Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'hand-on-gun-in-holster' technique?

The 'hand-on-gun-in-holster' technique involves keeping your hand resting on your holstered firearm as a readiness posture. This method is favored for its speed in drawing and its less aggressive appearance to bystanders compared to other ready positions.

Why are warning shots discouraged in self-defense?

Firing warning shots is discouraged because it reduces your firearm's capacity, wastes ammunition, and significantly increases the risk of accidentally hitting an unintended target or person, potentially leading to severe legal consequences.

What is the recommended action after neutralizing a threat?

After neutralizing a threat, it's advised to break contact and have a bystander call 911. This prevents your immediate, potentially emotional statements ('excited utterances') from being recorded and used against you in court.

How effective was the defender's shooting performance?

The defender demonstrated exceptional skill, achieving a draw-to-shot time of approximately 1.0 second. Despite being fired upon first, his superior accuracy and stable two-handed stance allowed him to effectively win the encounter.
