Personal Protection With a focus On Firearms Defense
There is no second place winner in a lethal force encounter--only first and first loser. When the stake is one's life, losing is not an option! To be prepared, one must possess the necessary knowledge, skills and mindset. Achieving these skills requires proper training and continuous practice.
In 21st century America, we find ourselves
blessed to be living in the most prosperous and technologically advanced time
in human history. This era of physical abundance, however, is contrasted by an
equally pronounced period of moral malaise.
Increasing numbers of our nation's inhabitants
lack the ethical framework necessary to effectively function in a civilized
society. As a result, these opportunistic individuals choose to operate without
conscience or pity on the primitive level of "predator-prey". Unfortunately,
their "prey" often consists of the ignorant, the infirm, the elderly,
the unwary, and those they otherwise perceive to be vulnerable. Any of us can
be the target of crime, given the right set of circumstances. Victims, too
often, are those among us least able or willing to defend themselves.
Add to this potentially explosive social mix
Islamic terrorists determined to destroy both the citizens and the fabric of
our country.
The cultural tragedy of America lies in the fact
that we live in a society where the normal tranquility of our lives can be
quickly and violently shattered by the senseless and remorseless aggression of
others. It is difficult to contemplate the possibility of having to defend
ourselves and our loved ones against violent attack. It is equally distressing
to imagine the consequences of being totally helpless and subject to the
maniacal whims of a merciless attacker.
Many people feel that the possession of a firearm
may offer the needed insurance to guarantee a favorable outcome if they are
ever faced with a criminal encounter. This belief, supported by statistics,
inspires one to resist becoming the victim.
Eleven years after Sam Colt's death, his vision
resulted in the invention of the Single Action Army or Peacemaker revolver in
1873. It was universally regarded to be the "great equalizer".
Little has changed in America from the perspective
of personal protection since that time, with the exception that honest citizens
are subject to increasingly onerous laws which have placed restrictions on
their ability to exercise the "choice" of self defense.
The presence of a firearm in the hands of the
intended victim represents both a physical and psychological force that can
diffuse violence in a criminally threatening situation. Most criminal
confrontations can be thwarted by the application of superior force by the
perceived "prey". In many cases, merely the threat of superior force
is sufficient to dissipate an otherwise dangerous situation. "Bark"
without the will to "bite" is a risky substitute for taking absolute
control of a criminal encounter, however, and a vigilant individual must be
prepared to follow through with the proper amount of force.
The thought of taking the life of another is
repugnant to most people. Against this abhorrence must be weighed the horror
and anguish one would experience should they be powerless to defend themselves
and their family against a criminal assault. Hence, it becomes a very
introspective decision whether or not to select a firearm for personal
protection.
In any given year in America, the actual use or
threatened use of a gun by the intended victim stops approximately 2,500,000
violent crimes from occurring. This equates to one deterred crime every
thirteen seconds.
In contrast to conventional perception, the police
have no responsibility or obligation to provide security or protection to
American citizens. Their function is to investigate a crime and apprehend the
perpetrator of the crime after it has been committed.
The myth of "911" suggests that local
law enforcement can somehow miraculously materialize before the law has already
been broken. This, in fact, is impossible. At any given time in the United
States, only about 150,000 police officers are on duty. America is a country approaching
nearly 300,000,000 inhabitants. Do the math.
Police do their best to respond to a crime
"in progress". It is up to the individual to decide how best to
protect themselves, their family, and perhaps other innocent lives during the
interim. Hopefully, the choices made will either diffuse the threat, resolve
the confrontation in their favor, or " buy time" until law
enforcement authorities can arrive. Poor choice, or no choice, will
unfortunately result in yet another "victim of crime" statistic.
If you do decide to possess a firearm as a means
of protecting yourself or your loved ones, responsible gun ownership requires
that you become proficient in its use. Along with knowledge of your gun's safe
operation and handling, it is important that you also learn how to maintain and
store it properly.
Learn to defend
yourself, your family and loved ones. Your personal safety and that of your
family is not only a RIGHT but a duty and responsibility. We offer classes from beginner to advanced.
