Good morning to you on this awesome Thursday 11 August 2022.

Here is something to consider, we hope it’s makes you think ….

Colour Codes of Awareness to survival - This is the Real Deal!

Awareness is the state of preparedness for a life threatening situation, you must be prepared to recognize the danger signs and have the ability to deal with them. You can have all the gear and no idea -Preparedness with all the most expensive gear will never save your life, awareness the danger, then to reaction.

The colour codes of awareness was put together by an USA Col Jeff Cooper and then later on was modified by a Firearm training officer/ Author, Massad Ayoob, he added on the Colour code BLACK to the original codes of awareness.

They are as follows with a brief description, use them, they will save you one day - FACT!

Colour Code White

Colour code white refers to a state of total relaxed awareness; there is no awareness at all. This is a dangerous mindset to be in, as you are in a dream state and not paying attention at all. This could include driving. You are either thinking in the past or future, your reaction time will be much slower as you are not in the present mindset and your surroundings.

Tip: WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE - Do it now!

Colour Code Yellow

Yellow is the next level of awareness, it’s the relaxed state of awareness, you should know where are the kids, where is my wife, is the house locked up and where are the keys etc. Is my firearm loaded and ready to go if anything could happen. It’s the state where you cannot be surprised.

Tip: SEE THEM BEFORE THEY SEE YOU - Play 0’s and X’s - if someone sees you first and surprises you, Punish yourself by awarding yourself with a Naught =0, nothing, NADA, niks, which means you lost.

However if you are aware and see someone before they see you, well done you win, you get an X, are you a winner or loser?

Colour Code Orange

Orange is the state of alert; you have heard a noise or seen people panicking, people running, dogs barking, tires screeching, women shouting or any other visual or audible sign that will alert you to a problem in your direct area of safety. You now have found safe areas, or an escape route to use if the problem gets worse.

Tip: WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE

Colour Code Red

Red is the decision making stage, now you need to decide on your actions, this is the stage when you will know what to do, even its flight or fight. Must I use my firearm to protect myself and family, must I run, must I hide, and must I take cover. Fight or Flight, almost no time to decide!

Tip: MAKE THE DECISION AND LIVE WITH IT

Colour Code Black

This is the action phase of the codes; you now need to act upon your decision, if you going to use your firearm to protect yourself and use lethal force, then it must be done with much commitment. If you are going to run, then do so with much passion. You must know that you cannot give up and do nothing, as you know doing nothing will not help you in survival.

Reaction and action are two different things. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you are in a dream state mindset, you have to react to his action, you will be slower. That’s why you need to pay attention to your surroundings and use every human sense that was given to you to survive and protect your family.

Tip: NEVER GIVE UP, FIGHT UNTIL THE LIGHTS GO OUT!

Happy Sunday and what has almost drawn to an end, HAPPPPPPY MOTHERS Day!

In search of something interesting to share with you I came across the following information that was put together by the Low-Velder. The information originates from the Book, Home Invasion written by Prof Rudolph Zinn from the Institute of Security Studies. If you can get your hands on a copy, grab it and take the time to digest its valuable contents. Here's a peak at;

WHAT CRIMINALS DON'T WANT YOU TO KNOW!

Security tips from the experts to help you secure your home and personal security.

There is a very real threat of becoming careless about personal security, despite it being a continued issue for many South Africans.

In his book, Home Invasion: Robbers disclose what you should know, Prof Rudolph Zinn gives inside info about how convicted perpetrators planned and executed house burglaries.
Zinn is a senior lecturer in forensic and crime investigation at Unisa.

Profiling perpetrators

Thirty research subjects who were interviewed during Zinn’s research conformed to the following:
• All were men, except for two women who were convicted as accessories
• They represented SA’s racial demographic profile
• 83% were SA citizens and the rest were from other African countries
• They were aged 19 to 26
• On average they would form a group of four during an attack
• Only 20% had completed high school
• 76% were unemployed but a number of these had chosen to make money solely from burglaries
• 80% had not received any type of military- or security-related training and the rest had been employed as security guards or worked in the police or military
• All were experienced criminals
• Each admitted to having committed approximately 103 crimes over a seven-year period before being arrested for the first time
• 70% came from what was described as dysfunctional or broken homes
• A distinctive characteristic was the willingness to use lethal violence against victims.

Why burglars burgle

• 97% stated the primary factor was economic gain
• 22% had also been involved in farm attacks
• 65% of what was stolen was spent on cars, clothes, drugs, and alcohol and 35% was spent on survival, i.e. food and rent
• The victims were targeted because of their wealth and other demographical factors such as race played no part
• A contributory factor was the existence of role-models in their communities who were criminals and were wealthy because of this
• 80% stated that their families, friends and acquaintance knew that they were involved in crime
• Residential robbery was chosen because it resulted in more money more quickly and chances of being caught were seen as very low
• All the perpetrators started with non-violent property crimes.

Choosing a target

• 63% would travel between 10 and 30 minutes by vehicle from where they lived to commit a residential robbery, however, most would travel for much longer if the target was deemed lucrative enough.
• 77% chose targets for whom they had some inside information
• They would prefer targets in neighbourhoods that had many entrance and exit points with easy access to main roads
• They would tend to focus on middle-class households.

Planning and executing

• They spent some time prior to the attack doing surveillance; this could be as little as 30 minutes
• 57% carried out residential robberies between 19:00 and 00:00, 14% between 03:00 and 07:00 and 7% between 10:00 and 12:00
• The most common way to access a property was to break in by forcing locks on gates or doors, breaking windows or disabling electric fences and climbing over the walls
• Some used exceptions to this by attacking houses where there were social functions as they could simply walk through gates or doors that were left open
• Beforehand they would try and identify the numbers and locations of everyone in the house
• They would spend anywhere between 30 minutes and four hours inside a house.
The use of violence
• All used violence or the threat thereof when entering a residence to overcome resistance from the victims
• 97% used fi****ms – they preferred pistols as these were easy to conceal and they liked the sound the weapon made when cocking it as this could intimidate victims.
• 67% admitted committing assault, 30% to murder, 13% to r**e and 13% to torturing victims
• The torture most frequently mentioned was pouring boiling water or melted plastic on the victims or burning them with household instruments, like irons
• They would most likely target women or children for torture during a robbery to force the male or adult to provide the information they required.

Protect yourself

• Have a number of small dogs inside the house that will bark when they become aware of suspicious activity outside
• Teach them not to take food from strangers as perpetrators will not hesitate to poison them
• Install razor wire or electric security fences around the entire perimeter of the house
• Install pre-warning alarm systems such as sensors in the garden, along the outside walls, on the roof and in the ceiling
• Subscribe to an armed response service
• Install security lights outside, especially sensor lights in front of bedrooms
• Install CCTV systems and an intercom system
• Have layers of security as opposed to a single security system
• Install strong doors and security gates with good quality locks
• Install door alarms that are activated when residents are at home
• Ensure curtains are drawn at night to prevent perpetrators from identifying the movement in the house
• Set up a “secure room” to which residents can escape once they are aware of an attack
• Panic buttons should be placed where residents are most likely to need them
• Always check for signs of forced entry when entering or leaving your home
• Keep a copy of the ID book of any employees who have access to or work at the house including names and contact details of their relatives.

Minimising personal risk during a burglary

• Don’t make any sudden movements or noise
• Remain calm
• Keep your hands visible, but do not raise them above your head as the perpetrator could think you are signalling for help
• Demonstrate willingness to cooperate by either pleading for your life, or asking not to be hurt and saying that they can take what they want.

Bellville Pistol Club Food Drive in support of THE INSPIRED NETWORK - Run by Jenny Lucas

Good morning All, earlier this week on Heart FM, Jenny Lucas from THE INSPIRED NETWORK (Which is a local charity organisation), provided feedback on how successful the last charity drive was and thanked all of us from BPC that had supported the food drive.

While we appreciate that everyone is battling in some or other way and donating is very difficult at this time, Jenny was saying that she receives no support from Government and relies or local business and private donors.

We thought in the interest of keeping donations small and effective, to look at something like a pocket of potatoes that is very versatile and that can be put to good use. So we have put a price to donations of R40.00 which Jenny will use to buy potatoes and veg for the groups of people dependant on her for support.

If you can scratch R40.00 together and pay it into the Bellville Pistol Club account, that will be absolutely wonderful and it will go a long way to supporting the people Jenny cares for, who do not know where their next meal is coming from.

Bank details:
Bellville Pistol Club

Account no: 10 1989 7546
Branch code: 101 910

VERY IMPORTANT: Please use your NAME & include the word CHARITY so we can allocate the income as a donation.

Please feel free to call me if you have any questions.

Thank you for your support!
