Most people think they will always be safe and never have to worry about riots, looting or civil unrest. However, most people also figured that the US would always be solvent, as opposed to becoming the biggest debtor nation in the history of the world. With the greatest number of people ever now receiving government assistance, what will happen when the government can no longer cut those checks.Equally as bad, what will happen when the checks people receive lose their purchasing power due to hyperinflation? We are living in times unlike any other in history, where generations of Americans have grown up totally financially dependent upon the government, and the government is broke. History has taught us that when people lose hope, they take to the streets, and desperate people do desperate things.
Pepper spray. This weapon flares up the mucous membranes in your nose, mouth and throat. It also causes a burning sensation in your eyes and it hurts to breathe. The effects last 20 minutes. The pepper spray canister is small and concealable and gives you up to 6 feet leverage.Tazers. They come in hand held close combat styles, as well as gun styles that shoot hooked electric charged hooks into your attacker. It will paralyze your assailant in pain but only lasts a few minutes. I would recommend the pepper spray for longer lasting effects.
The first thing to do is to employ passive measures to make your house less of a target. Just as the overwhelming majority of home invasions happen through the front door, your front door communicates a lot to would-be looters. If your outer door is the kind with decorative steel instead of a large pane of glass, it looks much less inviting. So your first step of "house hardening" should be to look at replacing your front door. In addition, the installation of "The Door Club" is a $40 investment that will make your door nearly impossible to kick in, and it will take less than an hour to install. This way, when you are home and the door club is in place, anyone wanting to come in your front door will be stopped, or at the very least delayed greatly, even if they have a battering ram that the police use.
Safety Is Beautiful,Once your front door is secured, both by looking secure with a steel outer door, and by being very secure with a Door Club, turn your attention to your front windows. It is NOT necessary to install burglar bars, which most people find less than attractive. A great way to keep people from coming in your windows is by planting rose bushes! Anyone who has picked roses knows from painful experience that a bush full of sharp thorns is NOT an obstacle that you will take lightly. Planting rose bushes is a very modest investment - they can be purchased for under ten dollars each and they grow and grow. Anyone starting to go through your roses to get to your window will soon stop.
A More Fiendish Deterrent,While you are waiting for your roses to grow, or if there is an emergency before you have time to plant them, boards like 2 x 4's with nails sticking up will do the same thing. They can be either fastened to the window sill to let those approaching know what they are in for, or they can be placed on the ground under the windows with a half-inch of dirt concealing them, so that looters will discover them the hard way.
Police statistics show that 90 percent or more of all all home burglaries can be prevented. Sixty percent of all home burglaries happen through unlocked doors and windows. And the shocking thing about home invasions is they almost always occur through the front door. Usually what happens is that someone rings the doorbell or knocks on a door and the home invaders given an inch barge right in.The most obvious way-the best defense-to prevent a home invasion is to use your peephole and see who is at your front door before you let them in. If you don't have a peephole. Then you should get one.There are many things that homeowners can do to improve their home security that are free or at no cost that will help prevent a home invasion. Here are the top eight tips.Start or join a 'neighborhood watch' they are free and very effective.Clear potential hiding places from lower level doors and windows.Post a sign in your front yard warning of a viscous guard dog.Eliminate darkened areas around your home with motion activated spotlights.
In an economy with a nearly 20% unemployment (Even the NY Times says take the "official numbers" and double them) the fact is that the uneducated, the unfeeling, the psychopathic by nature or just the desperate turn to crime to make ends (of their crack pipe) meet and you are the most likely target. Why? Because you are in some database that says you are not legally able to buy a weapon to defend your family, your children, your property or yourself. Or you are on some social site stating clearly and calmly that no way on earth will you allow a firearm in your home.
Three or four years ago you were without any real, viable method for domestic and personal defense and, should a home invasion occur, you would be the victim of a particularly horrible crime. The sad fact is that you cannot count on the police to be there just when you need them most. In this world you have to be ready to defend your children, you family, your property and yourself on your own.
If a woman is still not satisfied with all these self defense weapons, tasers are a logical next step. After all, a stun gun is 85% effective but tasers are virtually 100% effective. With well made tasers, women's self defense becomes a sure thing. Tasers will stop any aggressor, no matter how big or how crafty. What is more, tasers are good for up to 15 feet from the target. That means that the woman need not give the attacker the chance to take over her self defense weapons.
Paintballing is now a family sport with men, women and young people of all ages involved. It is played in the woods, inside buildings, in paintball parks and in urban environments and not just some silly looking make believe battleground.The Generation 6 paintball weapon is a self-contained, rapid fire single shot, 3 round burst or fully automatic, magazine fed weapon that can, in the right hands, and with a little training be a highly effective method for family, home and personal defense.In short, non-lethal does not mean painless or ineffective by any stretch of the imagination. And unlike conventional firearms anyone over the age of 18 can purchase and legally own their choice of paintball weapons. There are no government restrictions what-so-ever. This means that regardless of your past you now have a legal, very effective way to protect your children, your family, yourself and your home.
