I had a situation of someone making an accusation involving me with " displaying " a hand gun. I called AOR and within minutes a attorney called and I explained to him the situation, he did an excellent job of walking me through on what to say and not do with the police. At the end no arrest was made and the complaint dismissed. The comfort of having quick access to a attorney made all the difference. Extremely glad I joined AOR.

After consideration of all of the offered self defense options out there, AOR is undeniably the best of them. The process was quick and efficent to get signed up with them and their customer service is second to none. I had to deal with Stacy Peterson to get my account in order due to mulitple locations of residence. She was very responsive and thorough. In this day and age it is refreshing to do business with such a company and I hope that I never have to use it.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the thoughtful review, Timothy. We’re honored you chose AOR after carefully evaluating your options. It’s great to hear that Stacy was able to assist you with responsiveness and attention to detail. Providing a smooth experience and strong support is exactly what we strive for. We truly appreciate your trust and your kind words.
