The answer to an increase in gun crimes is not having more people with firearms.
This, according to CEO of Air Support Tactical Security, Dirk Barnes, who says although a firearm is beneficial in some circumstances, businesses as well as citizens need to assess their own level of external exposure.
He says an increase in more persons having Firearm User’s Licenses would not automatically solve the issue. Mr. Barnes believes many people become targets with what is visible to criminals, and is urging all to make themselves a deterrent.
Mr. Barnes is also cautioning citizens to plan ahead and pay attention to their behaviour when approaching their homes. He adds that Neighbourhood Watch Programmes are critical at this time.
