Protecting Your Family From Home Invasion

​Keeping yourself and your family safe from a home invasion is a lot more important than owning a firearm. You need to know the correct way of using it, and the rules and laws in your city regarding possession of firearms.

​Protect Yourself From a Home Invasion
Home invasions are considered a low-probability nightmare that is difficult to predict when it will actually happen. But it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be on guard. Some people even undergo training to learn how to hold a gun properly, and how to use it effectively in case an emergency strikes in your home.

Own a Gun? Prepare to Use It
Owning a gun also comes with grave responsibilities. Unfortunately, it is not for everyone. Use a gun if you are trained to use it. You need to practice shooting it with both eyes open. Your perception should be in optimum state and your peripheral vision should be good in an actual gunfight.

Put Plants with Thorns Around Your Window
One way of protecting your family from invasion is by planting thorny bushes around your house, preferably near your window. These shrubs can serve as decoration, you can also collect DNA from the blood and skin that of the invader from these plants. The torn clothes can also serve as an evidence to identify the culprit.

Hang Chimes/Bell on the Door
Most businesses place bells and wind chimes on the door for one reason: to know when someone enters the store. This is also applicable to your home. Hang a bell that will serve as your alarm when someone sneaks in your home. The good thing with this is that it is relatively cheap. But it is still better to install real alarm system that can produce loud sound.

Make a Safe Room
There will be times when the invader has already succeeded in entering your home. The best that you can do is to hide in your safe room. Designate a place in your house that will serve as a safe room so everyone will know where to go when in crisis. Make sure that the room has a flashlight and a firearm for self-defense. 

Place Your Gun Somewhere Accessible
If you own a gun, make sure you know where you can access it in case of emergency. Keep it out of reach of children to avoid accidents. Hide it somewhere accessible, but hidden from everyone.
