Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'purposeful compliance' in self-defense?

Purposeful compliance is a self-defense tactic where an individual feigns cooperation with an attacker while actively observing their actions, waiting for a opportune moment to initiate a counter-ambush or escape.

Why is using a captured firearm as a bludgeon dangerous?

Using a captured firearm as a bludgeon is dangerous primarily due to the high risk of negligent discharge. The mechanics of the firearm may not be fully understood, and the stress of the situation increases the likelihood of an accidental firing.

What is an 'environmental weapon'?

An environmental weapon is an improvised tool found in one's surroundings, such as a rolling pin, chair, or fire extinguisher, used for self-defense when a dedicated weapon is not available or accessible.

What is the 'plus one' rule in self-defense?

The 'plus one' rule suggests always being aware of potential accomplices or additional threats beyond the immediate attacker. This awareness is crucial for planning escape routes and ensuring overall safety during or after an incident.
