Frequently Asked Questions

What are key considerations for family defense during a violent encounter?

Prioritize positioning yourself between the threat and vulnerable family members if tactically feasible. Develop a clear family defense plan and ensure a designated person handles the 911 call to allow the defender to maintain focus on the threat.

What is 'drawing from the drop' and how can it be mitigated?

'Drawing from the drop' means drawing a firearm when the threat has already initiated their action. Mitigation involves camouflaging the draw by turning away or feigning compliance, aiming for a fast, accurate first shot.

Why is muzzle discipline crucial during a defensive shooting?

Muzzle discipline is vital to prevent accidental injury to bystanders, including family members. During high-stress scanning for additional threats, the muzzle must be kept pointed in a safe direction, away from non-threats.

What should be done after neutralizing an immediate threat?

After neutralizing the immediate threat, it's crucial to re-assess for secondary threats. Move to a safe location and have a designated person call 911, allowing the defender to maintain focus on the firearm and potential dangers.
