Ferrari Mailing List: SECURITY ISSUES

[dale sailors (sailorsdaleedward]

Hi guys,

             Residential cameras sound good but at Eagle Pass a neighbor had video of neighbor juveniles breaking, entering and trashing his residence with clear facial footage. Police got fingerprints, etc. Their uncle was a Border Patrol supervisor with doper connections in Piedras Negras. Nothing ever happened to them or their parent. The victim was a Texas ABC agent and tried to file charges, report to Child Protective Services, etc. Nothing produced results. But karma comes around. Their welfare mother and prostitute minor sister were incestuously involved with the male juveniles. All are excellent AIDS candidates.

             For home invasion self defence, edged weapons can be excellent tools.

Try something relatively short, fairly heavy and adapted for slashing and stabbing.

Military surplus stores sell replicas of the Vietnam era tomahawk some Ranger, etc. units used. The COLD STEEL line of short handle ax, Gurkha kukuri, etc. offer excellent inexpensive items. They have a short spear copy of a Zulu original that would certainly get the attention of a thief. If you don't like edges or points, a heavy ball peen hammer will do a lot of damage.

             Practise some or get some martial arts traing. Most kung fu schools or Philippine style stick fighting clubs can train you quickly in impact or edged weapon tactics. The key is no hesitation, continuous motion, multiple hits, and once you start, don't stop till the target is done. A good example of technique

was the knife fight scene in the Steven Segall movie UNDER SIEGE. Cutting go for the adam's apple or arteries inside upper thighs.  Reaction time is all important. If you can find a copy of Bill Jordan's NO SECOND PLACE WINNER, He described what he would do if someone had the drop on him with a pistol?

He would draw his pistol and kill the perp. Jordan demonstrated numerous times that it was readily possible to draw and fire one round before the other person could react to your movement and pull their trigger. But training to act quickly and decisively is needed. When I was in charge of law enforcement on an Indian Reservation I used to train new officers to draw and fire at full silouette targets at 7 feet away to give them a feel of what the actual threat situation would feel like.

Practise at 25 and 50 yards is nice but 99% of justified shooting encounters are going to be upclose and dirty. Fighting a thief or home intruder is a zero sum game. Someone wins. Someoe loses.

           A side benefit of getting ready is developing an interest in martial arts. My weakness is Chinese feudal era swords, sabers, pole arms and exotic items lke "deer antler knives". I have been blessed with tolerant instructors in China, Hong Kong and here and have a small collection of antique items too. There are obvious health and exercise benefits too.

           Ciao!
