The single most important step toward ensuring your personal safety is making the conscious decision to refuse to be a victim. You stand a much better chance of preventing a criminal attack if you develop a proactive safety strategy before you ever need it.

The NRA Refuse To Be A Victim® seminar is a nationally recognized crime prevention program designed to provide you with the tips and techniques required to be alerted to dangerous situations and avoid criminal confrontation. Unlike traditional self-defense classes, this seminar focuses exclusively on awareness and avoidance. We dive into the psychology of criminal predators to help you understand how they choose their targets and, more importantly, how you can make yourself a "hard target."

Throughout this comprehensive seminar, we cover a wide range of everyday safety topics, including home security, automobile safety, out-of-town travel, and technological/cybersecurity. You will learn how to improve your physical security through situational awareness and the "Color Codes of Awareness," as well as how to effectively utilize personal protection devices. This course is not a firearms or physical combat class; it is an empowering educational experience appropriate for individuals of all ages, genders and backgrounds. Whether you are a college student, a parent, or a senior citizen, this seminar provides life-changing information to help you and your family live smarter and stay safer.
