Tips for Keeping Your Home Safe

[@JasonVladimir]

Having like minded neighbors is always a force multiplier as well.

[@jeff2545mp]

My neighbor and I have set up intersecting fields of fire with range cards.

[@philreynolds7216]

Retired firefighter/paramedic here. Plely,ase make sure your smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, and home first aid kits are up to speed, have fresh batteries, and are fully stocked. Check with your local public safety agencies and see if they offer any classes on how to use it and where to store it. Quick class: Replace your smoke detector batteries every time you change the clock, and replace the whole device every 10 years. Mount a fire extinguisher *on the path of egress* from an area where a fire might occur (you don’t want to have to get past the fire on your stove to get to your extinguisher, you want to be on your way to fresh air, grab the extinguisher, and fight fire with safety behind you so you can still get to safety should the extinguisher fail to control the fire. Finally, store a large extinguisher near your front and back doors; fires that happen outside tend to be larger, and if you grab something to go help your neighbor, you want to bring a heavy hitter.

[@smokysantana]

You left out possibly the most important thing. Always sleep with all bedroom doors closed. I have found occupants dead from smoke inhalation although they were very distant from a kitchen fire. Securely closed doors also prevent fire extending to those rooms for a significant time.

[@99cobra2881]

Flip those fire extinguishers over yearly and whack the bottom with a rubber mallett, the retardant can crust and cause the extiguisher to malfunction. You wont know until you need it.

Never miss an opportunity to be Batman. Truer words… I was driving to an after-hours call at a datacenter and see a van broken down and between the very old and very young nobody in it was in a position to do much. I got to push a van 8 blocks and be late to my work call. It’s not always glamorous - but you’ve got a responsibility to help those who are less able to help themselves.

[@DigitalNeb]

Good shit. Ya know Pat, I read your books about eight years ago, and I made the decision to become a sentinel for my family. I accepted that I couldn't count on anyone else to keep us safe, and also that I was not in any shape to keep my family safe either. I've been working my ass off since then, and I've come a long LONG way. Thank you for the wake up call. Cheers from Florida.

[@warweaponx6629]

Don’t forget the importance mans best friend plays in your home security prep. We have 2 GSDs and they will alert me and defend against an intruder that has breached my perimeter long before my cameras pick it up.

[@randlecarr3257]

Absolutely

[@EMC_ADVENTURES]

As Pat says, they don't have to be vicious, just vociferous.

[@hiramhaji7813]

I used to have bulldogs, I got rid of them and bought Jack Russell terriers and absolutely nothing gets by them. As a matter of fact I have one that will patrol the entire house all night and sit in a window watching and has no problem waking me up

[@Theire1]

Paw Patrol!

[@gephrygeph6480]

All salient points. First line of defense for me is also my cameras, then 911 then my handgun and/or AR pistol. That said, I have also installed a door armor kit on my front door and security film on the window next to my door. One great point you brought up was the areas of the house to consider if/when you engage a target; what is your backstop and what is beyond? This is a rule I think many forget or don't consider. And yes, always be a good neighbor and be ready to deploy your Batman tools when necessary! Thanks for all the great advice.

[@matthiasthulman4058]

What is your backstop? That is a great point that I'd say the vast majority do not think about. I know a guy that has a 308 battle rifle as his home defense tool and he honestly believes that it's not a big deal. If you live in the country on a homestead or something, absolutely, blast away. If you love in an HOA situation where the neighbors are close enough to smell their cooking from inside your house, well, 308 might be a bit much brother. Lol

This is the problem when you assume everything could be a threat.

[@steve6548]

Every defense firearm must have a weapon mounted light. I know of one such case. Father shot his son who entered the house early am. Father shot the son, it was dark, no lights on. Mistook his son for a robber.

[@soonerfrac4611]

Soldier I served with as both a reservist and mobilized on active duty got into two nearly identical home defense shootings approximately 2 years apart. Shortly after 9/11 he was at home on the weekend and heard a loud banging at his off post apartment door, looking through the peep hole it’s nobody he recognized so he tells him to get away. Dude outside is screaming about something but is drunk and belligerent. Wife is on the phone with the cops as dude breaks down the door & my guy tells him to leave or he will shoot. Commands are issued to leave but drunk charges at the off duty MP so he 10 rings him one time with an 92FS. Guy successfully passes the room temperature challenge. Turns out the apartment is first floor and was the same apartment but the wrong building as the drunks own apartment. Seen a man in “his apartment” with “his wife” and crashed the door. Turned out this guy was a very well liked E-5 from an artillery unit that was working with us on gate duty. We ended up having to remove his battery from working the gates because of the animosity they had towards us afterwards. I did say this happened twice? The troop was originally in the reserves in my unit and the impetus for him to switch to active duty was a very similar situation at his old apartment complex 90 miles away.

[@soonerfrac4611]

@ Ben Wiele This is also why so many people that don’t immediately think threat are taken by surprise. 🐑

[@2K9s]

Acquire and identify the threat(s). Be cognizant of all medications and how they’ll effect you, especially combined with sleep or waking suddenly from sleeping. Take a moment to gather yourself before making a decision.

Love this channel I just found you today! Subscribed and watching all your videos!

[@pimptasticone]

We had a situation here in VA several years back where a kid in HS had been out at a party after curfew and was locked out of what he thought was his dad’s house. His parents were split and he lived with his mom so this neighborhood wasn’t his normal one. He broke into the rear of the wrong house trying to sneak back in. The homeowner stopped him inside at the stairs up the bedrooms at gunpoint and the kid pushed past him. The homeowner shot and killed him to protect his kids and wife upstairs. It was ruled a justified shoot but the guy was despondent. Apparently a firefighter and he had spent his life helping people. As I understand it, he met with the parents of the kid he killed and their forgiveness did little to help him deal with it. Something to keep in mind about the mental toll defending your family could take.

[@Santos01870]

It’s an unfortunate situation but it is justified. Me breaking into someone’s house naked at mine and brushing myself past the owner I deserve to get shot. I think your statement should’ve said reevaluate your surroundings don’t just act think about it. I understand people make mistakes but there’s something called verification

[@tylerdurden1923]

[@zackiinu7194]

Great info. 👍. Here’s my 2 cents: ▪️Watch what you put out on trash day because thugs know when your trash day is and they watch what you put out there (e.g., empty boxes for new computers, power tools, etc.). ▪️Keep your garage doors closed. No one needs to know what you have. ▪️Teach your family to keep the door leading from the garage to inside the house locked when not in use. ▪️Garages are easy to break into. Keep a camera or baby monitor camera in the garage and always verify via a monitor that no one is inside before going into the garage. ▪️High-strung toy breed dogs, like Pomeranians, make excellent watch dogs, but you gotta keep them inside the house. ▪️Cameras and monitors for live surveillance are good, but recordings can get you jammed up in court. Same thing with alarm systems that auto-dial the police. I prefer just live-monitoring capability. ▪️If you’re concerned about getting your stuff back after a burglary, chances are not very good. Better to beef up your homeowner’s policy or to keep irreplaceable items in a safe. ▪️I use Guardline motion sensors around the perimeter of my property. The system immediately sounds an alarm whenever someone steps foot on my property. Before going to bed I turn on the strobe light feature so would-be intruders know they have activated my alarm system before they even get close to my house. ▪️If you have a sliding glass door or any glass front door, apply 3M clear security film (8 mil). If they want in, they’re going to get in. You just want to hear them and slow them down a bit before greeting them accordingly.

I know it sounds kind of crazy, but when I walk into an empty house after being gone for a while, I also smell the air. If someone is 'jacked up' on something and set on doing something bad, I have to believe they will be putting off some scent I'm not accustomed to smelling.

[@358life6]

This is great I was talking to a neighbour a while ago who had their house burgled, they were told by the police the gangs wait at the supermarket for posh looking cars and then follow them home. They then wait, watch for the best time to go in. This time they had a range rover the gang used the rover to carry away all their stuff. I spoke to him about a week after this happened and he said the police also said that the gangs wait for a while till the insurance has replaced everything and they come back. They came back two weeks later and emptied the place again. I think biggie said never let them know how much dough you hold. One of the ten crack commandments. We have nice stuff too but you wouldn't follow our car home. Anyway you have a good channel fella and great advice a bit like biggie 🙏🙏🙏

[@vettepilot427]

I like to provide some "external clues" that someone should really try another house. We have "beware of dog" sign as well as "protected by" security signs. Next, all external doors (with the exception of the front door) are solid doors with deadbolts. No way to smash out the glass and unlock from the inside. Motion sensing exterior cameras and lights that are inaccessible without a ladder. No posting to social media about being away from home until we return. We have a trusted family member that checks mail and packages while we're away and also turns on different lights during each visit to the house. As a final warning, I have a few old paper B-27 targets with my better groups tacked up on the walls of the garage. Someone entering the house through the garage has to see those first. Very effective for folks like repairmen or other outsiders that must access the house but may report back to nefarious types. Great content as always!!

[@Natedoc808]

I would discourage advertising firearm ownership/enthusiasm, guns are valuable and a great target for thieves; might as well put up a sign that says “precious metal stored here.” If you live in a neighborhood, it’s easy enough for someone to stakeout your home, learn your patterns and give them plenty of time to cut into your safe while you’re gone (easier than you may think) and take those beautiful tools that made those great groups

[@vettepilot427]

@@Natedoc808 I get your point, that's why I don't have any brand or "gun culture" stickers on my vehicles or hard cases. The targets (there are 2) aren't visible unless you're actually IN the garage and just serve as subtle reminder that the occupants of the house are proficient in the use of firearms. Thankfully, I live out in the sticks with awesome and like-minded neighbors. It's assumed that EVERYONE has guns where I live. I often work from home, so we all try very hard to avoid patterns although it's impossible to eliminate them completely, especially if you have kids. I agree with you about the vulnerability of most consumer gun safes, which is why I don't use them.

You tha man. My family and I have had a plan in place for numerous situations for quite some time now. We live in an area in AK that police cannot be depended on for a timely response. We also live near others that are like minded and willing to help each other. Cameras are great, ability to record upon motion activation and send an instant notification to your phone is amazing, levels the playing field a little when it comes to responding to an intruder who would have otherwise gone unnoticed.

[@hankhill9780]

Also good to put in a cinder block flower bed 3 ft high in front of every window. Fill them with sand except for the top 6 inches. You're house is now bullet proof in front of every window when crouching.

[@mikebussart2575]

Very useful info as always.

[@vitaly6312]

I love Pat Mac and this is all valuable and reasonable advice, but I’d like a bit more on actually securing your home. Cameras are wonderful, combat parking is a must, not making it look enticing is another one. But a few things can help prevent it as well. Kicking in a door is easy, and picking a lock is not a phd level skill. Put long strike plates and long screws on your door! That’s a $1-$50 task that will make your door much harder to kick in. Having a $10 door reinforcement lock (on Amazon) will greatly improve your security while you’re home. Make sure you have one on every swinging door that goes to the outside. LOCK YOUR DOORS ALWAYS. Having a dog is incredibly valuable as well. The alert gives you time and time buys you options to call, get awake, and arm yourself. An ounce of prevention is worth at least 115gr of cure, and probably much more.

[@chrisrosado215]

Everything you have here. And... LOL... I must be a tool, b/c I did not realize backing into parking was termed 'combat parking'. Learned it as a MP in the military, then when I got out, it's just easier to park the truck. I think someone else mentioned this, but when I worked in Midland/Odessa, those oil fields required us to 'combat park' for safety purposes. Thanks for the comment brother, you def got me thi king more about my situation. 🤜🤛

A good perimeter fence with locked gate. In some states it’s not trespassing if gate is not locked, and law enforcement cannot cross without warrant or emergency. If you can’t afford the 8 foot chain link with 3 strand wire at top, and auto gate. I’ve got you covered, cactus fence. I seen it in Old Mexico with prickly pear, but have used it as far North as Mt Blanka Colorado with Walking stick cactus. Animals have know cactus millions of years longer than barbed wire, and if any one crosses anywhere other then your gate, or if you chase someone off property, they will have some cactus stuck too them. Moving the free cactus to the perimeter clear up the yard nice also. Water it one time, and it will paint itself every year with beautiful flowers, brother.
