SELF-DEFENSE by Michael Loftus September 30, 2023

Thank you, Father John, for having me speak at your wonderful church for such lovely people.

This is an excellent video on how a Gun Disarm is possible but not probable (though it has some options for ‘distracting’ before trying to disarm). Can You REALLY Disarm a Gun? (11m02s long) at 9:01 it teaches reaction time. 10:33 Summary: possible but not probable. Some of the viewer’s Comments below the video are also very interesting.

I also feel that I did a poor job of explaining how to turn ‘fear into fury.’ My pages explain it better and may help people: READ MORE IN THIS ATTACHMENT for links to: 1) Stress Control - Overview of FEAR, 2) Fear Itself, 3) Willpower is hope and will, 4) Punched-absorbing and overcoming pain, 5) Wounded-rising above injury, 6) Courage is choosing to survive, 7) Acting is role-playing for real, 8) Optimal Mindset to fight for your life and 9) Stress Control Recap.
