Home Defense Methods for Protection against Home Invaders:
1. Secure your homes access points
You want to begin you line of protection against potential criminals with securing all visible and hidden access points to you home. An easy starting point is your front and back door, ensure your doors are solid wood or solid steel preferably. The density of the material adds an extra layer of defense to your home as burglars and potential thieves will if not stopped be surely slowed down by heavier door components thus providing more time for you to take action against the crooks!

3. While asleep leave your firearm nearby or in a easily accessible place
Just to be safe, you can never go wrong with sleeping next to your rifle or with your handgun next to your bed for protection! The only reason this is not a suggested method is because we all sleep differently and while one person may be able to hear an intruder entering their home while they are sleep another may not, this leaves a vulnerable spot for thieves to enter your home while you’re sleeping and steal your weapon to cause harm to you and your family! This is a scenario you strictly want to avoid! Sleeping with a firearm nearby is definitely an adequate protection measure however if you choose this method of home defense be sure you are able to react in any given situation, I advise adding cameras on top of sleeping with your firearm for double the protection!
4. Buy a safe for your belongings
One of best methods to protect your home against burglary or home theft is to buy a durable vault to store your personal items in. Sometimes thieves catch us when we least expect it most commonly at night or while your away from your home. To ensure that your valuable possessions and important items are protected against robbery in your home, buy a safe! Safes come in many different material builds and lock settings that can truly enhance your home defense system. Among the other item suggestions on the list, unexpected things can always happen.
