Praise be to the Lord my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle Psalm 144:1
More South Africans have been brutally murdered in what has been euphemistically called peace in the new South Africa (1994 on) than the US army have had killed in Iraq by direct military action. (I am not talking I.E.D's* or suicide bombers). If one takes into consideration, forevery man woman and child that has been brutally slain in their home within the borders of South Africa the murder has entailed a one-on-one confrontation. In other words, a calculated planned and executed act of killing carried out by a single perpetrator or a small violent group. Many of the deaths could have been avoided had the victims be more aware or been instructed in survival techniques. That is not to say it was the victims’ fault but most certainly had they had some basic understanding or knowledge of action to be taken their death may have been avoided.
70% of car-related crimes occur when vehicles are parked at home. In a survey it was indicated that only 9.2% had occurred in a public parking lot. So a high percentage of car crime is perpetrated when you are in a place of sanctuary. Apart from the fact you did not know that, you probably have never been told how to avoid it.
Do you run outside when the vehicle alarm goes off? Unarmed, ill prepared, and poorly trained. Thinking when you shout: “Hey you! Get away from my car!” that they will run away?
Are you aware that an average of 30% of all house robbers have committed murder or will not hesitate to commit murder?
Dr. Zinn Robbery Research
This statement implies that we have 30% of murderers out there waiting to do it again. Is it not to your benefit to have some security training and instruction for your family?
Many of you surrendered your firearms out of ignorance and fear as you had no knowledge of how to legally keep them or it appeared to be too difficult.
And today because guns have had a bad press many people who want a gun for self-defence don’t even know the correct legal procedure of how to get one due to the vacillation of CFR (Central Firearms Registration)
Again, is it not worthwhile to put aside a week end to gain knowledge that may very well save your life and the lives of your loved ones?
