Many sliding doors just have a little pivot latch that swings down, and an object can be slide through the edge to push up that latch. This adds a layer of projection.

I have these (not this particular model) for going on 6 years now. While more expensive, of course, I feel these are better option for security over this latch presented here. While yes, you can just break the glass, my glass break sensors will hopefully pick that up. This deadbolt prevents lifting out of the tracks vs. the latch.

you'll probably wish you had a gun some day. It's too bad you've been brainwashed. Oh well better you than me.
BTW, ex-army here and own about 35 guns, a few suppressors, short barreled rifles / shotguns, etc. I know very well having a gun is only about 10% of the equation.
Just because you are military doesn't mean you are correct.

The guy citing "fudlore" is actually citing facts.
""Studies that directly assessed the effect of actual defensive uses of guns (i.e., incidents in which a gun was 'used' by the crime victim in the sense of attacking or threatening an offender) have found consistently lower injury rates among gun-using crime victims compared with victims who used other self-protective strategies. ... Almost all national survey estimates indicate that defensive gun uses by victims are at least as common as offensive uses by criminals, with estimates of annual uses ranging from about 500,000 to more than 3 million per year, in the context of about 300,000 violent crimes involving firearms in 2008.""

So, yes, millions per year.
Waiting in your house for an event to occur is the definition of "defense."
Okay? But a vast majority of gunshots are survivable. Knife and machete attacks are more often deadly. By your logic a gun is a poor choice because of the lack of deadliness.
Millions? There are 200 million adults in the US. So even for a "million times" per year that would be 1:200 adults protect themselves annually with a firearm. You aren't even that likely to get food poisoning.
Aren't police officers at a MUCH higher risk of getting shot and / or killed vs an unarmed civilian? Or verses an unarmed police officer in another country? Tell me how that works if guns are a magic shield against death.
A gun will not protect you, me, the criminal, a police officer, etc. Proper training will AND being at the right place at the right time, reacting at the exact moment needed, and so on does give you the edge though. Even Navy SEALS get killed by kids with improvised weapons. Just having a firearm does not mean you are survive a violent encounter otherwise it would be impossible for two people with guns to harm each other. Owning a gun actually makes you much more likely to be a "victim" and to be killed during a home invasion.
"Brainwashed?" LOL said the guy citing fudlore not facts.
