yeah, it's always been that locks are there to keep honest people honest. If someone wants your car, or wants into your home, there's nothing you can do.
But in concealed carry states, criminals who want to live think twice about it. Then it's only the insane and/or drug-crazed, out of their minds criminals you have to worry about. But if you're carrying, your worries are fewer.

I would say just 'carry' states in general.

This has been around for a very long time, but thanks to You Tube, it's getting lots of publicity.
I've been getting a few e-mails regarding the practice.
It's a chicken-egg thing but it still bugs me that there are the how-to's floating around.
The reality is that few people are singled out as targets-at-any-cost. They're victims of opportunity. The one thing that people can do is make themselves less a target and less vulnerable than the next guy. This is almost always a reactive process and since most people only react when they've become the victim, there is no shortage of potential victims.

Locks only keep opporunistic thieves and mayhem womks out.
A house isn't terribly secure.
My office is a steel "space" building. Steel and concrete block.
To get in is fairly easy through block with a heavy hammer. Sheet rock wall after that. No need to open doors and trip prox sensors. (have since put motion sensor(s).

The shop I used to work at stored all their inventory in a 'more secure' room, which was brick on the outside, all the doors were alarmed/sensored, but the key was line of sight sensors along each wall, so if anyone broke a hole and came in the alarm would go off. The walls also had chainlink fence built into them behind the drywall, or so they said.
