Night Time Defense

Unfortunately criminals like to prey on innocent people at night. Most of us are not prepared to defend ourselves at night, nor have we trained for night time defense. It’s time to change that!

We know criminals work at night, so we should be prepared for them to strike at night. Most of us however have never trained for night time defense. In the darkness of night almost everything is different.

Firearms

Night time shooting is rarely done by non law enforcement, Well most law enforcement officers rarely do night shooting. When training ourselves to protect our lives and the lives of our families we should consider every possibility and attempt to train for that event. Low light, or night time events are very likely and should be trained for. Find a range that allows night shooting, or an indoor range that turns the lights down and go train.

Flashlights

When your forced to defend yourself in a night time environment your sight will be poor. To combat this problem you should carry and practice using a tactical flashlight. A tactical flashlight or a flashlight with strobe can disorient your attacker and give you an upper hand for a few seconds. During this few seconds you should be able to overcome your attacker or seek shelter and help.

Hand to hand

If you take self defense seriously you should have taken a hand to hand combat course.
