  • Mugger Shot by Armed Victim

    Episode 1

    This mugger got what he paid for! When victims are armed and ready with their Active Self Protection strong, they make a mugger’s day go as badly as this guy’s did.

  • Carjacking Victim Shoots Both Carjackers

    Episode 2

    Have you thought much about how you’d defend yourself against a carjacking? We see enough of them at Active Self Protection to know what is effective and what isn’t. And this? This is effective.

  • Corrections Officer Shows How Tricky Shooting Backstop Can Be

    Episode 3

    This corrections officer was in a terrible, terrible predicament all around. This is why we practice Active Self Protection, though, to see in advance what we would do about a knife-wielding attacker like this. How would you have handled it?

  • Officer Involved Shooting Shows Danger to Bystanders

    Episode 4

    Bystanders do goofy stuff in deadly force encounters, and this video from Love Field in Dallas shows that well. Don’t stand around like these people did during an officer involved shooting (or any other shooting!); practice Active Self Protection instead!

  • Clerk Fights Off Armed Robber

    Episode 5

    Would you have fought this armed robber or just let him go when he tried to jump the counter? I don’t blame this clerk for fighting back once she was convinced that the pistol was fake, though I don’t think she HAD to. This is the beauty of Active Self Protection, in that you get to choose when a...

  • Armed Robber Loses Shotgun to Angry Clerk

    Episode 6

    This armed robber was expecting an easy mark, not an angry clerk! I am not positive that this is the best way to practice Active Self Protection, but at least he was willing to defend himself. And hey, he came out on top, so success covers a lot of mistakes, right?

  • Multiple Armed Robbers Storm Convenience Store

    Episode 7

    Armed robbers don’t come much more dangerous than this. Pistol, shotgun, AND rifle among the three armed robbers? Winning this one takes some nuanced Active Self Protection for sure.

  • Store Owner Foils Armed Robbery Attempt

    Episode 8

    How would you have responded to this armed robbery? I wish every attempted armed robbery went this well! I think the store owner practiced pretty good Active Self Protection and it looks like no innocents were hurt, either.

  • Officer Shoots Teen Who Tried to Shoot Him

    Episode 9

    There are lots of lessons that this officer teaches us about our Active Self Protection, but sometimes, luck is what gets you through the day! I am certainly glad that the perp here had a malfunction in his firearm.

  • Store Owner Disarms Armed Robber

    Episode 10

    Could you have stayed in the fight against this armed robber like the store owner did here? I think in the end he practiced good Active Self Protection!
