Kielma Talks About This a Lot: HOME SECURITY

Gregg Kielma of Tactical K Training and Firearms advises and teaches during his CCW classes, a safe home doesn’t happen by accident. We need to think about smart habits, layered security, and a little preparation. Whether you live in a quiet neighborhood or a busy community, taking proactive steps can dramatically reduce risks and increase peace of mind.

• Doors & Locks: Use quality deadbolts, reinforced strike plates, and solid-core doors.

• Windows: Install locks, security film, or sensors, especially on ground-level windows.

• Garage & Sliding Doors: These are common weak spots. Reinforce them and keep them locked at all times.

Kielma Suggests: Use Lighting to Your Advantage

• Exterior Lighting: Motion-activated lights deter intruders and improve visibility.

• Interior Lighting: Timers or smart bulbs make your home look occupied even when you’re away.

• Cameras: Modern systems offer real-time alerts and cloud storage.

• Alarms & Sensors: Door, window, and glass-break sensors add another layer of protection.

• Smart Locks: Control access remotely and track who enters your home.

 

• Keep doors locked—even when you’re home.

• Don’t advertise vacations on social media.

• Get to know your neighbors; community awareness is a powerful tool. 

For those who choose to keep firearms for home defense, secure storage and proper training are essential. At Tactical K Training and Firearms, we emphasize safety, readiness, and responsible ownership so you can protect your home with confidence.
