A Resolution: Fortify Your Castle
There are a lot of things to think about when it comes to defending your home. Selecting the proper equipment is one of those things. Dave Maas, over at the North American Hunting Club, offers some useful thoughts regarding his selection.
I would like to add an amplifying comment to one of the issues in Maas' article. Nobody should be foolish enough to think that they can hide a gun from children that may be running around in their home; THEY WILL FIND IT! And they will probably find it when there is no adult around to supervise the discovery.
If you have kids, all gun(s) need to be securely locked up until you are confident that every person in the home is qualified to handle them safely. Safety education for the entire family should be a priority item early on. The good news is that it is easy to find a solution these days.
In his article, Maas describes how he dealt with these issues in his own situation.
Have a safe New Year!
