This gas station encounter wasn’t gang- or drug-related and wasn’t a robbery, either. How would you have handled it as a self-protector? A deadly force encounter like this is scary if you don’t have attitude, skills, AND plan ready.

Being in a house of worship is not enough to protect you from being assaulted. (I am a pastor; I know it well!) This guard wasn’t ready with attitude, skills, and plan to stop this man assaulting him, and that’s a big lesson for all of us.

This off duty cop could be any of us who carry for their personal protection. This is why we say half-hearted resistance doesn’t help!

In this Rochambeau, gun beats hammer! This off duty cop waits his turn and launches a perfect counter-ambush to end the threat to everyone in the store. Lots of lessons for us all here!

This manager did a good job fighting off the effects of the pepper spray! (notice what it did to the customer) He also teaches us all some good lessons about firearms and self-defense. Do you think about defending yourself after being sprayed?

These clerks show that you can make a LOT of mistakes and still beat a robber if you do some of the most important things right! Hopefully this video makes us all consider our plan to supplement our attitude and skills.

The shop owner in this video has seen some stuff as a member of the Peshmerga, and he isn’t having it from this robber! Do you think he was smart to spray him?

Maybe this mom has warrant for being irate…but firearms are only a tool of last resort! Doing stuff like this can land you in prison for a long...

This guard had the cards stacked against him with these robbers, but I think he did pretty well given the circumstances. Have you trained disarms against resisting partners?
