Protect Cars and Bikes
HOW TO PROTECT YOUR CAR
Always lock your car doors. Be certain all windows are completely closed. When driving, keep all doors locked. It is best to park in attended lots. If you must leave a key with the attendant, leave only the ignition key. In all cases lock your car. At night, park only in well-lighted areas. If you have a garage, the single lock on the door is inadequate to keep intruders from prying up the opposite side and crawling in. One of three methods may be used to secure
the door: (1) Add another bolt and padlock on the opposite side, or (2) Install a pair of cane bolts on the inside-only operable from the inside, or (3) Add a top center hasp. Any person of average height can operate this locking device. The hasp must be of hardened steel and installed with carriage bolts through the door or gate. Use large washers on the inside. After the nuts are secured, deface the threads of the bolt ends with a hammer to keep the nuts from being removed. In every case, use a minimum standard exterior padlock. Don't hide a key outside. Most hiding places are obvious to the burglar,
Never leave a padlock unlocked. This is an invitation to have the padlock removed so that a key can be made, and the lock returned to its position. Later, the burglar returns when no one is home and enters at his leisure, using this key.
HOW TO PROTECT BICYCLES
You don't leave your car unlocked, so treat your bicycle the same way. Use an approved chain and padlock whenever you are not on the seat! Lock it to the garage - with a 3/8" X 6 eye screw fastened to a stud. The eye screw should be at least 3 feet above the floor, because this makes using a pry bar much more difficult. Whenever you lock your bike in a public place, chain it to a secure rack or stanchion through the frame and a wheel. Keep the chain as high above the ground as the bike will allow. This reduces the leverage for a pry bar or bolt cutter attack,
MINIMUM STANDARD FOR APPROVED CHAIN must be at least 5/16" hardened steel alloy. Links must be of continuous welded construction. Lighter chain, or chain with open links simply will not withstand boit cutting attacks. Don't GIVE your bicycle away! Using anything less will invite its theft.
HOW TO PROTECT MOTORCYCLES
These expensive bikes require additional security measures. They must be secured with a mated 3/8" hardened steel alloy chain and a padlock of equal strength. Sheathed cable has not proven to be a satisfactory deterrent to theft.
LIGHTING
Good exterior lighting is important, particularly when the yard area is obscured by high, non-removable shrubbery. The best possible location for outside lights is under the caves. This makes ground level assault more difficult. You can buy an inexpensive timer or photo electric cell which will automatically turn the lights on at dusk and turn them off at dawn.

California Voters Lack Commom Sense
Opinion/Research
This Is How Stupid California Voters Are:
When Kamala Harris was the California AG, she wrote Proposition 47 which paves the way for the 'Smash and Grab' robberies allowing someone to steal $950 in merchandise and hardly be punished and the vendors could be arrested for stopping them. So in November 2024 the voters passed Proposition 36, which gutted Proposition 47. You would think they wouldn't want anymore of Kamala Harris. However, she is expected to be the next leading candidate for Governor.
That isn't ignorant. That is STUPID.

ICE RAIDS
DEPORTATIONS/OPINION
They're all up in arms over whether or not ICE will enter churches or schools to apprehend ILLEGALS. I was on Christmas leave from Officer Basic School when Bush 41 went after Manuel Noriega in Panama. I watched our invasion on ABC, channel 8 (Tulsa). Anyway, Noriega held up to hide in a Catholic Church. The US Military didn't barge in. Instead they called in an Army Psychological Operations (PSYOP) Unit and the blasted Heavy Metal music non stop until he finally gave up.
Whatever it takes!

Location Importance And Crime
Location Importance And Crime
When looking to buy a house, the location of the house is very important. Most people want to buy a home in a decent neighborhood, as they have the intention to remain at their home for many years to come. If someone is planning to buy a home strictly for the resale value, then the location will prove to be even more important. The resale factor of a home is very dependant on the location, simply because someone wouldn't want to buy a home that wasn't in a decent neighborhood.
When buying a home, the general rule of thumb is to purchase a home that will appeal to a large number of potential buyers. To do this, you'll need to look at the location of the home. The community is very important, especially in terms of crime. If you buy a home in a neighborhood that is well known for crime you'll more than likely have difficulty when you try to sale. Bad neighborhoods generally spark little to no interest. These days, people want to buy homes in the best possible neighborhoods that they can afford.
When buying your home, you should always narrow the choices down a few of the best cities around you. You'll want to buy your home in a community that has a very stable economy and plenty of commercial and business districts. This way, when you decide to sell your house, you can rest assured that your house is in a good selling area. You should also look at the crime statistics for the area as well. If the crime rate is high, you should look into another area.
You should also look into the local school system as well. Even though you may not have kids now, you should always think about the future. A home that is within a short distance to shopping centers and quality schools are always easy to sale. If you buy a home that is in a bad neighborhood and has poor schools, you'll quickly regret that decision. If you can't afford to purchase a home that is in a good location, you should work on your credit and save up some money until you are able to purchase a home that is in a desirable location.
Although the size of a home is important, the location is one of the most important aspects to buying a home. The location is important for those living in the home as well as the resale value. A home that is in a desirable location is always easy to sale, for the simple fact that the location speaks for itself. If you've been thinking about buying a home for the resale value - you should always make sure that you pay close attention to the location.

Protect Homes From Intruders
Protect Homes From Intruders
SAFETY AT YOUR FRONT DOOR
1. Never automatically open your front door. Make sure you know your caller's identity before admitting him.
2. If the person at your door is a stranger, ask for identification to be passed under
the door. If he is unable to do this, do not admit him.
3. It is advisable to have a wide angle viewer (peep-hole) in the door so that you can check a person's identity without unlocking your door.
HOME SAFETY
1. All doors in your home leading to the outside should have deadbolt locks.
2. When away at night, leave a light burning,
3. Do not leave a key over a door or under al mat.
The single lock on a garage door is inadequate to keep intruders from prying up
the opposite side and crawling in. Use a padlock. But never leave it unlocked.
This is an invitation to have the padlock removed so that a key can be made,
and the lock returned to its position. Later, the burglar returns when no one is
home and enters at his leisure, using "his" key.
S. Mark your valuables and keep an accurate record of all most valuable
possessions.
When leaving on a trip:
A. Stop all deliveries.
B. Connect a light to a timer.
C. Notify the police and have a neighbor check your home periodically.
D. Have someone maintain your lawn. Call a concerned neighbor. If you see a suspicious person, car or situation, contact the police.
SAFETY FOR THE APARTMENT DWELLER
1. If you live in an apartment building with an intercom system to the front door, make sure the landlord keeps it in operating order.
2. Never admit anyone unless you are expecting him or know him.
3. Never admit anyone to the building who is there to see another tenant or to deliver something to another apartment.
4. Anyone asking admission so that he can do some work for another tenant should not be admitted, but should be referred to the building manager.
5. If you see someone in your building who looks out of place or is acting suspiciously, contact the police.

How Much Can You Sue For in a Wrongful Death Case?
How Much Can You Sue For in a Wrongful Death Case?
Negligent acts, failures to act, and deliberate conduct sometimes lead to injures so severe that the victim does not survive can be classified as “wrongful death.”
Seeking Justice for Your Loved One’s Death
Wrongful death is the most serious claim the Clauson Law Firm handles. The loss of life due to the negligence of another person is a tragedy that could have been avoided if only the wrongdoer acted with appropriate care.
Unlike other claims where a financial loss or property damage can be made right by the insurance company writing a check, no amount of money can compensate a spouse, a child, or a parent for the unnecessary death of their loved one. The only recourse we have to seek justice for wrongful death is to file a lawsuit seeking financial restitution from the person responsible for the death.
How much can you sue for? – North Carolina does not limit the amount
Every state has its laws regarding how wrongful death claims are adjudicated. In North Carolina, there are statutory rules that apply to all claims and lawsuits filed to recover compensation from the negligent or reckless party.
North Carolina has no cap on the amount you can recover in a wrongful death claim. The size of any settlement or money judgment is determined by all the facts and circumstances of the individual case.
How is the size of a wrongful death settlement determined?
The amount of a wrongful death settlement or a jury verdict is based on how these factors apply to the injury and death of your loved one.`
- expenses for medical care, treatment, and hospitalization
- the pain and suffering experienced by the decedent
- funeral expenses
- the monetary value of the decedent to the person(s) entitled to receive the settlement proceeds
- including the lost net income of the person who died
- value of the lost services, protection, care, and assistance of the decedent, whether voluntary or obligatory to the person(s) entitled to receive the settlement proceeds.
- value of the loss of the decedent’s society, companionship, comfort, guidance, and advice to the person(s) entitled to receive the settlement proceeds
- punitive damages the decedent could have recovered for the injury if they survived, and for their death, if caused through malice or willful or wanton conduct.
How much time do you have to sue before it’s too late?
The statute of limitation for a wrongful death claim in North Carolina is two years from the person’s death. But the statute of limitation for a personal injury lawsuit is three years.
That means that if the victim dies more than 12 months after suffering the injury that ultimately causes their death, the statute of limitation for the personal injury could run out before the wrongful death statute does. If the time runs out for a personal injury suit before the time to sue for wrongful death, then you are barred from filing the death claim, even if it’s less than two years from the date of death.
Sound complicated? That’s why the Clauson Law Firm’s experience is so valuable as your North Carolina wrongful death attorney. Our team of skilled lawyers, investigators, paralegals, and support staff are experts dealing with these complicated issues and exercising their professional judgment to protect you from missing deadlines or assessing your own family’s claims.
How can Contributory Negligence interfere with winning compensation?
North Carolina follows the legal theory called “Contributory Negligence.” Large insurance companies often try to block a plaintiff’s claim.
Under the contributory negligence law, if the decedent was negligent in the least during the incident leading to their injury or death, then no compensation or recovery can be obtained by suit against the party primarily responsible for the victim’s injuries.
The Clauson Law Firm team knows how to confront such an argument and how to protect your case from being harmed by an unfair claim that your family member contributed negligence to their injury and death.
There is also an exception to the rule. If the primary wrongdoer had the “last clear chance” to prevent the event causing the victim’s injury, then the decedent’s negligence may not be used to defeat the wrongful death claim. As you can see

Criminology Views on Crime Exposed
Criminology Views on Crime Exposed
Criminology is a theoretical science that is used in order to try to explain not only the relationship between the criminal and society, but also the relation of judiciary committee in the social setting and the criminal element in the social setting as well. By looking at different pieces of the scientific puzzle, it is possible for many people to come up with theories to explain how society functions with crime, in response to it and as a means to perpetuate the crimes. Through these specific theories, it is possible for individuals to understand some different stances on how crime is created in a society and how a society may influence an individual's decision to commit a particular crime. In some cases, it is also used in order to determine how time and the general implications on moral and immoral behavior in a society. This can be one of the biggest considerations that are taken when a government is thinking about making an amendment to their laws.
For example, homosexuality was considered, for a long time, to be illegal within the United Kingdom, including England. However, what ended up happening in 1967 was that a law was passed that allowed individuals to act in homosexual ways if they chose to, but only if the individual was over the age of 21. This helps to expose that there was likely nothing wrong with the specific act, but the people of the time that viewed the act. This is how criminology approaches crime. They look at the specific crime, and then look to determine how society or laws may have affected the crime at that period of time. As a result, criminologists are able to use these crimes and examples in order to understand more fully how individuals react in a society when it comes to laws and regulations. Criminology does not study crimes and specific laws. Rather, they simply study the reactions between individuals that are exposed to this type of situation. This helps them to be able to accurately understand how society functions. Crime seems to be an inevitable part of society. If we can one day understand why this is so, we stand a better chance of being able to one day eliminate crime from different societies.
Criminology is a unique field because it does not try to eliminate crime conclusively right now. They understand that first it is necessary to research and understand how society and crime are interrelated in different societies. Once this is clearly understood, we can begin to eliminate the criminal elements within a society. Because there are so many different societies, and crime does not relate the same way in all of them, it is very important to make sure that blanket theories are not created in order to try to attack crime on all points within the world. Rather, there are different rules and structures that play within different areas and may affect crime. Criminology views crime as something that cannot be avoided at the current time, but perhaps could be at some point when we understand more about interactions between the community and the individual.

Visiting Mexico? Don't Be a Victim to Crime
Visiting Mexico? Don't Be a Victim to Crime
If you are planning a trip to Mexico, there are a number of important factors that you should first consider and prepare for. These factors are considered safety precautions. Traveling to Mexico is fun, but it can be also dangerous, especially if you don't know what to do or how to protect yourself.
When visiting Mexico it is important to register with the United States Travel Registry to ensure that the government knows that you are leaving the country. This is the first step to staying safe while in Mexico. In the event that you become the victim of a crime, you will receive immediate government assistance. When using the internet to register with the United States Travel Registry, be sure to leave a detailed itinerary of your plans on your computer.
You should also make sure that you leave information regarding your travel plans with a close friend, family member, co-worker, or neighbor. You are encouraged to make copies of your airline tickets, as well as your passport. You want to take a copy with you and leave another copy at home. This will help verify your location if something should go awry. You should also designate someone you know as your emergency contact.
Use common sense in the hotels, on busses, or walking in the streets of Mexico. Don't take taxicabs that you have just waved down on the streets. Many crimes are being reported of people who haven't previously arranged for taxis. You should also never carry large amounts of cash, flashy jewelry, or extra credit cards with you. When you are a tourist, shady people will already notice you and single you out. Be on the lookout for and avoid these individuals at all costs.
If you think that you know all there is to Mexico you are most often wrong. Public drinking is often shown in films as the norm, however this is a crime and you can be arrested for being intoxicated in public. You should also use caution when drinking in nightclubs or bars during the evening hours. People who wish to victimize tourists often drug them.
You should always use caution, no matter where you are. Despite being cautionary at all times, you should also use caution when traveling by bus and other forms of public transportation. You should always stay alert during nighttime travel and while traveling during busy bus hours. It is becoming more common for tourists to be mugged while riding on the busses in Mexico. The busses where these crimes are taking place are often the cheapest forms of travel. You may want to ride first class and have someone that you know and trust with you.
If you need help while in Mexico you should contact the United States Embassy. There is also a twenty-four hour hotline for the Mexican Ministry of Tourism. There is also a Mexican version of 911; it is 060 for Mexico City, and 066 for other areas of Mexico. This will put you in contact with Mexican officials immediately. There is also a Mexican Red Cross that will help if you are injured and need medical help. The Red Cross is free of charge and they will provide basic medical attention.
The above mentioned precautionary measures and important phone number are just a few of the many that you should know. Despite what you believe, staying safe while on vacation in Mexico shouldn't begin as soon as you arrive. You should start taking precautionary measures before you leave for your vacation.

Firearms License Requirements For Firearms For Sale Business Owners
Firearms License Requirements For Firearms For Sale Business Owners
If you’re thinking of offering firearms for sale, or want to collect different types of guns, or fire arms, you have to get a federal gun permit first. The common firearms license requirements are discussed here so better read on.
There are different gun ownership rules and regulations from one state to another. If you are planning to open a shop that has firearms for sale, or want to be a curio or relic collector in the gun business, you are actually required to obtain the so called federal gun permit or the federal fire arms license (FFL). To learn more about the firearms license requirements or the FFL requirements, read and understand the following:
For one, you should be at least twenty one years old or older. Do not even think about faking your birth certificate during your application because for sure, the authorities will find out, and you may be banned from getting the license. A person thinking of owning a gun or engaging in the business of firearms for sale should also not have any record of violating the Gun Control Act, or should not have been prohibited by the court to possess fire arms or possess ammunition.
There are two types of forms that people applying for a federal gun permit could fill out. There’s the ATF form 7, also considered as the basic application form, and the ATF form 7CR which is the one handed out to a person interested in being a licensed relic and curio collector. Of course, one of the firearms license requirements is for you to fill out the form with genuine and with complete information. You should also submit all necessary FFL requirements such as your fingerprint specimen, a recent passport photograph, and so on.
Whether you wish to offer to other people different firearms for sale or you want to collect fire arms
Other firearms license requirements or FFL requirements that you should become aware of before you run a firearms for sale business include: notifying the Chief of Police in your area of your intention to apply for the permit and where the actual location of the business will be; proof that the location will be secure enough and would have safety devices not only for your own safety but also for the safety of the neighborhood you’re in; and so forth.
