You are the weapon

The world of self defense is violent by nature; no sport martial art here. If a person is really attacking you and you have to defend your self at that point it's not some game. Your existence could quite possibly hang in the end result of precisely what you will conduct to take out your assailant. To that conclusion, numerous martial arts never train with weapons or weapons disarms. If you are actually in amongst these arts you may perhaps choose to get some outside assistance to gain the abilities in order to defend yourself from commonplace weapons which can possibly be used against you on the street. These fall into three classifications, generally speaking: firearms, knives, and sticks (clubs or baseball bats). The following is simply the quick list of strategy for each.



Guns: you close the gap between you and them so that the reaction time from attack to pull the trigger is in your favor. You see, with respect to the aggressor to pull the trigger he: first must recognize he is certainly under attack. Second this individual must pinpoint precisely where you are going (path). Third he must understand where he or she is; that is, exactly where the firearm is actually pointed plus his or her physical position. Next this individual must figure out what program to put into play. At this moment is precisely where he/she might conclude they have to turn left, raise the firearm a lot higher, and fire. Finally he/she has to implement the program. This all requires mental time and through closing the distance you have indeed reduced their successful response time down as well as in to your favor.



 Blades and sticks ... you want to open the gap from your attacker. You want these people to make a long distance and also committed attack towards you. This brings you in a favorable position as they must move a long way to get you. You have the time to view the attack, choose what to do and execute the plan. You likewise reduce their response time down as you close in to disarm or attack. Just like in the firearm situation you have indeed shortened their perception along with reaction time.



Also critical in self defence that you do not play around. You need to disable your adversary so that they can not come back to harm you. What I mean right here is you do not want them coming back up off the ground and being rather psychotic at you. You must ensure they don't want to go on with the violence.



If you learn to disarm weapons you ought to also study ways to employ that weapon if necessary. You might learn how to shoot or at least how you might use that weapon to your benefit. There is a weapon known as a defender (self defense weapon) which is a small plastic, oddly shaped, weapon which is utilized on pressure points. You can view this at PDWS. biz. You can use most anything you pick up like a defender and that includes a firearm. A gun can be used on pressure points about the body as well as against boney places of the body, just like a defender or even a Kubotan.



In conclusion, you're the weapon and anything that gets into your hands you need to realize how to make use of it. Gun, knife or sticks ... you must know how to use them for your own protection or the protection of your loved ones. There are great videos to had on these subjects, all found on the web. So I encourage my fellow artists to broaden their skill sets in martial arts and turn them into self defense skill sets too!

Protect Your Home Review
from Home Security and Self Defense-Protection against Domestic ... by admin

Phone: 888-364-1637

When it comes to home security vendors, you need to choose one that’s reliable and that uses quality home security systems. While there are many vendors out there who’ll sell you a discount system, do you really want to take the risk that it will fail just when you need it?

That’s one of the compelling arguments for choosing Protect Your Home. This particular home security company has a distinct advantage in the areas of reliability and quality.

Built on proven ADT technology

The security systems used by Protect Your Home are built by ADT. ADT has a proven track record for more than a century of keeping families, homes, and businesses safe and secure. ADT uses some of the most advanced technology to keep an eye on your home, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Using ADT equipment means advanced security system options such as mobile remote control, and even remote video viewing of your home security cameras.

Is Protect Your Home better than any other ADT dealer?

Protect Your Home doesn’t only deal in ADT systems, they are the number one ADT dealer in the country. That means they have significant experience and expertise in getting your home security systems installed.

It also means they’re experts at identifying just what you might need in a security system. They’ll help design the system that gives you the right coverage for your home.

Protect Your Home pricing

Cost is an important consideration in choosing your home security system, of course. Like other home security services, Protect Your Home offers a significant discount on your purchase of equipment when you sign up for a monthly service plan.

The basic plan from Protect Your Home includes the following ADT equipment:

    * Premium digital touchpad. This touchpad has an LCD display. It offers a chime to let you know when doors or windows are being used. It has a bypass system, one-touch communication with emergency dispatch, and two-way communication with the security central station.
    * A wireless keychain remote control. This lets you disarm or arm your system remotely. It also includes a panic button, alerting others to trouble.
    * Two door and window sensors. You’ll probably need to add more sensors, and these will come at an additional cost.
    * Motion detector. This motion detector uses infrared technology, and it’s built to be sensitive to pets – thereby reducing false alarms.
    * Indoor siren. The indoor sounder notifies you of an intrusion.
    * Yard sign and decals for your windows. These will often be enough to deter would-be criminals.
    * Power supply and 24-hour battery. This means your home is protected even when the power goes out.

The entire package is free; you pay $99 for installation, and you have to sign up for monitoring, which runs around $35 per month – like most other services.

The right choice for reliability

Protect Your Home is probably one of the best companies to go through to get a high-quality ADT system. Pricing is comparable to other security system vendors, and they have a decent reputation for service, too. If you’re looking at an ADT system, look into Protect Your Home.

Back To Basics

I ran across this article and it fits with the core of this blog. Home Self Defence or defense depending where you are is very important and we need to start embracing the problem. Home invasion is an ugly topic but we need to prepare!  I hope you enjoy...

Back To Basics:

From Start To Finish

“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages, at first the infant, mewling and puking in the nurses arms. And then the whining school-boy, with his satchel and shining morning face, creeping like snail unwillingly to school. And then the lover, sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad made to his mistress’ eyebrow. Then a soldier, full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard, jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel, seeking the bubble reputation even in the cannon’s mouth. And then the justice, in fair round belly with good capon lined, with eyes severe and beard of formal cut, full of wise saws and modern instances; and so he plays his part. The sixth age shifts into the lean and slipper’d pantaloons, with spectacles on nose and pouch on side, his youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide for his shrunk shank; and his big manly voice, turning again toward childish treble, pipes and whistles in his sound. Last scene of all, that ends this strange eventful history is second childishness and mere oblivion, sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.”

So spoke William Shakespeare in As You Like It, written in the 16th century. I don’t know if any students still read Shakespeare, however I was in stage two, the “whining schoolboy” when I encountered Shakespeare in the 8th and 9th grade. As I recall I didn’t understand much of it but this passage hit me from the very beginning, and even though it was way back in 1952, I still recall, it vividly, and thought at the time Shakespeare is a pretty wise old fellow. Seven ages most of us follow: baby, youth, young lover, invincibility, wisdom, old age, and then right back to the helplessness stage we endured as a young baby. It wasn’t hard for me to look around at my extended family and see someone in every act, and I don’t like to even contemplate the act I am now in.

Shooters also spend their time on a stage as it were following through many acts. In fact, in many cases, certainly mine I have gone through acts/stages/ages of sixgunning with some overlapping. Usually, the best place to begin a journey is at the beginning, and the beginning of shooting, the place to learn all the basics, is a .22. It was 1956 and Act I was about to begin.

My first choice was a Marlin 39A, the Mountie which was then followed very quickly by a Ruger Single-Six which is now known to collectors as the Flat-Gate.

I’ve received a lot of pleasure from a lot of guns over the years but nothing has ever superseded these two .22s. I wouldn’t even try to count the number of rounds down the barrels of these two. Not only did I learn to shoot with it, so did Diamond Dot, the three kids, the grandkids, two of their spouses, and even girlfriends and boyfriends along the way. The .22 is simply the best place to start and we can learn everything about shooting without having to consider recoil. With a .22 shooting is as much fun as it should be and the cost is minimal. My infancy, unlike Shakespeare’s baby was not spent in a nurse’s arms, but rather lovingly clutching a .22 Levergun and sixgun.

Act II found me discovering big-bore sixguns. First came a 1900-ish 4-3/4″ Colt Single Action .38-40 which was soon followed by a very early Second Generation Colt .45 with a 7-1/2″ barrel. I could not afford to shoot either one of them very much, so the next scene in this act found me with a Ruger .357 Blackhawk and a S&W .357 Highway Patrolman. It was very difficult to find .357 brass in those days, however .38 Special cases where not only easy to find they were quite inexpensive.

The purchase of a Lyman mold which dropped Elmer Keith’s 358429 classic bullet design at 173 grains put me in business. I was not real smart in those days and loaded all of my .38s to the hilt with the Keith load. This resulted in .38s which were hotter than much .357 Magnum factory ammunition offered today. My progress would probably have been faster if at least some of those were standard .38 Special loads.

Act III found me with .44 Specials and .45 Colts. By now I was reloading enough I could afford to shoot my .45, however I made the same mistake with the .44 Specials I’d made with those first .38 Special loads; everything was loaded “Keith-style” with a 260-grain bullet at 1,150 to 1,200 fps which hampered my learning even more than the hot .38 Specials. Even the .45s received heavy treatment with 260s over 10.0 grains of Unique or 18.5 grains of 2400. I had a great time with those heavy loads in the .44 and .45, however I missed an awful lot of fun shooting and slowed down my learning time.

Going all the way back to 1949, the original Ruger .22 is

still a good starter or finisher.

Magnum Era

Act IV found me in my Magnum Era. By now, I had not only discovered the excellent Lyman/Thompson 358156GC bullet it also it had become increasingly easier to locate .357 Magnum brass. That gas-checked bullet minimized leading allowing hard cast bullets to be driven over 1,500 fps. The nice thing about the .357 Magnum is its relative lack of recoil in full-size sixguns. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for the .44 Magnum.

My first .44 Magnum was an original 6-1/2″ Ruger Blackhawk followed in the early 1960s with a Smith & Wesson Model 29 of the same barrel length. I still have both sixguns, however they languished unused for many a year since I wasn’t smart enough to back off from full house loads. Some folks just take longer to learn than others and I missed the main positive attribute of reloading which is to custom tailor loads. There is nothing written anywhere in stone or otherwise which says we have to load everything to the max.

Act V basically covers my Really Big Bore years stretching from about mid 1980s until the turn of the century. First came the .454 Casull, followed by the .500 Linebaugh in short order. Over the years I added the .475 Linebaugh, .500 Wyoming Express, some really tough time with the .475 and .500 Linebaugh Long/Maximums and then came the arrival of the .500 and .460 Smith & Wesson Magnums. With the arrival of these really Big Bores, I learned very quickly to tailor my loads. None of these cartridges can be considered fun to shoot in their full-house loadings, however the arrival of Hodgdon’s Trail Boss powder made pleasant shooting loads a real possibility and actually makes these guns pleasurable.

By the time I arrived at Act VI, I realized Magnums do not have to always be maximized. A .44 Magnum with a 260- or 300-grain cast bullet over 10.0 grains of Unique or Universal will do right at 1,150 fps; this is a powerful but relatively pleasant shooting load plus the extra added bonus is you can get twice as many rounds from a can of powder. Act VII, where I spend most of my time these years is back to the .44 Special and .45 Colt. However, by now I’ve learned. The .44 Special is mostly loaded with a 260-grain bullet over 7.5 grains of Unique or Universal, or 8.0 grains of Power Pistol. With the .45 Colt it is a 260- or 270-grain bullet mostly over 8.0 grains of either Unique or Universal. All of these loads are in the 900 to 1,000 fps range and adequately powerful while remaining relatively low in felt recoil.

It’s been a long stage play, however I have learned much along the way. Shakespeare puts his actor back at the beginning. While I am not in as bad a shape as his main character (yet), I do find myself spending much more time with the basics—the basic .22 that is. Actually my shooting life these days is pretty much a mixture of several of the Sixgunning Acts. Early this month I spent four days shooting 1,000 rounds of .45 Auto Rim, and later this week I will start the same process with some .44 Specials.

However, the basic .22 is once again King. I spent much of last winter looking for older 3-Screw Ruger Single-Sixes and Super Single-Sixes. I not only wanted to make sure I have enough on hand for everyone in the family to have their own, I simply wanted to enjoy the pure pleasure of shooting them myself. Ten days were spent doing nothing but shooting .22s and although it is a very trite phrase, it really doesn’t get any better than this. I have come home.

Girl, boyfriend charged with killing her parents; bodies found in shallow graves in Norwalk, Long Beach

Yet here is another home invasion.. this time one victim at a time. One at home and the other one when they came home. Rules of engagement should be worked on, plans made, and home self defence training set up...

Master Peter Brusso

Girl, boyfriend charged with killing her parents; bodies found in shallow graves in Norwalk, Long Beach: From the Associated Press:

A teenage couple from Compton have been charged with killing the girl's parents and burying them in shallow graves in Norwalk and Long Beach.
Los Angeles County prosecutors say 15-year-old girl Cynthia Alvarez and 16-year-old Giovanni Gallardo were charged Friday as adults with counts of murder with special circumstances.
They're jailed and face life in prison if convicted.
Prosecutors say they killed the girl's mother, 58-year-old Gloria Villalta, last week in her Compton home, hid the body and then stabbed and beat her stepfather with a bat when 51-year-old Jose Lara came home.
The mother was found buried Saturday in vacant lot in Norwalk. Lara was uncovered Thursday in Long Beach.
Prosecutors say the killings were prompted by friction between the girl and her parents, partly over her relationship with Gallardo.

Coroner rules Walnut man's death a homicide

Ok people.. there are becoming so many of these its not funny. I have been writing, blogging, and talking up a storm on this trend of home invasion.

Coroner rules Walnut man's death a homicide: WALNUT -- A man found fatally stabbed at his Walnut home Wednesday, where his estranged wife was also found stabbed and badly wounded, was killed, coroner's officials said.
George Mora, 47, died from stab wounds and an autopsy ruled the death to be a homicide, Los Angeles County Coroner's officials said.
Sheriff's investigators have said they're still investigating what took place between the couple at the home in the 21600 block of Brookside Court, and it was unclear who may have been the aggressor in the domestic attack.
As of Friday, detectives had not been able to speak with the injured woman, 43-year-old Socorra Mora, due to her medical condition, Lt. Matt Burson of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Homicide Bureau said.
It remained unclear Saturday how Socorra Mora suffered her stab wounds.

Off-duty deputy shoots burglary suspects in Cerritos

This isn't the first time I have heard of tented house robberies but this is a wonderful outcome! A bit off topic but still a house invasion story. It turns out, and I didn't know this before, that when you tent a house you have to put the address up on the web showing the public that there is poison being used at a particular address and stay away. Well, crooks know where to look for these addresses and go put on a mask then help themselves to your stuff. Brilliant, so if you have your house tented, best to camp out on the property, if possible, and protect your home. Home self defence comes with a price tag. I hope you enjoy this article...

The massive power outage in San Diego County

As we saw this last week in Southern California most of San Diego County was without power for more than 12 hours. No house alarms would function, no ATM machines would perform, and if you desired to get anything such as water or ice you had to pay in money, cold hard cash that was it. This is the worst time to have to prepare for a disaster, that is when you're in the middle of a disaster. Equally genuine is your self-defense and/or the weapons that you might use for your self-defense, now is the worst time to figure out you don't have any and you need some.

House invasion is even more likely in the course of a organic disaster than ever prior to. If you have some thing of worth, this kind of as food and water, and others don't have it, we'll guess who's coming to dinner. I listen to a key radio station located in San Diego and they broadcast reside with no commercial interruptions during the power failure. Folks had been calling in, mostly on their land lines visible seemed to work, and told their power outage stories.

Many of the stories had been of course lack of preparedness for a disaster, such as dead flashlight batteries and even in some instances no way to open canned foods due to the fact they had electric can openers. I guess I never knew that you could take a hefty knife and gradually open a can but then once again I'm a survivalist. We lost our electrical power way out in Palm Springs, Indio, Palm Desert, at the worst time achievable in the middle of the day of a massive heat wave. Luckily, a extremely little community out around the Salton Sea had power when no 1 else did. Even in some areas in San Diego they had been suggesting you boil your water as they are with the chance of sewage contamination.

If you feel about a natural disaster, a energy outage doesn't generally come to thoughts but its criminals delight as alarms don't operate in the police are rather busy. Residence invasions grow to be far more practical for the criminals in natural disasters. such as we saw this week in San Diego. Not only do you want to worry about how you're going to defend your property, your family, your loved ones, but you also need to be concerned about how you're going to feed them. In a residence invasion are usually not a organic disaster and for that reason your sole objective is to repel the attack through individual defence weapons. In a normal disaster you got to find out to survive and also to safeguard your food stocks and your residence. It compounds the problem dramatically.

So if we can take a lesson from San Diego and that is to be ready for a natural disaster and also, now is the time, to take your residence invasion plans and place them in action. You need to have a self-defense weapon or several as I talk about just before, prepared to go before you actually need to have them (self defence item). Now is the time to seriously consider how you would deal with a organic disaster and a home invasion at the very same time. Do not wait for the natural disaster to hit you or your property to be invaded, put your home self defence plans in action nowadays.

Harbor Officers Attacked by Man Wielding a Cane

Now... this is very interesting as it shows us the need to have multiple weapons for our home self defence! As many of use look at the taser for a possible self defence item in our mix of home self defence weapons, you can see from the professionals here that they carry a mix of weapons, from less than lethal to lethal. So consider this article when you are thinking of your personal defence weapons choices.

Master Peter Brusso

Harbor Officers Attacked by Man Wielding a Cane:

Los Angeles: Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) patrol officers from Harbor Area were attacked by a suspect armed with a broken cane.

On August 25, 2011, just after 11:10 p.m., Harbor Area Officers responded to a radio call of a “Screaming Man’ in 100 Block of West D Street in Wilmington. When they arrived, they heard screaming coming from the rear of an apartment building. As the officers walked around to the rear of the building, they saw a man who was screaming and breaking the windows of a two- story apartment.

The officers immediately requested back up and proceeded to the apartment. Once inside, they were confronted with a man armed with a cane that had been broken at the hook and had a very sharp edge. The officers ordered the suspect to drop the sharp cane, but did not respond and instead attacked one of the officer’s by striking him repeatedly with the cane. The officers fired the TASER, which struck the suspect in the upper torso. The suspect a 30-year-old Black male, 6’ tall, 250 pounds failed to respond to the TASER and continued his attack on the officers, pinning one of the officers against the wall, while continuing to strike him with the sharp end of the cane. The partner officer at this time drew his service weapon and an officer involved shooting occurred.

The suspect went down, but still attempted to strike at the officers. The officers were able to subdue the suspect and take him into custody.

Los Angeles Fire Department personnel responded and transported the suspect to a local area hospital where he was pronounced dead.

One officer received minor injuries as a result of the incident. He was treated at the scene and released. The cane was recovered at the scene.

LAPD Harbor Area detectives are investigating the initial crime and LAPD Force Investigation Division personnel are investigating the officer involved shooting.

The investigation will ultimately be reviewed by the Chief of Police, the Office of the Inspector General and Board of Police Commissioners for compliance with the Department’s use-of-force policy which states that an officer’s use-of-force actions must be objectively reasonable.

Additionally, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Justice System Integrity Division will conduct a comprehensive review of the facts of the officer-involved shooting.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to call Harbor Area Detectives at 310-726-7906. During non-business hours or on weekends, calls should be directed to 1-877-LAPD-24-7 (877-527-3247). Anyone wishing to remain anonymous should call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (800-222-8477). Tipsters may also contact Crime Stoppers by texting to phone number 274637 (C-R-I-M-E-S on most keypads) with a cell phone. All text messages should begin with the letters “LAPD.” Tipsters may also go to LAPDOnline.org, click on "webtips" and follow the prompts.

Doing a Burglar Walk-Around

I read a lot of article looking for something worth while. This on has some good advice on home self defence as it applies to the physical side of things. One thing that it really points out is the fact of having, or rather not letting the burglars see inside your home, like window shopping. A sight barrier is always a good idea and this also means when you are home. I'm going to be doing some articles on home security systems in the very near future as they are an integral part of your home self-defense. I hope you enjoy this article.... Peter Brusso

Doing a Burglar Walk-Around:
Part of making sure that your home is safe from a home invasion is choosing a good home security system. With the right home security system installed, any potential burglar in his right mind is going to approach your home and then just move on to the next one. Burglars don’t want to have to overcome a home security system; they want to get in and get out fast.

If you want to make sure your home is fully protected, you need to think a little bit like a burglar. Take a walk around and through your home, with the following things in mind:

• Look for places to hide. Can a burglar stand on your front stoop and be hidden from the road? That’s not a good thing. Consider changing some of your landscaping around to allow for a clear view of doors and windows.
• Look for things to steal. Can burglars see into that big picture window in your living room and tell that you’ve got thousands of dollars in high-end stereo equipment? Consider moving valuables away from view, or keeping the curtains closed.
• Test your doors and windows. Are the doors and windows stable? If a burglar can easily kick your door in, a deadbolt doesn’t do you much good. Consider prying gently on your windows and doors using a screwdriver. Don’t do it too hard; you’re just feeling to see if they have any give at all. If so, identify and fix those weak spots.
• Walk down your street. Compare your house and yard with those of your neighbors. Are there things that would entice a burglar? Are there things in your neighbors’ yards that will cause the burglar to pass by? Do everything you can to make your home unattractive to a burglar (without making it unattractive overall, of course).
• Look for visible signs of your security system. While a sticker in the window that says your home is protected doesn’t necessarily keep out burglars, it doesn’t hurt. As a matter of fact, having visible security systems in place will reduce some of those crimes of opportunity. Don’t rely on fake cameras or stickers, but do make sure the burglar knows he’s being watched.

The 5 stupid issues folks do with their house self defense

With the economy as poor as it is, and getting worse every day we have seen a rise in robberies and home invasion. Its a sad factor to say that if you are lucky sufficient to keep your house were noticed much more robberies than ever prior to this day, and it doesn't appear like its going to be getting a lot far better. So let's look at the 5 stupid issues people do about their residence self defense.

The first stupid factor is to think that a house invasion or robbery won't occur to you . If you examine it, why do we obtain house insurance, or any insurance at all? It is simply because we know there's a opportunity that one thing bad will happen to us and we want to have the capacity to recover. And what I mean is a financial recovery notwithstanding an emotional recovery as well. So the very first thing you should do is choose that you will do or you will look at your residence self defense technique.

The second factor you must do is to take a look at your physical security. Do all your windows have good locks? Do your doors have dead bolts and excellent locks? Sometimes upgrading these locking devices is some of the simplest things you can do for your own house self defense.

The third thing that you need to do is get a excellent alarm system. A excellent alarm, several times saves you from home invasion or robberies, simply because the criminals know that they have a finite quantity of time when they break into your home. They understand, comprehend that the authorities will be responding in brief order; which assists, in many times, they can only grab the straightforward stuff and they can't work on discovering other items. For example; if you have a safe they may try to pull it up and take it with them, or drill into the safe and they would only do that if they had the time to do so. So an alarm can acquire for you some deterrence just since they know the clock is ticking when they break in. The other aspect about an alarm is that if there are two houses side-by-side, one with an alarm method and the other doesn't have 1, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know which one the bad guys will break into.

The fourth factor that you should do is have a house invasion or robbery response strategy. These two items are uniquely different from one another and will be a topic of an additional post. Nevertheless, a residence invasion plan basically maps out your strategy on how to repulse or manage a home invasion. At times its with weapons and other times it might be moving to a safe room in your home. Yes, I said a secure room, excellent home invasion strategies create a safe room with a really secure door and typically some kind of weapon inside. You moved to the safe room while the robbers or home invasion criminals ransack your home but at least you and your family members are secure in one room.

The fifth thing you should do is decide on what aggression level you're willing to repel a residence invasion or robbery. Particularly, do you start out with a handgun or a shotgun for long-distance discouragement and then move into close quarter weapons like machetes and knives. There is often the opportunity of having a taser, pepper spray, or a self defense weapon known as a “defender” in the mix as properly.

So in conclusion, above outlines the five stupid points individuals do or don't do for their home self defense. It is entirely up to you how and at what level you will engage the possibility of a residence invasion and/or robbery.
