On Her Own on InRange TV: Flashbang Bra Holster – What Works and What Doesn’t

I’ve been looking forward to today for quite a while. When Karl from InRangeTV and I decided to start collaborating, my mission was to find self-defense products and techniques, especially those targeted to women, and examine them in-depth to see if they’re legitimate or not.

Gear, InRange, Personal Safety

I’m super excited to announce that I’ve partnered with InRange TV to work on a series of mythbusting videos where I’ll be taking a look at self-defense products and strategies, especially those that are marketed especially at women.
