If you’re still trusting “the system” to keep you safe… this episode is a wake-up call.
In this Defenders LIVE conversation, John Hearne breaks down what most people never hear because it’s not comfortable, and it’s not popular… but it’s real.
You’ll learn:
Why crime data can be misleading (and what that means for your decisions)
How criminals choose targets in seconds and how to stop signaling “easy target”
The truth about clearance rates and why “they’ll catch the guy” isn’t a plan
Simple, high-leverage steps to harden your home against property crime
Why your car is NOT a holster and how stolen guns become crime guns
Tonight on Defenders LIVE, Lora Thorson sits down with returning guest John Hearne, founder of Two Pillars Training and longtime federal law enforcement professional, to separate myth from reality when it comes to crime, criminals, and personal safety. John breaks down why the “big” crime numbers can’t always be trusted, how clearance rates expose hard truths about the legal system, and why responsible people must learn to assess risk with clear eyes: not just the odds, but the stakes.
You’ll also hear eye-opening insight into how criminals select targets in seconds, why property crime is more common (and more preventable) than most people realize, and what actually moves the needle for home security. And yes, we go straight at a message that needs to be shouted from the rooftops: your car is not a holster. John explains how unsecured vehicle storage feeds criminal gun pipelines and what responsible ownership really looks like. This episode is honest, practical, and rooted in the kind of personal responsibility that builds stronger families and safer communities.
