I recieved an interesting email from my Final
Option Tactics partner today that I must share with each of you. Below
is an excellent example of someone we all probably know, heck it may
even by YOU!
This article certainly applies to
Tweeting, Facebook, blogging, myspace, pininterest, etc. When it comes to social networking think before you post!
Bob is a concealed carry,
pro-gun guy who thinks he is protecting his family. BUT, his truck
displays NRA stickers and his mini-van has “family” type stickers, which
advertise where I can find a gun to steal, potential victims to rob
from, steal, etc.
His wife blogs endlessly about everything they do.
Right now, they are in Texas and are detailing all their
activities. While they are away, their kids are at home being watched
by his wife’s elderly father. Pictures of each of their kids and their
home (interior and exterior floor plans – to show off all the work they
have done to it) are posted on their public blog and Facebook.
Sally (wife) might as well
post her social security number online. They unknowing give all the intell to ruin
their lives in a 1,000 different ways. From the blog alone anyone can know
everything about their schedule so someone could do a home invasion, hold a
kid hostage, force the old man to expose all their valuables to steal.
So,
what is the point in home security and carrying a gun when you publicly
gush endlessly about every intimate detail about your family for ALL
the world to see!
Unfortunately
there have been
too many people seriously hurt by sharing too much information via the
internet. Remember just like good guys use all the great technology to
help find criminals; criminals also know how to use modern technology to
commit crimes of varying degrees on innocent citizens.
There
is no telling how many lives have been affected by criminals who used
the very information either you or a family member posted on internet.
Put some thought into what you put out on the internet as once it's
posted it's out there forever and cannot be taken back.
