But all of us need to participate in our own protection.

Everyday safety requires the participation of everyone.

And a healthy sense of skepticism and a moderate dose of vigilance, kind of having more of a framework of playing chess than of playing checkers, is all most people need to

Live a happy, healthy, successful, and especially a safe existence.

So let's say everyone, everywhere I go, every speech I give, one of the big topics of conversation always comes down to home security, residential security.

How do I keep my home safe?

Do I need a gun?

Do I need a dog?

Do I need a ring camera?

Do I need ADT?

What do I do to keep myself safe?

And for the most part, all most people need to do is lock their front door because 85% of home invasions are the result of someone just walking in through the front door.

Bad guys are kind of like lions stalking the gazelles.

They don't go after the strongest of the herd, they go after the weakest.

Because now they're thinking, oh, well, you know, my wife hates it when I stink up the downstairs bathroom.

So she always cracks the window or the kids who come home from soccer practice and they don't lock the garage door or the doors on the first floor are locked.

But I know that I can if I can shimmy up to the second floor deck, I can go in through that door.

No problem.

Well, all of those ways that you would break into your house are the exact same way that a bad guy would break into your house.

So now that you know what those risks are, put the safeguards in place to keep those bad things from happening.
