Gideon Protective Services, Inc.

Are you and your client prepared in case you’re attacked while in your vehicle in-between business meetings, vacation traveling, or just regular commuting?  Acts of violence, specifically kidnappings, are on the rise.  We see in the news almost every night the violence that is taking place outside of our borders.  But it does take place inside our borders as well.  It is not as common here in the States, but it’s only a matter of time until the frequency of kidnappings and other criminal acts increases.  People of wealth and stature are afraid it might happen to them due to the economic woes of the USA.  The criminal element is becoming bolder and more brazen in their attacks and schemes.  This has caused an increase in production and manufacturing for companies like Texas Armoring Company in Texas.  Just watch and listen.

Armoring of any vehicle is available to all walks of life that have high exposure levels and feel the need for protection, but don’t want to pay for Executive Protection.  But those Executive Protection Agents that protect clients every day, and do not have access to armored vehicles, should recommend armoring a vehicle for their client.  Think about it.  When are you most vulnerable?  During transit in-between any function your client may have.  When your client is at the office, home, or favorite vacation spot, you can “lock them down”.  But when you’re out on the road, anything is possible.  From an optimistic point of view, if you’re attacked while in transit, it can also be an advantage to be on the road.  If you anticipate a possible vehicle assault, you’re already mobile and hopefully have planned your escape routes and you can get away safely.  Armoring your vehicle will also aid, and possibly ensure, you and your clients get away safely and avoid any unwanted public exposure or embarrassing issues.  Special James Bond type accessories can also be added to your Armored Vehicle.  Armoring vehicles is the latest trend in personal protection, and Texas Armoring Company is leading the charge.

The following video is a must see. It unfortunately reveals what happens when an intruder is at your door and is determined to do you harm. This woman thankfully knew how to use a firearm and she possessed the right combat mindset to be the victor. She did everything she could to not shoot, but the dirtbag gave her no other option. It is also a tragedy the Police could not be there in time. We as people must be trained and vigilant and be ready to defend ourselves and loved ones, period. Watch the video for yourself and then examine your life and the life of your loved ones and decide what you would have done in the exact situation. Continue waiting for the Police and probably be dead, raped, or choose not to go down without a fight. That answer is easy for me, but what say you?

When you live in a violent world such as ours Personal Protection can mean a lot of different things depending on who you ask and in what context. Personal Protection may mean seeking out the training to protect yourself and your family or hiring others (Bodyguards or Executive Protection Professionals) to protect you and your loved ones. There are several hundred ways one could learn how to personally protect themselves. You could join a gym, bulk up, get in better shape, and develop an intimidating commanding presence. You could join and learn a Martial Arts Discipline or Mixed Martial Arts gym. People seeking out Personal Protection may want to learn how to fight with different physical weapons. Among these are contact weapons, edged weapons, chemical weapons, electrical weapons, and firearms. Contact weapons consist of anything that could be used as a “club or bat”. Edged weapons are generally knives and swords and firearms that consist of pistols, rifles, and shotguns. Chemical weapons generally speaking are “pepper” spray or gas and electrical weapons consist of tasers and stun guns. Mental awareness is also another strong component of Personal Protection. It doesn’t matter what system you deploy if you do not have the proper mindset and awareness to go along with your potentially deadly encounter.

You might be asking yourself where I can receive training in all of the above mentioned disciplines. I have been in the private and public sector for 13 years. I have come across two places that I recommend. These two training facilities offer the very best in their skilled training sessions. If you’re looking for a one stop shop for empty hand defense, edge weapons, firearms, chemical weapons, and a place to develop the proper mindset then travel to the Las Vegas area and attend one of many classes offered by Front Sight Firearms Training Institute. At Front Sight you will be amazed at what they instruct and how successful they are at it. I have attended almost every single class offered and come away every time astonished at what I learned. Dollar for dollar and the value of instruction is unmatched, period!

The second Personal Protection training facility I recommend is featured mainly in hand to hand combat. Straight up and down and dirty on the mats sweating is the only way this training group operates. For the very best in hand to hand combat and inflicting violence on your attacker, then seek out Tim Larkin at Target Focus Training. You will come away with a sense of pride, accomplishment, and confidence in your newly developed skill set. The proper mindset is also incorporated into the curriculum at TFT.
