The personal protection/self defense thread

[88sins]

Ok, so since criminal conduct in this place seems to be badly out of control with little to no reprieve in sight, & the criminal element in our society ever evolving new strategies to conduct their nefarious business & misdeeds, I got to wondering why there isn't a thread to where ppl can share pointers and tips on how to help persons avoid becoming a victim of both violent crime & non violent crime (murder, rape, assault, robbery, larceny, fraud etc)
So in this thread, if you have any pointers you'd like to share that can help persons safeguard themselves, their loved ones & their property, feel free to share them here. Anything at all, no matter how big or small an insight you can provide. Because a tactic one person knows about but thinks might be insignificant, could very well be the critical piece of knowledge necessary for another person trying to save their own life.



If we all share our knowledge, tactics, practices and insights, and what you share might just save life, or you may learn something that can help keep you safe.

Anti survelliance to and from home, when you go out etc

[ruffneck_12]

When you come to a red light, leave some space ahead of you incase you hadda get space to digs out.

Separate your house keys from your car keys bunch. If they come for your car they don't get your house keys.

[hustla_ambition101]

Be alert especially when heading home, keep an eye out for vehicles following. Hit high beams when entering driveway and do a quick scan for persons who may be hiding. Be ready to jump out open gate and jump back in vehicle, keep the fiddling to a minimum.

The small pocket lysols can come in handy for those who are afraid to get pepper spray.

There are martial arts and self defense schools, join one.

Active Self Protection, one of the better YouTube channels, he breaks down real life robberies, shootings etc.

be aware of transition zones where you are vulnerable, entering and leaving your house/car, red lights, grocery stores, etc, look for attack cues, etc

People do this?

[The_Honourable]

Reverse into your driveway so you can see the entrance in front of you.

Remove the light connected to your motorized gate. Someone from a distance can see it or the reflection and mark you.

Dome cameras as they 360 degree and covert.

Have cameras installed in your car to record while driving and parked.

For those afraid to get pepper spray, make your own. Youtube will guide you.

Keep them around the house and away from children. Even have the solution in a water gun if you like.

Tactical flashlights with a strike bezel can come in handy.

Also your alarm system in your car. Friends remember if you make it inside your car safely, you want to lock the doors asap. Practice either manually locking your doors the split second you close the door, or have a feature that locks the door as soon as your car starts. This bullsheit with starting the car and the doors auto locking a while after driving is unsafe.

Always have a plan,if you live in a dead end street always make sure no one is behind you when swinging into your street have a point where you can drive into just prior to your street and turn around to ensure youre not being followed.
When you reach home dont be quick to unlock your doors before making sure no on is in your yard hiding.
Have your premisis well lit, cameras and alarms are good to encourage criminals to target someone else.
As for the Lysol- BAYgon or any local Bug spray is more lethal(combined with a lighter is even better) , then again I prefer BLEACH kept in a spray bottle in your car, spray directly into your attackers eyes- it WILL DO some damage!

[hydroep]

If possible let someone know your movements i.e. where you're going, how to contact you etc.

Walk with a fully charged phone and make sure yuh have money on the account. Mightn't be such a bad idea to invest in one of those portable battery banks as well.

When you come to a red light, leave some space ahead of you incase you hadda get space to digs out.

Ever notice that's what the amalgamated security trucks do?

I do this as well. If possible, I also try to avoid coming to a complete stop when approaching a red light.

I does see men rushing and overtaking to stop at a red light..If I'm at a distance and I see amber, I just life my foot of the gas and coast to the lights, by the time I reach, green lights are there and just accelerate accordingly.

Exactly. Coasting is the safest way to do it. One thing that I'm always paranoid about though is a drive-thru. Idk if there are any bandits scouring 2NR but seriously..has anyone else thought about that? Being robbed while stuck in a drive-thru..

Become PM/ AG/ Min of Nat Security , get a personal armed police detail and forget about crime and criminals.

I don't stop at no red light after 10pm anywhere..highway,POS,in my area,out of the area..camera or not.If someone in front of me going to stop,I going and overtake.Last year I was coming down the rivulet when I noticed a few empty beer cases on the road around the first corner.I passed them comfortably not thinking much about it.I passed the second corner and same thing again.Now I began to think something was up.Coming down the stretch full speed just before 1975 and as I about to turn into the corner,one setta beer case on the road so is either I hit the cases and damage the bumper or try to avoid and go down the ravine so I choose the former and only the paint was taken off.Luckily the front lip in my car made the car low because if it was a van,those cases were surely flying up and causing some serious damage.When I got home I started thinking to myself,what are the chances that all the empty beer cases fall right side up.Later on that same week,I saw a video where some T&TEC workers in Chaguaramas discovered spikes nailed to the road and someone driving through Woodland I believe where they were throwing balloons filled with paint at your windscreen.

best thing to do is wear them isis bomb vest and when he approach just open it up and say oh well that makes the two of us.. he sure speeding off

[amd-dude]

I do these, although I'm fully aware if a man pulls up with a gun and say gimme everything yuh mc, I will fully oblige, only in life or death would I take action.

1. I attend Krav Maga classes.

2. When walking to my car, dominant hand is always free and in my pocket as I do carry a pocket knife and always scanning around and especially behind me.

3. To tie into the above I never park in any dark/lonely areas, if I can't get a decent park, I wait.

4. As mentioned before, never fiddle when walking to any door (car or home) have your keys out and the appropriate one(s) ready.

5. Just in general I avoid any grimey looking places and places that harbor said grimey crowd.

6. As soon as you enter your car and by extension home, lock the door behind you.

7. I have the android app called Tasker, made a task that with the press of a button or certain text message received, the phone will send an SMS to specific persons in my contacts giving them steps to track my phone to find said phone and by extension me. I know this may not work but always stack the odds in your favor.

8. This one will come later but as soon as Gary makes it easier for regular law abiding citizens to possess pepper spray, tasers and firearms etc I'll invest in those.
