While we do teach weapon disarms in some of our courses here at Force Management Academy, keep in mind that even those who train to do this consider a high risk move. Of course if [&#8230;]]]></description>

I doubt the woman in this story had any idea that her response would cause her near death, so let this be an object lesson to everyone else. If you are driving, and some moron cuts [&#8230;]]]></description>

A man goes into a gas station so his girlfriend&#8217;s son can use the restroom, and asks the clerk if there is a faucet he can use to fill his water bottle. Hilarity does not ensue.

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a day of lucky people. This story illustrates a few &#8220;Dont&#8217;s&#8221;. For example, when you hear a noise and the dog barking in the garage, going to check it out is not very smart. Call the police. This woman is lucky that a physical altercation and hitting the garage floor are the worst things [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you confront someone, you can never be sure how they will react. No matter how careful you are to not unnecessarily cause a conflict, sometimes it happens without warning, reason, or predictable cause. Such is the case in this story, when party crashers (4) were asked to leave, they retrieved firearms from their vehicle, [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is one of the potential costs of what many consider doing the right thing. This man was beaten to the point that police stated there was a concern he would not survive his injuries. We reserve comment, as the pro / con lecture can be rather involved from a criminal and civil liability perspective. [&#8230;]]]></description>
