WHY SHOULD YOU CARRY?
STALKERS
Approximately 13.5 million individuals are stalked in the U.S. every year. Around 22.5% of women (28.8 million) and 9.7% of men (11.9 million) experience stalking in their lifetimes. Studies indicate that roughly 46% of stalkers ultimately display physical violence toward their victims, and the risk multiplies drastically if threats of harm have been communicated.
ACTIVE SHOOTERS
It has become alarmingly normalized to see “active shooter” featured in news headlines. We don’t get to choose when and where these situations happen but we can choose how we respond to preserve life or limb. We are now seeing a clear pattern of how to survive, and even stop an active shooter: an armed response.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND YOUR LOVED ONES
Predators tend to attack the vulnerable and avoid anything that can resist them with force. Having the ability to protect yourself and your loved ones is a right that everyone has, but is not always exercised. How prepared you are depends on your tools, training, and mindset. You even out the scales when you have the firepower, understanding of the law, and the training to back it all up
