Frequently Asked Questions

What lessons can be learned from the pistol vs. rifle ambush in Guyana?

The ambush highlights the importance of staying in the fight even when injured, the need for accuracy beyond close range (debunking the 3-3-3 myth), and the value of evasive driving and immediate medical preparedness with an IFAK.

How should one react if they suspect they are being followed?

If you suspect you're being followed, do not go home. Instead, use evasive driving techniques to confirm the tail and contact emergency services. The goal is to divert the threat away from your residence.

Why is training for longer-range pistol accuracy important for self-defense?

The '3-3-3' gunfight myth is often inaccurate. Real encounters can occur at 15 yards or more, making marksmanship and the ability to accurately engage targets at distance a critical defensive skill.

Carrying an Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK) on your person is crucial. Knowing how to use it allows for immediate treatment of major traumatic bleeding, which can be life-saving, especially when facing threats like rifle fire.
