What You'll Learn
Unarmed Active Shooter Response Training
When Seconds Count, Will You Know What to Do?
We've all heard the advice: Run. Hide. Fight.
But what does that actually mean?
How do you know when it's safe to run? What if your escape route is blocked? Where should you hide? What makes a hiding place safer than another? And if you're left with no other option, how do you fight to protect yourself and those around you?
Knowing three words is one thing. Knowing how to put them into action is something entirely different.
Our In The Line Of Fire: Survive the Threat course takes active shooter response beyond the usual advice and gives everyday people practical knowledge, hands-on exercises, and scenario-based training to help them make better decisions during a violent emergency.
You don't need a firearm. You don't need tactical experience. You just need the willingness to learn how to protect yourself and others.
What You'll Learn
RUN — Knowing When and How to Escape
Escaping a dangerous situation isn't always as simple as running toward the nearest exit. We'll explore recognizing danger, identifying escape routes, making decisions under stress, and helping others reach safety without unnecessarily exposing yourself to danger.
HIDE — Making Yourself Harder to Find and Reach
Not all hiding places offer the same protection. Learn the differences between cover and concealment, how to evaluate potential hiding locations, secure or barricade a space when appropriate, remain as safe as possible, and communicate with emergency responders.
FIGHT — When There Is No Other Option
If escape and hiding are no longer possible and your life is in immediate danger, you may have to physically defend yourself. We'll discuss last-resort resistance, protecting yourself, working with others when appropriate, and the importance of decisive action when facing an imminent threat.
More Than Just a Lecture
This isn't a class where you sit in a chair, watch a presentation, and go home with three words to remember.
We use interactive discussions, practical exercises, and realistic decision-making scenarios to help you understand how these principles apply when circumstances are confusing, frightening, and rapidly changing.
Our goal isn't to turn you into a tactical operator. It's to help you become a more prepared, aware, and capable person who understands their options during an emergency.
Who Should Take This Class?
This course is designed for everyday people, including:
Parents and families
Teachers and school personnel
Church staff, volunteers, and security team members
Business owners and employees

Anyone who wants to be better prepared to protect themselves and others during a violent emergency

Don't Just Remember the Words. Understand What They Mean.
No class can guarantee your safety during an active shooter incident. But understanding your options, practicing emergency decisions, and developing a plan can help you respond more effectively when every second matters.

What We'll Teach
Countering the Threat
The solutions outlined in Part Two are based upon the clear and convincing evidence uncovered in Part One. The solutions are comprehensive—in other words, they are meant to deter potential shooters before they strike; they are meant to end attacks early and minimize the number of victims when they strike; and they are meant to save the lives of victims after the attack is over. Topics explored in Part Two include: - Knowing the signs. - Creating an emergency operations plan for your school, house of worship or business. - Special security considerations for schools. - Special security considerations for houses of worship. - Using the Run, Hide, Fight Methodology. - When fighting back means using a firearm. - Triage and treat the wounded. - The criteria for gun free zones. - Where do we go from here? Whether you accept all of Martin’s recommendations or not, you will find something of value in Part Two, even if it’s learning how to properly develop an Emergency Operations Plan (EOP) for your house of worship, school or business; or if it’s learning how to make a field expedient tourniquet or chest seal in order to protect the life of a critically injured victim if you ever find yourself at the scene of a mass shooting.
