Limiting Number of Accounts per User

I am trying to limit the number of Accounts per user that have the custom field "Protected" checked off.  I created the following trigger and tested it out on sandbox but it doesn't seem to be working.

You need to use below line in your trigger:-
accs.addError('You are your limit of account');

Just replace the System.debug() with above like.
Let us know if this will help you

If you are checking for "Protected" checked off then you may need to check condition as 
IF(accs.protected__c == False) instead of True.
Then count existing accounts for that user where "Protected" is checked off and if it is >99 display error if limit is 100.
 
Secondly, Amit rightly mentioned you need to use addError function here to display error.

Thanks Gentlemen!

Is there a way to limit number of Accounts per user without creating a custom field? How will the code differ then ?
