kill or inflict serious bodily harm to the occupant or others in the home or residence, or (ii) if the occupant reasonably believes that the intruder intends to commit a felony in the home or residence."
now i would never do such a thing willingly, but needless to say i'm prepared should the need ever arise. but needless to say, my skis, myself and family have our insurance through ruger,colt, and Beretta.
