Trust, Transparency & Values

Does Right To Bear encourage vigilantism or confrontation?
No. We emphasize avoidance, de-escalation, and lawful conduct. We believe that any situation involving a gun to defend yourself is best avoided but we know sometimes you don’t have a choice. We believe in de-escalation and that self-defense is a last resort, but when it happens, law abiding citizens deserve a program that looks after them.
Why does Right To Bear talk so much about responsibility?
Because people who stand watch should never stand alone, but they should always act responsibly.
