About This Adventure
Join this engaging one-hour session to learn how to create a comprehensive personal and home protection plan. Discover essential strategies for awareness, avoidance, and preparation that go beyond just firearms training, empowering you to reduce the risk of violent crime and enhance your safety in everyday life.
Awareness, Avoidance, and Preparation
Duration
1 Hour
Overview
Developing a personal & home protection plan is a key component of not only preparing for how we should (or might) react if confronted by a violent crime, but also how we might avoid violent crime in the first place.
Within this lesson, instructors will explain that developing a protection plan is about much more than becoming proficient with a firearm or writing up a home invasion plan. It’s a plan that must encompass awareness, avoidance, and preparation, so that we’re less likely to find ourselves in a situation where we have no other option than to use our firearm, rather than more likely.
