One of the things that will probably be a contributing factor is the advent of video cameras that send alerts to cell phones. All you need is a guy that's got a spoon or shotspoon handy, and a doorbell camera, and a few kids that dilly dally before they get to kicking and end up being slower than the guy inside.

I agree, if someone has enough cameras that alert them in advance, they could easily be armed before the a-holes get to the front door. If you saw three guys in all black, hoods, and masks approaching your front door, what would you do? I sure as hell would quickly arm myself.
