Review: NRA Refuse To Be A Victim

NRA Refuse To Be A Victim Seminar

Taken: late March.

Level:                    Entry level.

Lecture:         (4)  A solid 3-4 hour discussion on various safety precautions and security techniques for avoiding crimes.

Range:          N/A

Materials:       (4)   Well designed training manuals that make for easy reference in the future, although the treatment of some sections is a bit limited.

Equipment:    (4)   An assortment of demonstration pieces that can be used to in various safety measures are available for inspection and handling.

Value:            (4)   Tuition was $30. A good value overall.

Recommended For: People without a strong background in self preservation and protection tactics. Not a firearms course. Firearms will not come up. Not particularly for the already appropriately 'paranoid' individual. Highly recommended for those who are new to the idea of self protection and need a mindset course.

Total Score: 17/20  (80% for those who prefer things that way)

Opinion: This course really needs to be taken by many people; unfortunately, the folks most likely to take it will already know much of the material.
I liked the seminar style and the chatting back and forth that came up as everyone shared ideas about the topics. Since all of us had been exposed to the basic material in the past, the swapping of suggestions and commentary really was the most helpful piece of the course for us. 
I think it would be ideal if this could be offered at a public service level, at a university, or as a parent seminar at schools, in order to pass the message to those in need of it. 
Again: Not a firearms or concealed carry course.
