Reader Robert R. alerted me to this “must read” article: Guns Stolen in Violent Gilroy [California] Home Invasion Found. Robert noted: “The man was assaulted and bound as he arrived home at 9 p.m. They struck when they could hide in the darkness near his home, when he was most vulnerable (exiting his vehicle/entering home). One of the suspects knew the man and was his neighbor. Good OPSEC and situational awareness are very important in preventing crimes. Good lighting around the home and cutting down on any vegetation where someone could hide is a good measure to take to prevent these kind of ambushes. In this story the man is lucky because he survived and he is getting all his guns back. When things get worse in the future, gangs will target people who live alone, or in single family ranch properties. They are geographically separated and the criminals know they have all the time in the world to torture, rape, rob, and murder you and your family. Be a very hard target!“
