NON-LETHAL HOME DEFENSE

We all can learn a thing or two from Kevin McCallister, here is someone who ready for his attackers with everyday household items. But how do you prepare for unexpected trouble? REMEMBER its all about preparedness not paranoia. Many of you have fire extinguishers in your homes, are you expecting a fire? No, you have there as a tool just in case. Just like your tool for a fire, what kind of tools should you have for home safety?

It all starts by having a home defense protocol. By this i mean analyze your home, take a look at the strong and weak points. The protocol should be talked over and designed by all members of the household. Even include children, (**READ THIS STORY)
The main objective is to have things just in place at any given moment, even when you have guest over. A basic self defense course would be very useful, learning to fight off an attacker that armed or unarmed. Also the course should mentally prepare you for fatal use of force. Even though you practice for a non lethal approach, defensive knife wounds could be fatal. You should be prepared to assess the situation and take control. The whole objective of an intruder is to neutralize all parties, your role is to counter attack and keep everything in YOUR control.

There are Four items you will need that will be the core of your home defense protocol.
- Inexpensive tactical style knife
- Pepper Spray - Highly recommend INFERO
- Tactical style flashlights - I highly recommend one with a strobe/flash feature
- A home security system - motion detectors and a panic button works great

Here are some examples






These are all you will need to setup a basic home defense system. How far will you go to protect your loved ones. Also a dog would work well in the home to provide adequate security. Its all about having a fighting chance, remember calling 911 just won't cut it like the Warren vs D.C. case
