Home Defense During Riots, Looting and Civil Unrest

By Michael D. Nolting


As a young hunter then a soldier and former Policeman I've been around weapons most all my life and to me they are just tools machines if you will, machines that have to be respected. But for my wife well. she was just plain scared to the bone of the tools of my trade. But years back hearing me talk with the guys about work and the break-ins, the home invasions and other heinous acts that happen to good people she finally asked me to recommend something she could use.

I instantly replied a Shotgun is your best defense and my little wife launched into a ten minute dissertation as to why that was not her weapon of choice. Once she ended her little tirade I asked her if I could just state my case. I knew I didn't have much time so I said; "Honey" that always helps. I explained the Shotgun I am talking about is small only 26 inches long and it doesn't weigh much and the stellar point about this machine is you don't need bullets. She worries because of the children in the house and those who visit.

Steel Batons. I suggest you have this handy weapon in your bedroom when sleeping at night, an extendable baton gives you leverage by 3 feet and is a painful impact weapon that I highly recommend.Choose self defence weapons you are comfortable with you could use in a life or death emergency.I often get asked what the best form of self defense is.Or, what is the best self defense product to carry. My answer is always the same. The best form of self defense that which you are able and willing to do. The best self defense product is the one that you are actually willing to carry and use.Because there are many women who are not able to train in physical self defense, due to time constraints or physical limitations, I prefer to focus on things that can be carried and used by anyone, regardless of age, size or strength.

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.

The other day, a woman asked me about pepper sprays. She told me she wanted one, but wasn't sure which one would be best. I asked her where she intended to keep it. She told me she wanted to keep it in her car. I recommended a pepper spray that had an auto visor clip, and showed her how easy it was to use and how it would stay in place in her vehicle rather than rolling around, inaccessible in her glove box or center console. Anything used for protection that is not readily accessible is useless in case of an emergency.

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.

There is anecdotal evidence to show that home burglary is on the rise. Just look at your local TV station news every night. There's almost always a story about a home burglary or home invasion.

Some police officials state that because of the poor economy, more people are turning to burglary. Burglary is a low risk high reward enterprise. But there are some things that scare burglars away. That's why security gadgets and security devices are selling more than ever before. They are a cheap way to improve home defense. Here are four security gadgets to improve your home defense.A burglar who had committed over 70 burglaries successfully recently got caught and revealed some home protection tips to homeowners to prevent burglary. One of them was that if he saw a security camera on a house-even a fake one-he would definitely stay away!

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.
