Frequently Asked Questions

Why is firearm accessibility crucial for self-defense?

A defensive firearm is only useful if it can be accessed quickly and efficiently during a critical incident. Carrying a firearm in a backpack, for example, significantly delays access compared to on-body carry, potentially rendering it ineffective when seconds count.

Is carrying a firearm in a backpack a good self-defense strategy?

No, carrying a firearm in a backpack is generally considered inefficient for self-defense. The time required to retrieve the firearm from a bag is significantly longer than drawing from an on-body holster, which can be critical in a fast-moving threat situation.

What are the drawbacks of using full-auto firearms for self-defense?

Full-auto firearms, often equipped with 'giggle switches,' are impractical for civilian self-defense due to a severe lack of control and accuracy. The rapid firing rate makes accurate shot placement difficult, and the recoil can be unmanageable, leading to missed shots and potential collateral damage.

What makes someone a target for robbery?

Displaying valuables openly, such as expensive jewelry or electronics, can attract unwanted attention from criminals. This behavior signals to potential robbers that you possess desirable items, increasing your risk of becoming a victim.
