These video programs avoid both the simplistic advice that is too often given for armed self-defense, and on the other end of the spectrum, the over-macho &#8220;high-speed&#8221; &#8220;tactical&#8221; advice that is also both unrealistic and too prevalent.  Instead the focus is on what is realistically possible for most people to do in these extreme circumstances.  Mroz was a police officer for almost 20 years, most recently assigned to his county&#8217;s drug task force; Kenik is the firearms instructor for the Lake Arthur, NM police department.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.armedresponsetraining.com\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7890\" style=\"border: 0pt none;\" title=\"armedresponsedvds\" src=\"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/armedresponsedvds.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"99\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/armedresponsedvds.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.downrange.tv\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/armedresponsedvds-300x59.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This week in our &#8220;Don&#8217;t Train as You Were Taught&#8221; series, we focus on drawing the gun in a self defense situation.
