Season three of The Best Defense starts THIS WEEK!

For the third year in a row, The first Wednesday after Christmas will bring you a brand new season of The Best Defense…. with thirteen original episodes featuring Michael Bane, Mike Janich and I bringing you the best information we can in regard to your personal, family and home safety and security. We’ll again be taking a big leap forward tackling even more advanced techniques and concepts to you prepare to deal with some of the worst real world possibilities and plausible defensive situations.

Director Tim Cremin and Host Michael Bane ensure that every segment of The Best Defense is relevant and helpful!

This season we taped at a variety of locations to capture compelling video sequences showing you how things could go both good and bad if you’re caught in a dynamic critical incident that puts your life, or the lives of others, in jeopardy. This year, we’ll cover some important new topics like open carry and how to deal with a panicked crowd. We’re also going to re-visit issues such as road rage, home invasion, police response to a shooting and public active shooters to take a more in depth look and offer you more alternatives to consider in your preparation for these all-too-common scenarios.

We’ve taken a lot of inspiration for this season’s content right from the feedback and requests that we’ve received from our viewers via email, forum posts and conversations throughout the last two years. We’ve also taken ideas right from the headlines of some of the most shocking incidents affecting our community such as the shootings at the Florida School Board Meeting and incidents involving those who have been legally armed interacting with law enforcement with sometimes tragic results.

Personally, I really enjoyed the firearms training segments this season, where we’ll build on the foundation that has been established in previous episodes… if you haven’t been watching, you might want to take a look at the previous seasons on DVD before heading to the range and practicing some of this more advanced information!

As always, I’m looking forward to feedback from the viewers at Downrange.tv or via email (rob@swatmag.com) !
