The title is outlandish and I intended for it to be as such, the last few days this has been a constant thought due to podcast I have listened to centering around serial killerconfessions and unsolved murder cases.
The most notable in my opinion was BTK and the tactics he applied, his use of burglary and ambush are interesting. I know nothing is simple, one could surmise if the victim had simply patrolled the interior of the home BTK would have been found and another variable added to an already complex situation. Of course if one had this forethought, the would be victim would recognize the value having a firarm at the ready. To compare modern opinions on self defense to the time frame in which BTK operated is to compare an apple to a orange. No matter the era this action would still leave the victim with a armed and murderous predator at arms length away.
Let's take a moment and discuss behavior and tactics we can employe in our day to day lives to make our homes and families safer.
