Are You Ready? Are You Ready?

Well, our President in all of his infinite wisdom has made a decision that has put the Taliban back in control in Kabul, Afghanistan. And, if you don't already know, the Taliban has a history of supporting Al-Qaeda, meaning we now have a heightened threat of terrorist attacks on U.S. soil: Al-Qaeda Threat.

Couple the aforementioned concern with the border crisis that our President and Vice President can't control, and is hiding from as much as they can, and we have a heightened threat to U.S. Citizens. 

I am not one to create fear to get my point across. The fact is, we face danger every day. The society we live in can be violent, and random acts of violence can happen to any of us. We can't live our lives in fear. But we CAN live our lives with the confidence in knowing that we can protect ourselves and our families. I want our readers to have the resources to be prepared, so I have put together a small library of electronic publications that will give you some knowledge on being prepared, along with some ads for some tools that will help you be better prepared, and some tips to guide you to greater confidence in your safety.

TIPS:

(1) Always carry your cell phone with you wherever you go. Make sure 911 is programmed into your speed dial.

(2) Remember that the object of surviving any self-defense situation is to get yourself and or your family safely away from the threat. When there is an opportunity to get away from the threat, GET AWAY!

(3) If you and your adult family are comfortable with getting a firearm, go to an experienced firearm dealer. He can "fit" you with a firearm. You need to have a firearm that you and your adult family is comfortable with. You need to go to the range regularly and practice, at least once a month. Remember what makes a firearm effective is NOT Size or velocity, it's BULLET PLACEMENT!

(4) Be aware of your surroundings. Before you get in your car, look in your car, the backseat, the floorboards. Before you walk in a store, look through the window glass into the store. If you notice someone strange hanging around your car, or in the same place you are at repeatedly, start taking notes: (What are they wearing?, How tall are they?, Approximate weight?, Hair Color?, Eye color?, Are they wearing any jewelry?,If they get in a vehicle, make and model, color, tag number?). Say "How are you doing" to them, so they'll know you noticed them.

(5) Trust your gut instinct, you have instincts for a reason. If you see someone approaching you, or someone hanging around your vehicle and you get an uneasy feeling, prepare for a confrontation. Get your Tactical Pen or your CapStun Fogger in you hand, just be prepared to react quickly, and effectively, with the goal of getting to a safe location and calling 911.

Hopefully, between these tips, tools and this library; you can make yourself better prepared to keep you and your family safe. The library listed above is worth at least $250.00, so hopefully you will get something of value from this post and library.
