Of course you could connect an automated firearm. (Crime Stoppers Note: aways aim for the head to avoid protective vests) Any lawyers on the list know what penalties might be brought. I seem to recall that tying a shotgun to the door knob was ruled an "indescriminate weapon" But a FaceCam controlled gun wouldn't be indescriminate.

======================================================================== mmotyka says: A deadly weapon triggered by unreliable SW using a nonexistant database would just give away the fact that you're on to the enemy and cause you undue legal grief. If your own surveillance remains a secret you're in a stronger position. Besides, should you care to tip your hand you might start with something simpler like indelible purple dye. IIRC human skin has a replacement period of ~3 weeks. Chances are your intruders would be from some local or regional installation. Purple people shouldn't be too tough to spot as they make their way to the office and home again ( unless you live in California ). Your more aggressive tactics could then be employed at a time and place of your choosing. ============================================================================ Much funnier would be a spray of DMSO mixed with DMT. And reapplyed evertime they tried to get up. That way, if you made a mistake, and it got you -- oh well. But for a tensed up, uptight LEO -- he'd probably never recover. And still be there babbling for you to have a little fun with when you got home.
