What is the goal of the NRA's Refuse To Be A Victim® program?

The goal of the NRA's Refuse To Be A Victim® program is to educate individuals on strategies to avoid dangerous situations and enhance personal safety. This program emphasizes the importance of proactive measures and awareness to prevent crime and victimization, rather than solely focusing on physical confrontations or the use of firearms. Participants learn critical skills that involve planning, avoidance tactics, and situational awareness, which can be applied in a variety of everyday scenarios to improve overall safety.

By prioritizing avoidance and preventive strategies, the program aims to empower individuals to be more proactive in their personal safety, making informed decisions to deter potential threats before they escalate into dangerous situations. This approach promotes a comprehensive understanding of safety that goes beyond the use of self-defense tools and encourages individuals to take personal responsibility for their security.
