Strong on Defense Quotes

“The fundamental principle of surviving violence is mental. Not physical, not gadgetry, but mental preparation, mind-setting. It consists of visualizing a crime scene and mentally rehearsing your response. Mind-setting gives you this crucial advantage when violence strikes: “This is not new to me, I’ve thought about this before. I know what to do.” Then your instincts trained for this moment will kick in.”

“These are the facts: If violence strikes, survival depends on what we alone do in the crucial first seconds. The police won't be there to help. They'll get there later to pick up the pieces.”
