Lethal Protection Advice

 

 

I’ve already stated my position:

 

“If someone unexpected shows up at your protected home address, it could be a wise precaution to be prepared to defend your life, home, possessions, and loved ones … just in case! That’s the subject of a major “can of worms” that varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction and the subject of another book. I will never write such a book but there are many good ones for you to discover.

 

OK … One prolific author you might want to check out is Massad Ayoob:

I’ll add some sage comments:

 

It is far wiser to avoid situations that place your life or your loved ones lives in jeopardy then to find yourself having to defend your life, home, possessions, or loved ones needlessly:

 

Use a protected business mailing address not registered to your Given Name

 

Don’t receive mail or any other delivery to your protected home address

 

Stop functioning in life as a person and work instead as a respected businessperson

 

Create alternate business identities to use in daily life with backups to step into if needed

 

Never enter a bad neighborhood, or any building, or place of business, or house, if your instinct is to NOT do so

 

If someone tries to pick a fight, apologize and leave … avoid confrontation if possible

 

Be a NICE and POSITIVE person … they attract other Nice and Positive people. Have you ever noticed violent or mean people repulse everyone? … Don’t be repulsive yourself!

 

Lethal protection is often taken from an unskilled or uncertain owner by a skilled and determined bad person and used against them. Three out of five civilian gunshot victims are actually shot with their own gun.

 

Civilian gunfights happen because of two dynamics, which are escalated arguments and ambushes. Never escalate an argument … Sage advice anytime and anywhere.

 

That still leaves ambush and you can’t be ambushed if you are disappeared or invisible to all senses. A gun does not make you invincible and may get you into serious trouble. This is especially so if you rely on a gun for protection rather than avoidance of violence first. Avoid conflict if possible because a gunfight is the last thing you ever want.

 

In real gunfights, the winner is usually he who hits first and that is rarely the first shot fired. You never want to get into a gunfight and never want to be shot … Period!

 

 

There are other liabilities.

 

For example, I once discovered a burglary at my parent’s home while they were on vacation (I wonder who knew they were gone?). A window was broken as the point of entry and the only things taken were some jewelry and a revolver my father kept clipped to the side of the bed. Fortunately, my mother had most of her jewelry with her.

 

However, there was an illegally obtained firearm in the hands of a burglar criminal… Who knows what happened with that weapon in the future days and years?
