Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'normancy bias' in the context of self-defense?

'Normancy bias' is the tendency for victims to freeze during an attack because they expect a fair fight, like a fistfight, rather than a potentially lethal encounter involving weapons. It's crucial to overcome this expectation.

Why should you avoid 'ego fights' according to Active Self Protection?

Active Self Protection warns against 'ego fights' because you never know how far an opponent is willing to escalate. A seemingly minor argument or confrontation can quickly turn into a life-or-death situation with unpredictable consequences.

What lessons can be learned from the Gazi, Greece incident?

The incident in Gazi, Greece, demonstrates how a simple verbal argument and a slap can escalate to deadly force, resulting in multiple fatalities. It underscores the critical need for de-escalation and awareness of potential lethal threats.

What is recommended for concealed carry holsters?

The video highlights Henry Holsters as a sponsor, recommending their quality and reliability, particularly for appendix carry (AIWB/IWB). Models like the Flint AIWB/IWB Holster are shown as compatible with popular firearms.
