Not every woman chooses to carry a firearm. Others aren’t ready. Some  cannot legally carry one. Still, some simply want to explore other options first.

The Resilient Warrior — The Women’s Personal Safety Experience is designed to introduce women to practical less-lethal personal safety options that can help them become more aware, more prepared, and more confident in their everyday lives.

This beginner-friendly workshop focuses on awareness, decision-making, and responsible use of personal safety tools such as pepper spray and compact flashlights. Students will learn how to evaluate situations, understand their options, and develop a personal safety plan that fits their lifestyle, not others. This course is about having more options to make real-time decisions.
