<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Times;"> </span><a href="http://www.tommyclarke.com/web/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/tom-clarke-venom-tactical-tc02-knife-black.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1311" title="tom-clarke-venom-tactical-tc02-knife-black" src="http://www.tommyclarke.com/web/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/tom-clarke-venom-tactical-tc02-knife-black-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><a href="http://www.tommyclarke.com/web/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/tom-clarke-rifle-dynamics-blade-knife.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-1312" title="tom-clarke-rifle-dynamics-blade-knife" src="http://www.tommyclarke.com/web/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/tom-clarke-rifle-dynamics-blade-knife-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The sculpted knife consists of grooves on the side of the blade and a serrated edge.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The  grooves on the side of the blade are not intended for looks, but  instead they serve four purposes. The deviated, surface allows the  collection of rust, bacteria and even venom that are often found in  harsh environments. When tissue comes into contact with these pathogens  or toxins, bacterial infections and other lethal diseases will  complicate even the simplest of wounds.  Additionally, the interrupted  designed surface allows the cutting edge to function with both pushing  and pulling motions increasing efficiency. This would be the opposite of  a hacksaw that only cuts on the pulling motion and not the push.  The  serrated edge also allows cutting in both wet and dry situations. Try  cutting wet rope with a non-serrated blade; it is not easily done.  The  final purpose of the sculpted grooves is that it reduces surface  friction as it passes through the material by 35+ percent. Thus less  energy is required to produce the same damage. For those intimidated by  the design of this blade and concerned with the difficulty of  sharpening, fear not; by positioning the sharpening rod along the groove  these blades can achieve their optimum cutting edge with ease. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">ALL SAFETY RULES APPLY!</span></strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"> These drills should be performed at the RANGE or an appropriate area, do it dry, with an UNLOADED FIREARM!</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">Always abide by the four rules of gun safety:</span></strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">1.      All guns are loaded. (Treated as such)</span></strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">2.      Do not point the muzzle at anything you are not willing to destroy.</span></strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">3.      Finger off the trigger, out of the trigger guard until sights are on target.</span></strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">4.      Be sure of your target and foreground/background</span></strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">Let’s talk about <strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">Presentation from the holster</span></strong> and doing it as a Dry Practice exercise with <strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">1 EYE OPEN</span></strong>.   What the heck is this? This is the BASIC presentation, to get your  handgun from the holster to “sights” on target, AND YOU CLOSE THE  NON-DOMINATE EYE to get the 100% focus on the front sight!  OK, this  technique IS required to guarantee that “LONG” shot or a close precision  hit like a hostage takers eye socket, or just shoot a nice tight group.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">You  must learn that situations dictate the amount of precision sighting  required for a hit, is measured in distance and target size.  More about  this subject in the 2 EYE OPEN blog and the advanced Dry Practice  Programs that will teach you the difference between shooting 3 feet OR  15 yards, as an example,  3’  -   2 eyes,   15yds   -   1 eye open. You  need to learn the 1-EYE OPEN method first, then move on to more advanced  techniques.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">Everyone  at ATAC Training courses trains with semi-auto pistols, but the  firearms are carried in variety of locations. It does not matter what  type or brand of handgun you run, but you are ABSOLUTLLY NUTS if you  don’t Dry Practice with it from the location you carry it!  THIS IS THE  DRILL THAT MUST BE REPEATED OVER AND OVER UNTIL THE PRESENTATION BECOMES  A REFLEX ACTION!  THIS MIGHT SEEM BORING, BUT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT IF  YOU WANT HIGHER SKILL LEVELS.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">Understanding know and unknown distances prior to starting:</span></strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">Start  with establishing a known distance.  As you begin, or if you think you  have judging distances mastered, that doesn&#8217;t mean you DON’T NEED to  practice the basics.   Judging unknown distances is a stand-alone  exercise.  On the other hand, we will give you two methods.  There are  all types of controversy out there on one or both eyes open when  shooting.  Lets keep it simple; if you were going to push a thread  through a needle you would shut one eye.  Yes, we shoot with both eyes  open and the conditions and distances will dictate using a dominant eye  only or both eyes open.  Lets move forward and give you a simple  solution.  From 7 yards and in you can get away with hitting &#8220;close  enough&#8221; to your intended point of impact.  But, it will only be close to  rather than the exact intended point of impact.  (As you read further  down, between steps 3 - 4 you need to learn to shift your focus.) For  those of you that think you only need to shoot with both eyes open, here  is a question for you.  If you were held by the neck as a hostage and  the hostage taker only exposed one eye every few seconds. Would you tell  the cop, SWAT, or XXXX to, &#8220;use both eyes, it is faster, just shoot it  is not a precision shot&#8221;. I doubt it, your exposed to all types of  errors which could be fatal.  The point is, at any distance you need to  guarantee the hit, not hope for the hit.  Yes, you may think this is  advanced; no it is the basic fundamentals. This is not an range drill  trying to hit a big steel plate; you are trying to ht a quarter over and  over.  Then be able to pick up the pace.  As you excel in your skills,  you need to ALWAYS give yourself a refresher course on distancing while  shifting your focus from the target to the top of the front sight post.   After time you will develop a natural point of aim, which will ONLY  last as long as your continuing education does.  So lets dry practice at  7 yards with one eye for now.  You can go to the next stage of both  eyes open after you have performed at least 1,000- 2,000 dry  presentations.  In our advanced programs we explain in great detail with  video of what happens as you back up and forget to close that eye.  It a  tactical environment, you may have to keep both eyes open to have a  wider field of view.  But before you go off and start point shooting,  get the basics down.  It is a safe number to say if you have 10,000  rounds through your pistol and 2 - 3 times as much dry practice, then  you can move on to more advanced tactics with both eyes open.  In the  end, regardless of how much you have trained just remember, if it is a  precision shot, use your dominant eye only!  You may only get that one  shot.</span></p>

<p><strong>Below are some simple tips and a starting point to educate your children: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Never talk to strangers</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Never accept anything from strangers</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Never open the door for anyone, under any circumstances if they are alone in the house.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Instruct  them how to answer the telephone without giving out any personal  information or divulging any information that would put them or your  family in potential danger.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Teach  them a simple word or phrase that can be used in the event someone  other then you must pick them up. Explain to them that this word is a  secret between you and them and they should never tell it to anybody.  Then inform their teacher of this special word or phrase so they can use  it for identification purposes when this other individual comes to pick  them up. It is also a good idea for the teacher or authority in charge  to have a full description of the individual who will pick up your  child.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">If  approached by a stranger, whether on foot or in a vehicle instruct them  to run as fast as they can to the nearest safe place, then define “safe  place” to them.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Explain the “buddy” system to them and when to use it.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">As  a parent, it is your responsibility to keep track of your kids, whether  playing in or outside of your home. Make sure the children understand  the importance of keeping you informed of their whereabouts with  definitive time frames.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Give them landmark boundaries within your neighborhood or property in which they must stay.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Teach your children what to do in case of a fire.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Teach your children how to dial “911” in case of an emergency.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Explain  to your children that they should not wander away from you when out  shopping together, and if they should happen to get separated, go to the  security guard, policeman or other authority.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Teach  your children what to do in case they are chased or attacked by an  unfriendly dog. Be sure you know effective procedures for handling dog  attacks. If you do not, be sure to learn them as your child’s or even  your own life may depend on it.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Teach them safety rules when riding a bicycle, and make sure they know they must wear a helmet at all times.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Instruct your children how to cross a street, when walking or with their bicycles.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Teach them the significance of traffic signs and lights.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Be  sure they understand they are not allowed to play in the streets. Teach  them why they are not permitted to play in the streets.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Symbol;"><span> </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Write  an emergency plan that details what they should do in different types  of situations. Gather the family together every so often and rehearse  these situations with the kids. Clearly make them aware of the  importance of these “games”, while interjecting some family fun at the  same time. </span></li>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">Tom Clarke™ and Lenny Bolton with ATAC TV™ Firearms Channel discuss the reliability of most modern handgun platforms.</span></strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">ATAC TV™ Firearm Reply and Answer:</span></strong></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Tom Clarke™ and Lenny Bolton with <a href="http://firearms.atactv.com/">ATAC TV™ Firearms Channel</a> discuss the reliability of most modern handgun platforms. <a href="http://firearms.atactv.com/home/leadership"> ATAC TV Staff</a> considers reliability the most important aspect of any firearm under  any type of conditions.  Most handguns are very accurate and most are  reliable in range type environments.  Reliability comes from the  continued functioning of the handgun under the most extreme conditions  to be worth having and owning, especially in a tactical situation.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The list  of modern handguns is huge, but to name a few such as GLOCK, H&amp;K,  Springfield, Sigarms, S&amp;W, Wilson, Kimber, etc, that are mostly  reliable, well-built and rugged firearm platforms that will perform if  handled in the proper manner.  This includes complete maintenance and  care as recommended by the manufacturer.  Field and detailed cleaning of  the weapon are a “must” with inspection of the wear parts to maintain  the reliability functions.  Many handguns require additional maintenance  over other brands to continue to function reliably.  This is something  you need to determine when purchasing and/or deciding which firearms are  right for you and your intended purpose.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">If you  plan to replace parts of your handgun with the latest modification  products, the reliability factor of your stock pistol will drop like a  rock.  Not all aftermarket parts are bad, but some products seem to be  the “Answer to a non-existent problem.  Products of this nature are  garbage, a waste of money and have no place on a reliable firearm. This  firearm, if used tactically, is a tool.  Anything that distracts from  that basic function should be avoided.  Your handgun should go “bang”  each and every time you press the trigger.  If not, either you have  added parts to distract from the intended purpose or you own a handgun  that would not be functional enough to bet your life on.  You must  choose what the intended use of this handgun is for in which environment  and working situation to be encountered.  This is how you should select  the correct handgun for your needs based on what you are going to use  it for.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.1pt 0in;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Watch  the video linked below of Tom Clarke and Lenny Bolton as they discuss  reliability with handguns and add more detail to help you make the  choice for what best suits your need.</span></p>

allegiance once again to those who pledge all.</p>
<p style="color: #000000; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">It’s because            of            the            dedication of the men and women who wear a uniform<br />
and carry a firearm to make our liberties possible that we created<br />
NRA Life of Duty—to give our frontline warriors a voice, to tell their stories,<br />
to give them a home in the National Rifle Association. <strong>So I invite NRA<br />
members to view a remarkable video.</strong> It’s the poignant profile of a<br />
one-of-a-kind patriot, and a sample of the stirring reporting you’ll find on the<br />
NRA Life of Duty network. The life story of an American hero, Navy SEAL<br />
Adam Brown, is a tribute to a husband, a father, a person of unyielding<br />
courage and faith, and above all, a man who exemplified the American spirit.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Arial;">Dry practice is  the act of manipulating and practicing with an UNLOADED firearm in a  safe manner; identical to the skills you practice on the range with live  ammunition.  You should dry practice on the range, or other appropriate  locations. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">You should be  implementing dry practice into your firearm’s routine, as it will  drastically improve your firearm handling skills. Dry Practice IS the  Skill Builder!  Shooting well is NOT an inherited trait – or perhaps a  “natural” talent?  As with any accomplishment in life, you have to <em>work</em> for it.  Your ability to shoot well with a firearm is related to your  hand-eye coordination and the effort you spend dry practicing your  skills over and over again while those skills develop into the learned  skill recorded by your brain, some people call it “Muscle Memory”.  (Muscle memory is the increased accuracy of an activity through  repetition, programming your brain.)  Advanced levels and techniques are  the mastery of the basic fundamentals. You must first master these  basics, which takes time, effort and lots of practice.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">While practicing  with the firearm platform, ALL SAFETY RULES APPLY and all ammunition  must be removed from the training area.  Dry practice becomes dangerous  if you get lazy or comfortable and complacent with the learning  process.  You do not want an accidental discharge with your firearm,  and/or nervously tracking the path of your bullet through your house. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">Always abide by the four rules of gun safety:</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">1.</span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">All guns are loaded. (Treated as such)</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">2.</span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">Do not point the muzzle at anything you are not willing to destroy.</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">3.</span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">Finger off the trigger, out of the trigger guard until sights are on target.</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-indent: -0.25in;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">4.</span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial;">Be sure of your target and foreground/background</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">So why not just  go shooting more often?  It is fun to shoot, but burning through cases  of ammunition could be non-productive to your skills, There are many  great benefits of dry practicing you would miss if all you do is shoot  live cartridges.  Practice the entire sequence of shooting, which  includes presentation from the holster, sight alignment, sight picture,  trigger control and follow through.  As you dry practice, pressing  straight back the trigger, 100% focused on the front sight, you <em>must</em> pay attention to any slight movement of the front sight, which will  affect the accuracy of the shot, resulting from a mash, flinching or bad  trigger control.  You must to be 100% focused as you dry practice, or  it becomes a waste of time, or much worse, ingraining bad habits that  are hard to fix. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Dry-Practice each  skill you would normally perform while shooting with live ammo, whether  you are training for a fight or just shooting paper targets at the  local range.  Will it make you a better shooter?  Yes!  For each shot  taken on the range, you should be dry pressing your trigger – or  whatever skill you are working on – at least 50 times more than you do  when shooting with live ammo.  It takes dedication to continue the hard  work required for accurate dry practice. Good things happen for people  who have the desire and determination to increase their skill levels!   It will help to take 20-30 minutes time out of your day for  unbelievable advancement of your shooting skills and ammunition costs  nothing. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Try this:   Practice “perfect” trigger presses 10 minutes each day for 2 weeks.  Clear your firearm and get the ammunition out of the area, chamber check  again telling yourself out loud “This gun is not loaded”, align sights  on your target, focus 100% on the front sight, place the center of the  pad of your index finger on the trigger and take the slack out, start to  build the pressure until you achieve a surprise break (gun goes  CLICK).  The front sight should not move.  Repeat as many times as you  can concentrate and focus. <span> </span>If you are distracted, stop training and pick it up later when you can. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">This would be the only time that getting a “CLICK” instead of a “BANG” is a good thing.<span> </span>The  effort you put into your training will surface as you continue to  increase your skills through different avenues of learning.<span> </span>Dry practice will absolutely make you a much better shooter.<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Check out the Dry Practice programs for many of the weapons platforms on ATAC TV Firearms Channel for more tips and hints.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 105%; font-family: Arial;">For  many Americans, home invasions are what happen to “other” people. Most  people do not plan for this as they do not believe they will ever be the  victim of this type of crime, or any type of crime for that matter.  Initially the best defense is awareness. Being alert can save your life  and that of your family. As in any emergency situation, <strong><em>Do Not</em></strong> rely on the police or other people to come to your rescue in your time of need. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 105%; font-family: Arial;">You  will need to rely upon yourself and/ or your family members as law  enforcement can only respond to what crimes they are aware of. If by  chance they are made aware of a crime in progress, there is still the  issue of how much time will pass before they actually arrive on scene.  At that point we must also consider this home invasion could turn into a  hostage situation. If that happens then your chances of escape as well  as your choices shrink considerably. </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: -0.25in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"><span>1.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">NEVER  open the door for a simple knock or for anyone selling or asking  questions unless you know them. If you open it, you have just allowed  the criminals entry to your home and have jeopardized the safety of your  entire family.<span> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"><span>2.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">Develop  a crisis/emergency plan with your family. Rehearse it so that everyone  is sure of his or her roles. Try to work in as many variables as you can  think of. When unsure of how to go about developing such a plan, do not  hesitate to contact a professional for help.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 105%; font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"><span>3.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">Keep  a cellular phone accessible inside your home. Make sure it is always  charged and in good working order. Your cell phone is no good if it is  off; leave it on through the night.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 105%; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"><span>4.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">While  in your home, keep all the doors locked. Do not leave your garage door  open at any time, unless you are doing something directly in front of  it. If you are outside mowing the lawn, keep the garage door closed and  locked. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 105%; font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"><span>5.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">Vary  the routes you travel daily to work and/or recreational activities.   These criminals can also monitor a traditional or regular pattern of  your schedule in order to follow you directly back to your home. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"><span>6.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">Know  your neighborhood. Be familiar with the people, their vehicles and  their typical daily routines. Be alert if anything is out of sorts.  Unfamiliar people or vehicles.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 105%; font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"><span>7.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">When approaching your home after being out, scan the area for anything out of place or unusual prior to entering your property.<span> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"><span>8.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">Always maintain proper lighting to the approach of your residence. Be alert if one or more lights<span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">are not working.<span> </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 105%; font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"><span>9.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">Set  up key words with your family members so that you can all communicate  an emergency covertly, in the event you or a family member is in  trouble. An example of this is as follows; you are out shopping, your  youngest daughter who is 17 years old is home but an intruder is with  her. You call her from your cellular phone on the way back from your  work or outing and she answers by hitting the key pad three times then  saying to you “I am sorry you must have the wrong number” and presses  the key pad as many times as possibly before she hangs up. This is your  signal that she is in grave danger and you immediately call the police.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 105%; font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span></p>
<p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;"><span>10.<span style="font: 7pt &quot;Times New Roman&quot;;"> </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">When  possible, designate or construct one room or place in your home to be  the “safe room”. This room must maintain a very solid door (fire proof  when possible), heavily constructed walls and ceiling. Always keep a  form of communication, preferably a cellular phone in that space that is  active and fully charged. Just to mention a few other items that are  important to maintain inside that room, potable drinking water,  non-perishable food items, weapons and a separate electrical supply  (when feasible).</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 105%; font-family: Arial;"><br />

<p>Democrats cling to their guns</p>
<p>Gun ownership is on the rise in some surprising places. As much as  President Obama would have us believe that only small town yokels &#8220;cling  to guns or religion,&#8221; a Gallup poll released Wednesday suggests many of  the firearms that have been flying off the shelves in the past two  years were purchased by Democrats and women. The Second Amendment has  truly gone mainstream.</p>
<p>Overall, just under half of Americans said they have a gun at home,  which is 6 percent more than had them in 2010. Not surprisingly, the  highest ownership percentages are found in the South and the Midwest,  and Republicans are the group most likely to be packing heat - up 3  percent. By comparison, Gallup found the number of Democrats willing to  come out and admit to having a sidearm jumped 8 points from 32 percent  to 40 percent. Since Mr. Obama’s inauguration, the ranks of gun-toting  women swelled by 10 points to 43 percent.</p>
<p>This change has significant impact on policy. Nearly three out of four  respondents opposed handgun bans - an all-time high. There are now more  Democrats with guns than there are liberals who want to take them away. A  half-century ago, the gun grabbers held sway over public opinion.  Today, even misleading terms like “assault weapon” aren’t enough to  scare up majority support for gun control.</p>

<p>Support for stricter gun laws in general is lowest Gallup has measured<br />
by <a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/150341/Record-Low-Favor-Handgun-Ban.aspx">Jeffrey M. Jones</a><br />
PRINCETON, NJ &#8212; A record-low 26% of Americans favor a legal ban on the  possession of handguns in the United States other than by police and  other authorized people. When Gallup first asked Americans this question  in 1959, 60% favored banning handguns. But since 1975, the majority of  Americans have opposed such a measure, with opposition around 70% in  recent years.</p>
<p>The results are based on Gallup&#8217;s annual Crime poll, conducted Oct. 6-9.  This year&#8217;s poll finds support for a variety of gun-control measures at  historical lows, including the ban on handguns, which is Gallup&#8217;s  longest continuing gun-control trend.</p>
<p>For the first time, Gallup finds greater opposition to than support for a  ban on semiautomatic guns or assault rifles, 53% to 43%. In the initial  asking of this question in 1996, the numbers were nearly reversed, with  57% for and 42% against an assault rifle ban. Congress passed such a  ban in 1994, but the law expired when Congress did not act to renew it  in 2004. Around the time the law expired, Americans were about evenly  divided in their views.</p>
<p>Additionally, support for the broader concept of making gun laws &#8220;more  strict&#8221; is at its lowest by one percentage point (43%). Forty-four  percent prefer that gun laws be kept as they are now, while 11% favor  less strict laws.</p>
<p>As recently as 2007, a majority of Americans still favored stricter  laws, which had been the dominant view since Gallup first asked the  question in 1990.</p>
<p>Americans&#8217; preference regarding gun laws is generally that the  government enforce existing laws more strictly and not pass new laws  (60%) rather than pass new gun laws in addition to stricter enforcement  of existing laws (35%). That has been the public&#8217;s view since Gallup  first asked the question in 2000; the 60% this year who want stricter  enforcement but no new laws is tied for the high in the trend.</p>
<p>Support for Stricter Gun Laws Down Among Key Subgroups</p>
<p>All key subgroups show less support for stricter gun laws, and for a ban  on handguns, than they did 20 years ago. In 1991, 68% of Americans  favored stricter gun laws and 43% favored a ban on handguns. Those  percentages are 43% and 26%, respectively, today.</p>
<p>Relatively few key subgroups favor stricter gun-control laws today,  whereas in 1991, all did. Since then, Democrats&#8217; views have shown less  change, with a 10-point decline in the percentage favoring stricter  laws. Republicans show a much larger decline of 35 points. In addition  to Democrats, majorities of Eastern residents and those without guns in  their household still favor stricter gun laws.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.gallup.com/poll/150341/Record-Low-Favor-Handgun-Ban.aspx">See graphs here</a></p>
<p>Democrats, Eastern residents, members of gun non-owning households, and  women were among the few subgroups to favor a ban on handguns in 1991,  but now no key subgroup has a majority in favor. Those with guns in  their household are least likely to favor a handgun ban.</p>
<p><strong>Implications</strong></p>
<p>Americans have shifted to a more pro-gun view on gun laws, particularly  in recent years, with record-low support for a ban on handguns, an  assault rifle ban, and stricter gun laws in general. This is the case  even as high-profile incidents of gun violence continue in the United  States, such as the January shootings at a meeting for U.S. Rep.  Gabrielle Giffords in Arizona.</p>
<p>The reasons for the shift do not appear related to reactions to the  crime situation, as Gallup&#8217;s Crime poll shows no major shifts in the  trends in Americans&#8217; perceptions of crime, fear of crime, or reports of  being victimized by crime in recent years. Nor does it appear to be tied  to an increase in gun ownership, which has been around 40% since 2000,  though it is a slightly higher 45% in this year&#8217;s update. The 2011  updates on these trends will appear on Gallup.com in the coming days.</p>
<p>Perhaps the trends are a reflection of the American public&#8217;s acceptance  of guns. In 2008, Gallup found widespread agreement with the idea that  the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right of  Americans to own guns. Americans may also be moving toward more  libertarian views in some areas, one example of which is greater support  for legalizing marijuana use. Diminished support for gun-control laws  may also be tied to the lack of major gun-control legislation efforts in  Congress in recent years.<br />
<strong><br />
Survey Methods</strong><br />
Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted  Oct. 6-9, 2011, with a random sample of 1,005 adults, aged 18 and  older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.</p>
<p>For results based on the total sample of national adults, one can say  with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±4  percentage points.</p>
<p>Interviews are conducted with respondents on landline telephones and  cellular phones, with interviews conducted in Spanish for respondents  who are primarily Spanish-speaking. Each sample includes a minimum quota  of 400 cell phone respondents and 600 landline respondents per 1,000  national adults, with additional minimum quotas among landline  respondents by region. Landline telephone numbers are chosen at random  among listed telephone numbers. Cell phone numbers are selected using  random-digit-dial methods. Landline respondents are chosen at random  within each household on the basis of which member had the most recent  birthday.</p>
<p>Samples are weighted by gender, age, race, Hispanic ethnicity,  education, region, adults in the household, and phone status (cell phone  only/landline only/both, cell phone mostly, and having an unlisted  landline number). Demographic weighting targets are based on the March  2010 Current Population Survey figures for the aged 18 and older  non-institutionalized population living in U.S. telephone households.  All reported margins of sampling error include the computed design  effects for weighting and sample design.</p>
<p>In addition to sampling error, question wording and practical  difficulties in conducting surveys can introduce error or bias into the  findings of public opinion polls.</p>
