Our unique story

Rascal Defense is more than just a training and protection service. We specialize in personal protection, training, and Texas LTC licensing. A Personal Protection Officer (PPO) from Rascal Defense is a security professional who safeguards individuals, often high-profile, from threats through proactive risk management, threat assessment, and discreet physical security. Our PPOs distinguish themselves from traditional bodyguards with a focus on intelligence and tailored security planning, not just close-quarters defense. We use advanced skills from military/law enforcement backgrounds to deter attacks, manage crises, conduct surveillance, and ensure client safety during public appearances, meetings, or travel, providing peace of mind.

Our mission

At Rascal Defense, our main goal is to train and certify individuals in gun safety and Texas LTC licensing. We also provide personal protection services for various situations, including: High-profile events, business meetings, or travel. During terminations or sensitive situations. For protection against kidnapping or paparazzi threats. To protect valuable assets or provide residential security.

Our principles

Rascal Defense is guided by teaching these three core principles:

  1. Situational Awareness & Threat Assessment: We teach you to observe, interpret, and respond to your environment to recognize threats before they escalate, making you proactive rather than reactive.
  2. De-escalation & Use of Force Continuum: Training emphasizes verbal skills and avoidance first, treating physical force as a last resort, and applying only necessary, lawful force to protect life and property.
  3. Legal & Ethical Responsibility: We ensure you understand the laws surrounding carrying a handgun (LTC) and the limited authority of a PPO, including when you can legally act and the consequences of misuse to make it home safe.
