Frequently Asked Questions

What tactical advantage do criminals often use in robberies?

Criminals frequently employ an 'ambush' tactic to gain an initial advantage over their victims. Defenders must be aware of this and wait for a safe 'window of opportunity' to effectively counter-attack.

Why is on-body firearm carry preferred for self-defense?

On-body carry allows for significantly faster access to a firearm during a sudden threat compared to off-body or drawer storage. The video highlights a 14-second delay for a drawer gun, emphasizing the critical time saved with immediate access.

What is the 'window of opportunity' in self-defense?

The 'window of opportunity' refers to the specific moment when a defender can safely and effectively act to counter an attack. It requires assessing the situation and waiting for the right moment to engage, rather than reacting impulsively.

What are the '5 Ds plus 1' in weapon defense?

The '5 Ds plus 1' are a framework for analyzing defensive actions: Close the distance, Deflect, Dominate, Distract, Disarm, and Disable. This model helps break down the sequence of actions in a confrontation.
