"I Got Abducted at Gunpoint" - Escaping vs. Compliance: How I Survived With a Gun at My Back

from TAKING AIM · host Aimpoint

In this gripping episode of Taking Aim Podcast Richard Nance sits down with David Higginbotham who recounts a harrowing real-life encounter that forever changed his approach to personal defense. What began as a routine walk to lunch quickly turned into a life-threatening situation involving a violent mugging, a revolver, and a desperate search for escape through the streets of downtown Atlanta. David shares how the traumatic experience shifted his mindset from reluctant pacifist to armed citizen, ultimately leading him into the world of concealed carry, EDC, and responsible firearm ownership. Along the way, he and Richard dive into the importance of preparedness, gear selection, and the life-saving value of defensive training.Follow Safariland Group on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/safarilandgroup/?hl=enFollow Rich Nance on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nance_training_consulting/ and https://www.instagram.com/rnancewartac/Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠@AimpointUSAVisit Aimpoint.com to learn more: https://www.aimpoint.com/ PRODUCED BY IRONCLAD
