Well, if they're Nerf guns it's ok. As long as you have some sort of warning before it goes off so they don't get too scared and have a heart attack. And it can't be one of those startling alerts, either -- you need to use a calming warning siren, else the warning about not having a heart attack might give them a heart attack.

OK, So I'm all set to build my ultimate home defense system.
1: Automatic gun turret with Nerf-type gun attached.
2: Warning in a soft voice clearly stating that no bodily injury will occur upon impact of the harmless projectiles... or is "impact" too strong of a word?
Am I missing anything?

We are constantly advising homeowners to protect their property and the contents of their shed or garage, however, a commonsense approach needs to be taken.
Hmmm, sounds familiar.

I know! For being common, there sure does seem to be a lack of it.

One of my favorite signs. Let the neighbor stand by his convictions.
