The Home Defense is broke down into 2 categories Home Security and Home Defense.
Home Security - LOW-TECH / HIGH-TECH - Is prevention and early warning detection, electronic surveillance. Video cameras outside / inside of home, motion sensors in front of doors and windows.
Low tech is placement of trip wires, beer can alarms in the backyard, inside of gates, guard dogs, etc.The use of motion sensor lights, near doors and windows, for the outside of the home.
Home Security - Inside the home, reinforce door frames, that serve as entrances / exits, install shatter proof sliding glass doors instead or keeping the regular sliding glass doors, make sure the sliding glass doors are stick / board wedged, so they can't be forced open. Install kick resistance plates, on the entrance door(s). Main goal of Home Security, to keep them from entering the home.
Home Defense - + Precautions + Fallback Plans + Evacuation Routes + Alarms + Communications
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sirens and loud alarms, blasting will help deter robbers, home invaders, have Sirens and loud alarms placed throughout the house for easy access. Use of bright lights, keeping powerful LED tactical flashlights, stun guns, pepper spray around the house, a non-lethal option, if there are children in the house, is better than leaving loaded guns out laying around, but should still be out of reach for them.
Training your children to be cautious and use safety, can never be a bad thing. They must have and show respect and be knowledgeable of dangerous weapons and to respect them, not to play around with them, but to handle them with extreme caution. It is also wise to teach your children fallback plans if there ever is an intruder, how to evacuate, sound alarms and call for help, using different sources of communications if needed, such as CB radios, HAM radios, cell phones, all available comms.
Your weakest link may be your only salvation, if you are severely wounded, needing emergency responders. Safe rooms and secret make shift rooms, hidden for the children to seek cover.
If your budget doesn't allow you build a safe room, just a ground floor closet with cinder blocks stacked on the inside around the walls, or iron plates install at least 4 ft. high is an option. Considering you never want to be above the line of "fire zone", anyhow.
You never want to build or construct a safe room upstairs, first off if the threat is stray rapid gun fire entering the house, last thing you want to do is gather your loved ones and dog and run up the stairs, in the "field of fire zone". You should teach your children to dive on the floor, get low as possible, in such events. Rather it be at school, Walmart, church on Sunday or at home, they must learn to get on the floor quickly when they hear gun fire. The safe room must always be around where the family is majority of time when they are home, ground floor, easy, quick access from the living room and kitchen preferred. Be aware of natural protective appliances in the home that can serve as a shield, such as clothes washer and dryers, refrigerators, washer machine, etc. When bullets are flying, you must get low and dig in deep to whatever shield of protection is available. Even if you are not able to hide behind a clothes washer or dryer, just simply getting behind the wall that is directly behind them, can still serve as a shield. If the gun fire is coming from the street in front of the house.
Build your own "defender shields" that are made from a strong metal plate, strong enough to repel multiple rounds of ammo. Build them big enough to cover the front of the body 3X4, 4x5, from a kneeling position, , have one for each family member. Have them strategically placed for quick access if ever needed in an emergency. Panic room / safe room is good storage place, but when an emergency happens and you're in the restroom, you may need it then already.
Keeping them parallel with the street out front is wise, since if there ever is a threat of stray gun fire entering the house, more protective shields up the better. Of course no one will want to set them up side by side in the living room, to be a protective barrier, but for all possible extremities, it would be the wisest location for them. Have guns strategically placed in the home, when you come home from work or from being out all day, it is always smart to do a "sweep" of your home for detection of intruders. It's not paranoia it's smart. Most people will be attacked first 5 ft. of their home upon entrance. But just in case, don't think your house is clear just because you don't see any signs of forced entrance.
- TACTICS -
{Target Indicators }
Are as follows :
+ REFLECTIONS + MOVEMENT + SOUND + SHADOWS
A hand gun or stun gun and a defender shield be present when doing a sweep of your home.
Slicing the pie method, should be used, a low center of gravity stance, never just walk around corners, peek around the corner from back as far as possible.
*Use of reflections - Strategically placed mirrors and glass picture frames in the hallway by the corners, to help assist you seeing around corners. If in the kitchen and you don't have any, use drinking glasses sitting around the house if any to assist with visual, anything that can produce a reflection should be looked at.
*Movement around the house should be strategically planned as well, have easy pull out barriers, such as furniture and use of drop nets in the hallways to serve as barriers. Trip wire, cords, ropes, for the purpose of creating a barrier between you and the attacker(s).
^Picture above ( Caltrop spikes )
Quick and easy access to caltrop spikes, if you are pursued up a flight of stairs, throwing caltrop spikes in the stairway will slow them down. Caltrop spikes will go through tactical boots, most shoes. It will stop their advance, while they are trying to avoid them, it will provide you the lapse of time needed to retaliate or escape. Even used in the hallways will stop them as well. Caltrop spikes should cover an area of at least 10-12 ft. so no one is able to simply jump over them.
Use of pepper spray, bright lights, stun guns, should be included in fallback plans, used in collusion with your movement.
Use of pepper spray, bright lights, stun guns, should be included in fallback plans, used in collusion with your movement.
Always have a evacuation route as well as a Plan B. Just in case you're not able to escape the premises.
*Sound - The use of sirens and loud alarm noises, has it's advantages, not just as a defense but as a offense as well, if they can't hear your movement throughout the house, they are blind as far as where you are at, being compared to a silent house.
*Shadows - The use of shadows, in a defensive situation is better than them being able to locate and aim for you. Creating dark places in your fallback plans, where you disable lights and switches, to shield your cover, should be used.
Always remember fire prevention is also critical, fire extinguishers, should always be available, in all the stand-offs in the past, where Patriots and Groups have been involved with Law Enforcement or the Federal Government. The people who are in the stand-offs always get burned alive, when their houses or compounds mysteriously catch fire.
