Jeff Fangman, Home Security Expert, 3/18/20

This is a special pandemic edition of the Notorious Interview, which I am making public for everybody. With all that is going on, one of the things that people have gotten interested in is the question of security and home protection. It makes sense. Suddenly, the entire family is home, the kids are being homeschooled, and families have stocked up on water, food, medicine, the essentials. Many of them have started wondering, "How do I protect my family in case of civil unrest?" I have received several questions from friends of mine in real estate who know that I am a fairly serious shooter: I shoot USPSA, IDA, 3-gun (none of them well, mind you, but that doesn't mean I'm not trying), and have been interested in the subject for a while now. But that doesn't make me an expert, so I was leery of advising anybody. Well, I happen to know someone who is an expert (even if he hates saying he is) and is in the real estate industry after 27 years as a United States Marine, reaching the rank of Master Gunnery Sergeant, the highest enlisted rank in the Marines. One of his duties was to do property protection of senior officers, which means the personal residences of generals. There are, of course, other experts in home security in the world, but Jeff is someone who has been trained, who did the work at the highest levels of the military, and knows his stuff. I thought his perspective would be valuable for people who find themselves worried about protecting their families, so wanted to get him on a quick podcast and share it with you.
