Personal Safety
Nobody expects a fire in their home, yet everyone has a fire extinguisher. Doesn’t it make sense to protect your life—and the lives of your family—in the same way? Imagine walking down a street and hearing footsteps approaching behind you.
What if you are standing in your kitchen and a stranger appears at your backdoor? Would you know what to do if someone follows you in your car?
Some Crime Statistics
According to the FBI, a violent crime happens every 25.6 seconds. Instead of fearing the worst, you can prepare for life-threatening situations. In “Defend Confidently,” Stephen Mazzagatti—a retired New Jersey state trooper, paramedic, and firearms expert—shares essential self-defense knowledge.
This book provides practical guidance on situational awareness, home and road safety, non-lethal self-defense techniques, and firearm selection and
use. With expertise from law enforcement, aviation, and emergency response, Mazzagatti equips readers with the mindset and skills necessary to stay safe in an unpredictable world.
