Our boss sent us information about the man, and cautioned us to be careful in the field. I wrote a response and replied to All. Then I realized it was a pretty good post, so here it is.

Are You Prepared?
The boss sent out an e-mail to the field people today because a desperado is loose in Southern Illinois. This guy is a genuine bad man and he is evidently in deep Southern Illinois now. He has been wounded, so he is probably as desperate as a desperado can be. Click Here or on the wanted poster to see the news report about him.

"There are precautions that many of us neglect. We spend most of our time at home, so our homes
should be secured as well as possible.
When you come home from work assess your house to make sure it has not
been invaded while you were gone. If you
have been broken into, don’t clear the house yourself. Call 911 and have police clear your
house. Avoid confronting burglars if at
all possible. Use deadbolts on all entry
doors. Close your garage if you are not
working there. Lock the man-door between
the garage and house if they are attached.
Have a visible 911 address sign at your driveway for emergency
responders to see. Keep your guns locked
in a safe when you are not using or carrying them. There was a recent burglary in Franklin
County (Illinois) where the burglar stole a firearm and had a rolling shootout
with police. He was shot and killed by
police, but that shootout would not have happened if firearms had been
secured. Get firearms/concealed carry
training if you have not already done so.
You must stay within the law in your own home if you use deadly force to
protect yourself and your family. Know
how quickly you can reach weapons from anywhere in your home. Discuss these
things with your family in advance and know what everyone should do during a
home invasion.
Lock your work truck when you are away from it. Be alert when you return to it. Do not get in the truck with a
carjacker. You might survive if you
resist/run/fight. You will be killed if
you go with a carjacker/kidnapper. That’s
what they do. Always carry a walking
stick or substantial Biltmore stick when you are away from your truck. Don’t let an attacker get his hands on you
unless you want to do hand-to-hand combat to save your own life. Alertness is a huge advantage. Escaping/deflecting/avoiding
an attacker is preferable to fighting for your life. Your responsibility for your family changes
the dynamics of an attack, so do your research, training, and preparation for
those possibilities."
We are having big, bad T-storms tonight, so maybe this guy will feel like surrendering tomorrow.

Sage words. Hope that guy gets caught before anyone else gets hurt.
