Q: I don't carry a firearm, so why would this do me any good?

Over 60% of assaults are simple assaults , and some sources say it's even higher. This would preclude the use of a deadly weapon in most cases. Much of what we deal with are the broader principles and factors involved with violent encounters, which apply to self-defense with and without a firearm. You can come to The Forge and learn the skills you need to deal with personal defense in your context.
