If you’re a carjacking victim, then your life and safety are at risk BIG TIME. You must be ready to be smart about protecting yourself! This intended victim took the carjacker for a ride, and that was great strategy.

Having a non-lethal tool like a good, strong OC spray (oleoresin capsicum) is a useful part of your defensive toolkit if it’s legal in your jurisdiction. This is how it can be used effectively! Do you carry one?

This Colorado Sheriff’s Officer had to be fast to protect himself from the threat coming his way. 1.23 seconds from stimulus to shot, from duty holster! Could you do that?

This clerk wasn’t having it against these robbers, and his attitude is exemplary! If you have Attitude, Skills, and Plan in place, you can overcome when danger comes your way.

These car thieves run for their lives when they realize the jig is up! If you’ve ever dealt with a car thief (as I have), you know it can be scary but if your attitude, skills, and plan are thought through in advance you can thwart their intent and not put yourself at risk like this homeowner did...

When you chase fleeing felons, you continue to place yourself in risk of grievous bodily harm. If you’re a sworn law enforcement officer that is a risk you’re sworn to take, but for the rest of us it’s a bad gamble. This is a stark reminder of why.

These robbers remind us that we must only resist robbers if we can negate their force advantage and initiative. This jewelry store robbery shows how bad an outcome can be if we don’t have attitude, skills, and plan.

This real-life zombie had PCP and marijuana in his system, and that combo made him utterly unfazed when the officer hit him with .40S&W rounds 3 times. Are you prepared for your handgun not to stop the threat the first, second, or third time?

We should be thankful that if robbers exist in this world, at least they tend to be dumb. The guy who held him in the store was a HUGE BRUTE!

Police say that this elderly man attacked on the street was likely randomly targeted just because he was there. That’s the reality of self-defense, friends! This is why we talk about having attitude, skills, and plan in place to cover your ASP.

The perp in this video is a soldier home on leave who got drunk and, as we see, punches a security guard. Her ordeal teaches all self-defenders about being smart in your self protection!

I can’t believe this woman jumps on her car hood to stop this car thief! It might not have been the safest way to stop them, but it worked so props to her.

Pizza Shop Owner Stops Attacker Using Pizza Stone

This pizza shop owner in Israel wasn’t messing around! He had a pizza stone handy, and used that environmental weapon well. Have you thought about what’s in your environment that can help protect you if you used it?

This alert defender gets the drop on a carjacker because he was alert and aware. He sent me this surveillance footage that isn’t online anywhere else…and I think his reaction is pretty good! He didn’t want to be identified.

This officer had to act fast and make a decision to shoot, and THEN put shots on target at 20 yards. While shots like this aren’t common, they’re not unheard of either. Are you capable of taking this shot?

I hate negative outcomes like this robbery, but they are important for us to consider as we practice Active Self Protection. Half-hearted Resistance doesn’t cut it to protect against a robbery!

When it’s time to resist an armed robber, make sure you take the fight to them. This store owner did it twice in one robbery! (not recommended but hey, it worked for him!)

It’s outdated advice to say to people to always comply in a robbery. It CAN be an effective survival strategy sometimes, but as this shows, compliance has its limits as well.
