About

The world is getting weird. Havoc Response Training Group was created as a direct response to the uncertainty of the future.
We have one mission: Teach people to respond effectively to bad things. We believe that preparedness isn’t just about gear or tactics—it’s about giving people the knowledge, skills, tools, and confidence to face uncertainty without fear.

The reality is that the world we live in is uncertain. Since the year 2000, the world has known only one crisis after another: COVID, mass shootings, devastating hurricanes and earthquakes, the 2008 mortgage crisis, riots, wars, 9/11 and more. Individuals have faced crises at home and on the job with the rise of deadly drugs and violence. The unknown is everywhere, but we believe that with our experience and our methods, we at HRT can make a positive impact right here, right now.

Our goal is simple: to cut fear off at the knees. Fear fuels division, hate, and paralysis. By equipping people with the skills and mindset to handle crisis moments, we reduce anxiety and empower communities.

At HRT, our instructors and staff are committed to being Trustworthy, Helpful, Courteous, and Kind. We put people before egos and challenge old ways of doing things when it means creating more effective, life-extending outcomes. Whether you’re an individual, a family, a group of friends, or a business, our training is tailored to your needs. From firearms instruction and Family Emergency Response Training to home security planning, bug-out readiness, and even hydroponic food solutions, we keep every program grounded in real-world practicality.

Stability Inc., Havoc Labs, and Havoc Response Training Group were founded by Chris Edmonds, a designer, explorer, inventor, and entrepreneur. Chris brings a wealth of knowledge and practical skills gathered while traveling across the U.S. and abroad, working with well-known companies to solve problems and create opportunities. Over the last 20 years Chris has worked with hundreds of clients—from teenagers to seasoned adults—in self defense and situational awareness, home and business security, firearms instruction, first aid, wilderness survival, personal development coaching, and marketing, branding, and leadership development.

As we expand, HRT aims to grow into a nationally recognized symbol of training, security, and stability. Franchise opportunities will be available across the U.S. by 2026.
