Episode #428: Terror Close to Home: Lessons from the Old Dominion Attack
The American Warrior Society is devoted to one thing: your safety. In todays world, taking responsibility for your own safety and survival is key and our goal is to teach you how.
In this episode, Rich Brown sits
down with returning guest Simon Golob for a raw and timely
discussion on recent events shaping the security landscape—centered
on the terrorist attack at Old Dominion.
This isn’t a distant, overseas
incident. It’s a reminder that violence can surface anywhere, at
any time—and often where people feel safest.
Rich and Simon break down what
happened, what we know so far, and—more importantly—what it means
for the everyday armed citizen.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
A
breakdown of the Old Dominion attack and key takeaways
How
modern threats are evolving—and why they’re getting harder to
predict
The
mindset gap: why most people are still unprepared for sudden
violence
Awareness failures and environmental blind spots in public
spaces
Where armed citizens fit—and where they don’t—in events like
this
Practical considerations for movement, positioning, and
decision-making under stress
This episode isn’t about
fear—it’s about clarity.
Because the question isn’t
if violence
exists.
The question is whether you’re prepared when it finds you.
