GET OFF MY LAWN: Suburban Defense Starts with Keeping Intruders Off Your Property

 

For all my readers out there who reside in a big city or in the sprawl of suburbia, this is a really well done primer on Defending your Castle!

If 2020 and 2021 taught us anything it is that Rioting and Civil Unrest can escalate quickly and Law Enforcement are not going to save YOU nor your PROPERTY from Destruction!

I recommend going back and watching this short video about Terrain Baptism, or familiarzing yourself with the surrounding terrain in your AO.

Remember: You have Home Field Advantage, USE IT!

Stay Alert, Armed and Dangerous!

“Layering” your Home Security Plan is a fundamentally sound concept that is easy and affordable to do on any budget!

One of the key things I always tell people is STAY ARMED 24/7, EVEN AT HOME!

Some Preparedness Activities You Should Do In The Next 30 Days

 

Very Practical Check List I can recommend to all my readers.

One thing I would add:

  • Inventory ALL Go-Bags/VBOB’s every 30 days It has been my experience these can get raided for one thing or another and need to be re-supplied. Pay special attention to batteries during the colder months. Remember: One is None, so always have spares for all your lights handy.

Avoiding the ‘Fatal Funnel’

In a recent Police shooting in Houston, one officer was killed and another wounded while serving a drug warrant.

Both officers were standing in front of an open door to an apartment when the shooting began.

Tactically speaking you want to avoid standing in front of doors, open or closed.

Open doors silhouette your profile while closed doors give your position away to the bad guy.

It may sound basic but in a bad guy’s mind they have a 50/50 shot of hitting you if they shoot through the door after you knock on it and announce yourself! Which is why even today after knocking on a  door I stand to the side of it, regardless how nice a neighborhood!

Although it is beyond the scope of this article to dive into the modern fallacies of some modern CQB  dogma, the main issue for the armed citizen to remember with the fatal funnel is the following, taken from this article:

The original meaning of the ‘fatal funnel’ was a warning to ensure that you did not pause or remain in doorways or windows. It was to prevent silhouetting yourself there. Of course, when readying to prevent a room entry, the ‘bad guy’ will naturally set up to shoot towards natural entry points. So, rather than over-defining the ‘fatal funnel’, as the video says, it is more about enemy lines of fire, corners, and avoiding silhouetting yourself there. Don’t try and define the ‘funnel ‘ geographically and over complicate it, creating a whole bunch of stylized drills based on over-complicated assumptions about the fatal funnel.

Think it Through. Prepare Accordingly.
