Welcome to this issue of the Minuteman Monthly Newsletter.
This is the monthly communication from my Web site at www.SaveTheGuns.com.
Thank you for reading this month's issue and for passing it on to a
friend.
The September issue of the Minuteman Monthly Newsletter will
be aimed at preventing home burglaries. About once every year I
try to write an issue on preventing your firearms from being stolen and
quickly turned over to a violent thug for quick cash.
About 40% of all firearms that are used during the commission of a
crime come from home burglaries, burglaries of gun dealers, "on the
street" illegal sales and guns sold through the illegal narcotics trade.
My own estimate is somewhere around twenty percent (20%) of all guns
used during the commission of a violent crime come from home burglaries
from law abiding gun owners. At least one study that I've read
corroborates this statistic.
How can we, as lawful gun owners,
prevent our firearms from being used by thugs to rape, rob, assault or
murder?

SaveTheGuns.com Gun Safety Tip of the Month
The gun safety tip of the month for September is a fairly basic
one. When cleaning and/or disassembling a firearm for cleaning,
make sure that there is no live ammunition in the area.
This is a good rule to follow for a few reasons. Ammunition
cartridges may be damaged by gun oil or solvents. If the firearm
is unsupervised for even a short period of time, a child or some other
unauthorized and/or uninstructed person may load the gun without your
knowledge if there's live ammo left accessible.
Many times you'll hear about an accidental firearm discharge that
occurred while someone was cleaning a gun. Keeping all live
ammunition away from the area in which you're cleaning or disassembling
a gun will prevent any excuses for an accidental discharge.
Of course, the very first step in cleaning a firearm is to pull the
magazine, open the cylinder or open the action. Taking these steps
first will ensure that your gun is unloaded and all live ammo is put
away. There's no legitimate excuse for an accidental discharge if
all the basic rules are followed.

Rules" page on the Web at www.SaveTheGuns.com/safety_rules.htm

Item of the Month
The item of the month is going to be an ongoing feature in the Minuteman
Monthly Newsletter. I hope you find it useful.
This month I'm including a solution for keeping the guns in your
home during a burglary.
Let me point you to the Wall
Vault solution. More information on the Wall Vault can be
found by visiting the following Web page: http://www.wall-vault.com/?aff=marcr
The Wall Vault is a wall safe made by SecureLogic. It's a
reinforced stainless steel box that is intended for handguns and small
valuables. It
is designed to fit in between the wall studs in a standard wall and can
be installed by the Do-It-Yourself homeowner.
More and more states are coming up with legislation to burden the
homeowner with some degree of responsibility if their guns are stolen
and then criminally used to injure someone. As much as I disagree
with these kinds of laws, many state governors are signing them into
law.
Give a Wall Vault some serious thought. They can be easily
hidden behind a painting and access to the contents of the safe can be
lightning fast when practiced.
Minuteman Monthly Newsletter Aiming Point
Coming home to find out that your home has been invaded by criminal
thugs is a terrible experience that many of you have had to
endure. As gun owners, I'm pretty sure that our firearm storage
areas would be the first thing to check upon discovering a burglary.
When one inspects the area where the guns were stored and we find
them gone, one of the first thoughts must be "oh no, I hope nobody
gets shot by some creep using my guns."
What steps can we take to make absolutely certain that our cherished
guns don't end up in the hands of a violent thug? What are some
statistics about home burglaries? What can you do
to help prevent your handguns from being used to commit a crime of
violence?
Lawful gun owners are concerned about crime! Lawful gun owners
do not want their guns to be used by a violent thug during the
commission of a crime. Far too often anti-gunners try to portray
members of the National Rifle Association and other law abiding gun
owners as being friendly
collaborators to the violent thug simply because we support and defend
gun ownership. Nothing could be further from the truth.
A responsible and educated firearm owner will take common sense steps
to prevent their guns from being stolen and quickly turned over to
criminal hoodlums where they might be used to commit a robbery, rape,
aggravated assault or even murder. A home burglar typically will
not hoard stolen firearms, but usually quickly turns them into cash by
selling them to a hoodlum who is willing or inclined to commit a crime
of violence with it. It's very likely that you
personally know someone who has had a gun stolen from their home.
Possibly even you, the Minuteman Monthly Newsletter subscriber
has had one of your own guns stolen from your home. It must be a
horrible feeling when one discovers that their home has been invaded and
that one of their valued firearms have been taken from you. We can do
many things to help diminish the chances that one of our guns makes its
way into the hands of a violent criminal. The aim of this month's
newsletter is to give you some ideas to help curtail this source of guns
that are used by felons during the commission of a rape, robbery,
aggravated assault or murder. Let's look at some burglary facts
and how we can help reduce home burglaries where guns are stolen. Burglary

FACT: There is no safe place to "hide" a gun. All people have the same "hiding" places.
In fact, most burglars find a gun to steal within 4 minutes.
Experienced home burglars know where to look for your "hidden"

A gun safe should be bolted to the wall studs and floor if possible in order to prevent the gun safe from being removed from the home and opened at a remote location by a youth or a criminal.
The safe should also be pick-proof as well.
Avoiding Home Burglaries
Avoiding Home Burglary
Keep em' out!! (Most of the following valuable tips came from
Detective Kevin Coffee "The Scholar of Thievery". http://www.kevincoffee.com/)
He is the President and CEO of Corporate Travel Safety and has been seen
on dozens of television shows like Oprah, 20/20, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, The Travel Channel, Court
TV and The Today Show.)
Most criminals who burglarize homes are looking for an easy hit; a house that they can break into quickly, take something of value, and leave without being detected. Yes, there are professional burglars who can gain entry into almost any home if they want, however, most criminals who break into homes are opportunists who got lucky with an open window or unlocked door. There's no fail-proof way to keep out a burglar, but every little bit of deterrence helps. Even if you can't afford a security system, you can take a few minutes to make your home a little safer. Some relatively simple steps will greatly decrease the odds of a break-in, which means you can enjoy a bit more peace of mind. And isn't that what "home" is all about?
Lets take a look at a few facts.
Once a burglar has selected a home to burglarize, most will spend no more than a minute trying to break in and less than five minutes inside.
Most residential burglaries occur on the first or ground floor.
The point of entry is usually made at the rear or by a side door, the second most common access is via the garage door.
Most burglaries occur during daytime hours when homes are empty, and belong to two person households.
Now, with a few basis facts of burglary out of the way, in order to out fox a burglar, you need to think like one. Here are a few questions a burglar would ask himself before he breaks into your home. Ask this question to yourself.
If you were a burglar targeting your own home:
How would you get in to your home? Evaluate your home from the inside and out, night and day. You might even try a "mock" break-in, trying window jambs and loose locks on your house's perimeter. Just let the neighbors know what you're up to before you go lurking in the bushes.
If you failed your test, hear are a few thoughts to harden your residence to burglars.
Lights
Even though most burglaries occur during the day, some occur during hours of darkness. Criminals are in search of houses with no one home. To reduce your home's risk of burglary at night, install motion lights in the front and in the rear of your house wherever possible. To be extra cautious, try to position the lights at the corners of your residence so the motion detectors can catch someone approaching from the side. Make sure the lights are positioned at a height that someone cannot disable them by easily reaching up and unscrewing the bulb.
Landscape
Make sure all shrubs and trees are trimmed back so they do not allow a burglar to conceal himself while attempting to open a window or door. If possible, plant bushes with prickly thorns around these locations. They are a cheap deterrent.
Scope out your yard
Don't stop your security awareness at the outside walls of your house. Your yard areas (if any) also deserve attention. In general, don't leave anything around the yard that might help a burglar get into your house. Ladders, stackable boxes or any garden tools should be put away, preferably in a locked cabinet. Many burglars have used the property owner’s own tools to break into a home. Don't place outdoor furniture tables nearby the house. These could become an easy stepladder to the roof. To discourage potential climbers, spread grease on any metal drainpipes if they are close to windows. Use Vaseline or clear automotive grease, depending on the color of the pipe (or replace them with plastic pipe). Yes, criminals do climb up drainpipes. Think about it, most second story windows are left un-secure and make a house easy to gain entry to.
Hide your identity
Do not place your name on your mailbox or front door, especially if you are a woman. If you really have to do this, use your last name only.
Secure the windows
Though windows are relatively easy to break, the loud noise of shattering glass will deter a thief if you're near other houses.
Create a lock for wooden-frame windows. At the top edge of the bottom frame, drill two holes perpendicular to the sash or at a slight, downward angle. Drill completely through the inside sash and halfway into the outside sash. Insert nails or bolts (don't hammer or screw these) into the holes. To test this setup to make certain the bolts won't pop out when wiggled.
Don't leave windows and doors open during the night whether you're home or away. That's a commonsense precaution, but a surprising number of people forget to do just that, especially second story windows. It's a good idea to make a "pane patrol" part of your ritual of leaving the house. Another option is to use a swege window alarm and stop. A swege is like a door stop for windows. It’s a device you place on windows you use for ventilation. It allows you to keep the window open (say 6-8 inches) for air. However, should anyone push the window further open the swege stops the window from sliding and emits an ear piercing alarm to scare the intruder away and to alert you of attempted entry.
Use a pickproof locking device for your windows. Make sure the frames are solid.
If you're beyond the earshot of your neighbors, they won't hear the glass breaking.
Consider installing a Plexiglas sheet for the more accessible windows. This will make entry through them more difficult.
Basement windows are an easy target, since they're low and usually well hidden. Firmly wedge a steel bar across the window, or install a metal grate.
Secure the doors
All exterior doors should be solid core, and can withstand being kicked in. All should have high quality dead bolts with at least 1 1/2 inch throws on the bolts themselves. The bolts in the locks should always be solid, not hollow metal.
Insure the door frame has a metal strike plate, which is secured by a minimum of six, three inch screws, which are screwed into the solid door frame.
Install a wrap-a-round steel place on the front of the door which covers the deadbolt. This will provide extra protection from a burglar kicking in the door, and reducing his ability to pry the door lock.
If you don't have a peephole, install one in the front door. If you have one, make sure that you and your family are in the habit of using it. Don't open the door to anyone you don't know, especially at night. If the peephole is out of reach of your children, keep a stepladder or stepping box by the door for them to use.
Dogs, even the small yip-yip variety, have sharp teeth and a way of noisily not welcoming stealthy intruders. But a dog is more than an organic alarm--it's a living creature, and it'll need a lifetime of love, care, attention and exercise. If you can genuinely welcome a dog into your life, it will welcome the task of protecting you. But if you're a cat person (or a guppy person) at heart, then look into electronic security systems.
The recording of a bark, as sometimes suggested, may only be effective for particularly gullible burglars. Some people have a playback system that's triggered by the doorbell, but the cause-and-effect (push, bark, push, bark) is a little too easy to discern. A Beware of Dog sign is better than nothing; for an added touch of verisimilitude, get a sign that refers to a specific breed rather than the generic Dog. A "Beware of Rotweiler" sign (or a bumper sticker that says "I Love My Pit Bull") might do the trick.
Protect your valuables
Don't leave your valuables (stereo, computer, jewelry, etc.) where they can be seen from a window. If you don't want to hide everything from sight, consider draperies and blinds. Make a valuables inventory. Keep a record of your expensive and personally significant items--not just a listing, but a photographic or videotape record if possible. Store this inventory at another location. This is helpful for both the police and the insurance agency (if you have a homeowner's policy), to identify the stolen goods.
Use an engraving pen to mark these items with some kind of personal identifying information, such as your initials, in an inconspicuous place. This also helps record your possessions in case of any other mishap, such as fire or flood.
Note: The old engraving recommendation was to use your Social Security number. However, this is now considered to be an unsafe practice--your Social Security number can be far more valuable than any individual object, and a thief may use it to impersonate you for the purpose of getting credit cards, loans, etc. Trying to undo the resulting damage can be a long and difficult process. Consequently, you should keep your Social Security number safely stored away. Some states issue driver's license numbers that are different than your Social Security number; this may be a good substitute. It is now recommended that owners of property use their driver's license number, followed by the state of issuance.

What To Do Before The Burglar Comes
Outside Your Home
Trim shrubs so windows and doors are in full view from the street. Unobstructed doors and windows are a deterrent because the intruder is forced to work in the open where detection is likely. Maintain adequate lighting, especially at vulnerable entry points.
Always keep garage doors locked. This prevents burglars from entering your home through the hinged door leading from the attached garage to the house. House numbers should be prominently displayed and well lighted.
If you have an alley, your house number should be visible from there, too.
This helps police and other emergency vehicles find your home when necessary.
Urge your neighbors to display their house numbers. This will be very useful when calling to report a burglary or fire at their home.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Doors
Exterior Doors:
All exterior doors should be metal clad or solid hardwood. Doors of this type resist forced entry because they are not easily battered or bored.
Install a 180 degree wide-angle viewer in exterior door to see who is at the door before opening it. These viewers are available from locksmiths and hardware stores.
Sliding Glass Doors:
Place a length of wood in the lower track. Make sure it fits snug and cannot be popped out of the track by an intruder.
Buy a metal bar, or Charley bar, that attaches to the side frame and folds down across the glass, bracing itself against the opposite frame. Charley bars are available from locksmiths.
It is easy for a burglar to pry a sliding glass door from its track. To prevent this, install three, one and one-fourth inch large head sheet metal screws in the upper track of the movable door. Make sure they protrude far enough so the sliding frame just clears.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Locks
The key-in-knob or spring lock is used most often in dwellings. Its spring-activated strike has a beveled edge and can be easily defeated when a credit card or screwdriver is wedged between it and the strike plate. This lock offers little security.
The dead latch is similar to the spring latch but has a bar on the strike that cannot be easily defeated. It offers little security because the bar is very short and weak. Both lock types should be supplemented by deadbolt locks or rim type locks.
The deadbolt lock has a bolt that must be activated by a key or thumb turn. If offers good security because it is not spring activated and cannot be opened by a credit card. For this reason it is best to install deadbolt locks on solid hardwood exterior doors. Either of these two types of deadbolt locks should be installed.
The single cylinder deadbolt is activated with a key on the exterior side of the door and a thumb turn piece on the other side. Install this lock where there is no breakable glass within 40 inches of the thumb turn piece.
The double cylinder deadbolt is key activated on both sides of the door. It should be installed where there is glass within 40 inches of the lock. The double cylinder lock can hinder escape from a burning home. So always leave a key in or near the lock when someone is home. Children should know the location of this key and how to operate the lock. When no one is home, keep the key out of the reach of any burglar who might break the glass near the lock.
Recommended features of the deadbolt lock:
The bolt must extend a minimum of one inch and be made of case hardened steel or contain a hardened insert.
The cylinder guard must be tapered, round and free spinning to make it difficult to grip with a pliers or wrench. It must be solid metal-not hollow casting or stamped metal.
A heavy duty strike plate installed in place of a regular strike plate helps strengthen door frames. The heavy duty plate uses four to six, three-inch wood screws, not two, three fourths inch screws used in regular plates. These longer screws go through the jamb into the frame making it harder for someone to split the jamb when kicking the door.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Securing Your Windows Double hung windows are easily jimmied or pried open. They can be secured by taking these simple, inexpensive precautions:
Keyed locks offering effective protection are available for windows. These inexpensive, easy-to-install locks should replace thumb turn locks that offer little security.
Master key all window locks and show children how to use them. Do not use keyed locks on windows in sleeping areas.
Sliding glass windows are secured the same way as sliding glass doors. See section on doors.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ While Away From Home During vacations or other trips, follow these tips to make your home appear occupied. They will discourage burglaries.
Ask a trusted neighbor to:
Park in your driveway or in front of your home.
Occasionally place garbage in your garbage can.
Mow the lawn or shovel sidewalks.
Check your home for anything unusual.
Pick up your mail and newspapers. Never tell the newspaper carrier that you will be gone. Cancel the paper rather than entering a "vacation stop".
Either use automatic timers or recruit a trusted neighbor to turn lights on at dusk and off at your bedtime. Vary the lights to be turned on and occasionally have a radio turned on. Never leave lights or the radio on constantly.
Leave your drapes in the normal position. Have a neighbor close them at night, open them at daylight and reposition them every day or so.
Set the bell on your telephone on low. A loudly ringing unanswered phone is a sure sign no one is home. If you have portable phone service remove the phone from the wall. Once this is done the phone's bell will not ring.
Keep your garage door closed and locked so no one can see your car is gone or other equipment in your garage.
Tell a neighbor where you can be reached in an emergency.
Don't let your travel plans be widely known.
