The stronger and more capable you are, the greater your responsibility to learn non-violent solutions. Remember, Training creates choices. Your ability to understand conflict and to use common sense tools to reduce or eliminate a threat without a firearm or violence, is your moral and ethical responsibility. Learn de-escalation techniques, conflict resolution strategies and most importantly, a situational awareness that helps you avoid conflict altogether.
