Investigate & Verify
We have an aging society.
I grew up in a hi-risk industry, and have my experiences in regard to Professional Locks, Safes and Alarm Systems.
So...
When some folks I know informed me an Alarm Representative was going to be in their neighborhood, I showed up.
I showed by butt, was rude, and not very nice.
I later apologized.
I "made it clear" none my kind were going to be subjected to Fear or Scare tactics in selling.
There would NO pressure sales, no sensationalism , and no bull chips.
I am dead serious when I share I lit into him like white on rice and he jumped back and had a look of "oh crap, I just pissed this guy off!"
I was meaner than a junk yard dawg, and he was not going to enter property.
He could not give me copies of his ID, his license to do business fast enough.
He even had the Attorney General's phone, and BBB's phone and references with phone, fax and emails.
He left, knowing I was going to check this all out.
"Listen, I suppose you have some "free" offerings you are going to pass out, for demo's, test and evaluation for your company, and free advertising" - I said.
Before he could reply I added " I want them for some folks".
-One person has a 100 year old mom living with them.
She has her 25ACP pistol, she has had a really long time.
Yes, she knows how to shoot it.
Her daughter and son-in-law have different schedules, so she is often alone.
She cannot drive, instead has these services come pick her up, and take her places, like church functions, or to see her friends in nursing homes, or assisted living or hospice...to get with others to see a movie, or a play...even take a "old folks pottery class".
She will go share with others, just a old women that will assist folks with stuff she has been through.
Like for a great grandson and she was "Show-n-Tell" for a history subject.
Just surrounded by students , and she was telling how it was...
-One person does not have a hip right now, awaiting infection to heal, then try the hip surgery again.
The last fall , detached a retina.
It sucks to be 38 years old, get into a car wreck and be invalid for the most part.
No Recoil orders, and a Ruger MKI is what they keep handy with the Marlin 60 as well.
There is a real chance, this person will have to lose a foot, and there fore have to use a wheel chair, and we don't know about the hip or prothetic leg.
I ended up getting 3 Free set ups.
Free install, reduced rates, for 60 months, as by law around here one cannot write "forever", instead must put down a time limit.
I mean these rates are well below what others are paying.
If they move, the system moves with them.
The setting include others, aware of the plan of action.
Practiced plans, for 24/7/52.
Systems are wireless back up, and have key chain remotes, , meaning, if the 100 yr lady, is sitting in the shade of carport, snapping beans, and just outside the kitchen door has a problem - hit the panic button, and that audible alarm is going off, and someone will come running.
All sorts of things have been done, to keep these folks safe.
They have plans, keep tabs and have codes they use, little ones, simple still they are "neighborly" .
Some folks do have professional alarms near them, they can afford the systems they have.
I checked this out, had one with more legal skills than I read the contracts and fine print.
We got things in writing.
I and another were right there when these systems were installed, as we don't allow workers in a home, with some folks, by themselves.
The company checked out, very professional, and the techs were too.
Just another tool in the tool box for these folks.
One had been wanting a new system, especially when they asked how easy it would be to bypass the system they had and it took me about 15 seconds to render it - useless.
I apologized to the alarm rep, because I was awful, I really was.
I assure you this guy will never say to anyone, that a gun is a bad idea, as I was pretty clear, on my thought on alarms, and how one is not supposed to defend.
He is quite aware of the legal in regard to deadly force around here too.
"You make the Drill Sargent my older brother had sound like a wimp" - he said.
Then I promptly jumped his case for disrespecting the Military.
This 100 yr lady is a itty bitty thing " I shrunk, I was not that big to begin with" she shares.
She might weigh 80 pounds sopping wet, with her 4 post cane.
In her day, she has shared what all she did , including hunting, fishing, and her Service to this Country.
She still has her nicer guns, and there are some in the house...but she cannot do what she once did.
Just another tool in the toolbox, if investigated and verified.
Any one of us can get down, like the 38 year old.
Many of us have aging parents or grandparents.
We all know someone with physical limits, be they the gal expecting , or the person in a wheel chair, or just a 100 yr old lady that likes to snap beans, watch her birds, and read outside.
