Car alarms for defense……..
Car Alarms as defense, offense and for personal safety.
Quote of the Day
“Our defense is in the preservation of the spirit which prizes liberty as a heritage of all men, in all lands, everywhere. Destroy this spirit and you have planted the seeds of despotism around your own doors.”
Abraham Lincoln

Take Your Car Keys to Bed with You
By Bev Sandlin
Way back when, before there were car alarms, 3 blasts of a vehicle horn on the homestead meant “Come a runnin’! EMERGENCY.” It could be animals out or wounded, you crawled back to the vehicle with a sprained ankle and needed help, stuck in a snow bank (again), fire, whatever. But you had to be able to get to the vehicle first.
This showed up in my email box and made so much sense that I have to share it with you!

Military Common Sense Rules
A lot of life’s problems can be explained by the U.S. Military and its applications of common sense…
1. “Sometimes I think war is God’s way of teaching us geography.”

(Instruction printed on US M79 Rocket Launcher)
4. When the pin is pulled, Mr. Grenade is not our friend.

That’s a good thought and one I would try if we had a car that HAD an alarm system! Only problem is most people tend to completely ignore car alarms but will probably choose to investigate if it goes on long enough. Thanks, Bev.
It’s mostly a good idea, but, in an urban/suburban environment, when is the last time some heroic citizen ran out, brandishing a broadsword and yelling “Stop, thief!” instead of ignoring the alarm and thinking “What a**hole left his car alarm armed in a d*mn parking lot?”
The more rural the location, the more likely the alarm will get attention. City/suburban folks tend to ignore things like sirens/horns/gunshots as ‘background noise”. It’s not a good thing, it’s just the way it is.
