Most people who come during the day are coming for your things.

Most people who come at night are coming for you.

But where most people may have a security plan to keep bad guys from coming in, most people, like the number one vulnerability of most residential security plans that I audit is that they don't have a plan for what to do once someone gets in.

So should that actually turn into a home invasion where you are inside the house?

What is your plan?

Are you going to get out?

Do you have a safe room or do you have a fallback plan?

Are the kids going to come to you?

Are you going to go to the kids?

What is your family reunification plan if everyone's just going to go out different exits?

So having like the most what is the most realistic risk you are most likely to face and then put the safeguards in place to to reduce the the overall impact of that risk.

Bottom line is that we can no longer afford to live in a world where we simply hope that nothing will happen and then solely rely on the first responders to save us once something does.

Most people are overconfident.

Most people think, well, I have mace, so I'm protected, or I carry a gun, so I'm protected.

Most of us would love to believe that in a scenario that we would be the hero, that we would rise up, that we would fight back or we would run away.

Most people freeze.

Most people panic.

Most people don't understand why they're feeling this way because they never expected to feel that way.

And when they're in that situation, they make decisions which are more in line with being a victim than of being a survivor.

But if you understand that that is something that might happen to you, you might be the kind of person that has to be more proactive in identifying the exits or the uncommon exits or having a mental projection for what you want your body to perform so that when it is called upon to engage in that act, it is able to do so in a more effective fashion.
