RE: SHTF home security
I've some of those alarm mines. They don't take normal cartridges and if they did they would not be any use. When the cartridge primer is hit it detonates and this ignites the gunpowder.
In a gun this expands in a steel tube pushing all in it's way, the shot, along the barrel.
In the mine this expands the case until it ruptures and the gas is released through the weakest point, not pushing that heavy shot anywhere.
Now if it was in your hand you would know it as you take the force of the blast but not while in a mine unless the mine was touching your leg and even then it would be unclear which side would rupture.
You would need to fit the cartridge in a tube, emulating a barrel and that wouldn't fit in the mine.
The only way to do it would be build your own mine and that would constitute a firearm and thus illegal.

But if someone is friendly, an attack might not be the best idea.
Also, if someone comes by then leaves peacefully, that's even better.
Wait and see their intention, then respond accordingly.

RE: SHTF home security
if the shit happened and you had food or any thing some wanted then the last man standing takes all?
remember you can't just pop to the shop or find an easy target if your hungry and you want it you go for it and the devil be damed.
if the rule of law is gone then any thing will go
to win the war, you must be willing to die

your going to let them in, they see you have food, then you let them leave?? they will tell everyone else you have food they come back in a mob! take them out i say! 1 less to deal with later! 
Some people that prefer to be alone arent anti-social they just have no time for drama, stupidity and false people.
