If you are not prepared to train and work with these guys or gals they will wind up in a shelter.
I have had giant breed German shepherds and I now own Anatolian shepherds they are not for everyone. I am the one in charge and they trust me to keep them safe. Dogs are not an easy answer. Anatolian’s and breeds that guard are independent thinkers, if they perceive something or someone is dangerous you may be looking at a lawsuit think the mail person. Again do not get a guard dog unless you are prepared to work with them. I met lassie and he was trained to the max.

I'm sure you realize that you often have little time to find, operate and open your gun's lock box.

Do you have a plan in case your loaded (ready to shoot) gun gets in the "wrong" hands?

It's stored in a biometric lock box, the only way someone can get it is with my (or my wife's) fingers

Most cameras do that. Ring is good for both alerting cameras and motion censor lights.

She. She was left tied to a tree abandoned on my property. Great Pyrenees are gentle giants, so we took her in.

My Wyze cameras send notifications instantly, announce they are recording, have microphones, spotlights and sirens.
