You don’t get to set the circumstances of dealing with robbers, and anyone with small children has to integrate them into their defensive plan. For this off duty cop, holding his son was no hindrance to helping two robbers take the Room Temperature Challenge!

Against multiple robbers, unarmed resistance is difficult at best. When those robbers are themselves armed, it can quickly prove to be a mistake with grave consequences as it is here. Covering our Active Self Protection means knowing not only HOW to defend ourselves, but WHEN.

This store owner was prepared, and as a result the robber gets owned. The adage says when the prey is armed the predator goes hungry, and that’s certainly the case here! Lots of lessons to learn about preparedness and counter-ambushing.

These robbers picked the wrong store to target for sure! We might have some quibbles with how the officer handled the crowd, but he did protect everyone in the store and these robbers certainly regret their choices in life. :)

This prepared defender made a LOT of mistakes, but thankfully his purse carry worked just enough for him to carry the day against this robber. I don’t think that purse carry is a great idea and this video shows why, even when it works well enough to win the day.

In Brazil, carjacking is a common threat. (in Detroit, too!) Since off duty cops are the only ones who have effective means to stop a carjacking, it’s always an off duty cop when we get videos like this out of Brazil! But thankfully this time he did enough to win the day, even though he sustained...
