I know that security is a bit of a show and its really more of a deterant, but I was wondering realistically how I could prevent someone breaking and entering a small-ish American home? What is actually effective?

This is moronic advice coming from someone who has never even held a gun, much less seen a situation where one is a life-saving tool. Firearms don’t work like they do in the movies.
If you want to use one for self-defense, seek professional training, learn the local laws, and also make sure you have insurance. Even lawful uses of firearms get brought into court. This can be financially disastrous if you aren’t prepared for it.
If you choose to deploy a firearm for personal defense, you shoot high-center-mass and you shoot until the target stops doing whatever it was that warranted them being shot. In areas that have a duty to retreat, you must comply with those and other requirements before, during, and after you deploy your firearm.
Don’t listen to internet knuckleheads about firearms. It’ll get you killed or imprisoned for a very long time.
Okay, so your method is to become a cold killer. What a moron you are. You’re the reason gun issues are a problem.
Thank you for continuing to demonstrate you know absolutely nothing about the subject, but yet you appear to think we should care about your uneducated, ignorant opinion.
Talk to me when you know what “AOJ” means.
Damn, dude deleted themself from the internet because we wouldn’t feed into their hero fantasy.
Hilarious.
I’m betting he learned AOJ in this context means “Ability, Opportunity, Jeopardy” - the standard three-prong test used in justifiable homicide cases. Why is justifiable homicide relevant here? Because firearms are LETHAL weapons in the court’s eyes. There is no defense for “I aimed for the leg and tried to disable but oopsie doopsie I hit the femoral artery and they bled out on the street right in front of me.” Or, worse, “I aimed for the perp’s leg, missed, and the bullet traveled through the walls of your house, then through the walls of the house across the street and into a child’s bedroom, killing an uninvolved child.”
If the situation can’t clear the AOJ test, you’re going to prison for manslaughter, best case. Because firearms are LETHAL weapons.
If you’re going to use one, use it with the understanding that you are deploying lethal force. The circumstances need to warrant an escalation to lethal force. And know how to shoot. Get training. Practice. Real life ain’t like the movies. Just look up the number of hours of range time Keanu put in to prep for the Wick movies.
