Empowering Women Through Safe, Supportive Firearms Training
🚨 The Reality: Where Are Women Most at Risk?
Before we talk about training, let’s talk about the truth. Unfortunately, violence against women is a very real issue, and it often happens in places we visit every day.
According to multiple studies, including data from the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics and the FBI:
🔥 Top 5 Most Dangerous Places for Women in the U.S.:
- Parking Garages & Lots – 1 in 10 assaults against women happen in or near a parked vehicle.
- Public Transportation Hubs – Bus stops, subway platforms, and rideshare pickup zones are common sites for harassment and assault.
- Gas Stations & Convenience Stores – Often isolated and poorly lit, these are frequent locations for robberies and assaults.
- College Campuses & Dorm Areas – Despite awareness efforts, assault and stalking remain a problem, especially after dark.
- Home Entrances (Including Apartments) – Nearly 40% of domestic violence incidents begin or escalate at the front door.
These are not rare events. Over 80% of women report experiencing some form of public harassment in their lifetime.
🧠 Why Situational Awareness & Preparedness Matter
The first line of defense is not a weapon—it’s awareness. Being able to recognize a threat before it becomes an attack gives you options, distance, and time. But awareness isn’t enough on its own.
That’s why we focus on both mental and physical preparation at Train Protect Defend. Our programs are built to help you:
- Stay alert in high-risk areas
- Understand pre-attack indicators
- React decisively under stress
- Use effective, legal self-defense tools

We understand that stepping into firearms training, especially for the first time, can feel intimidating. That’s why we specialize in private, one-on-one instruction that removes the pressure of group environments and allows you to build skills at your own pace.
