Season 5

In this premiere episode of season 5, we take you through scenarios that you may experience if you are in charge of keeping an eye on your neighbor’s house as part of the neighborhood watch team. We follow a concealed carry shooting situation from the beginning to the end.

Not every self defense situation requires a gun solution either in your home or when you’re out and about. The legal, moral and emotional outcome is something you have to live with for the rest of your life.

In this scenario from The Best Defense, we are going to take you to a place where
violence is like a summer thunder storm. It comes up fast and is incredibly scary
and random. Sometimes you have no choice but to fight.

The reality of an attack is that it can happen on the most mundane of days and in the middle of your daily routines. One of those routines can be to take your child for a nice walk in the park.

Unlike old dogs, it turns out that criminals can learn new tricks. When we talk about violent crimes, it’s not necessarily a mugging in an alley.

Any time you travel out of town, especially as a female traveler, you increase your chances of being attacked. You’re outside of your environment. In a hotel scenario, the risk increases dramatically if you’re not paying attention to your surroundings.

What are the threats that face us involving our job? There are more than we can actually imagine, especially if our job put us in contact with people in a one on one situation and in a non public environment.

Social Media allows you to share information and things about your life more efficiently than ever before. But it can also leave you more vulnerable, because the predators out there are also using this new electronic world as a hunting ground to find their prey.

You hear a sound outside. Someone is on your property looking into your home. You grab your weapon and go outside to solve the problem…. or does the problem solve you?

When criminals look for victims, they look for the weakest they can find. If you are disabled, you are more than twice as likely to be targeted than if you’re able-bodied. However, not being optimal, does not mean you can’t respond optimally.

In this episode, The Best Defense team takes you through a worst case scenario at a movie theater. It is one of the most terrifying situations you can ever find yourself in. We give you some ideas on how to increase your survivability.

Parking lots are prime hunting grounds for predators, especially after dark. In a low light situation, being aware is more difficult. Carrying a flash light can be as important as carrying a gun in a self defense situation.

It’s been an aggressive, even a scary season of The Best Defense. In every season, we present 12 scenarios which offer unique learning points. Mike Seeklander and Michael Janich pick 3 of the most important scenarios filled with life saving information.
