Incidents of mass violence are unfortunately common, yet society often avoids confronting this reality. Acknowledging the presence of violence is crucial for preparedness. This book offers a practical approach to handling active shooter situations. Many organizations provide basic training with the mantra of "run, hide, fight," but this often lacks depth. What do we do when faced with an actual threat? The discussions surrounding these events rarely equip us for survival. This guide covers all aspects of responding to an active shooter, including planning, evasion, finding secure locations, unarmed fighting, defensive weapon considerations, administering life-saving medical care, interacting with law enforcement, coping with aftermath, and initiating training. It aims to prepare you and your loved ones for such events, emphasizing that your safety is ultimately your responsibility. Aaron Jannetti, owner of Endeavor Defense and Fitness in Columbus, OH, leads the charge in teaching self-defense and active shooter response across the U.S. With extensive qualifications and experience, he brings valuable insights back to his team, continuously improving their instruction to better serve the community.
