Frequently Asked Questions

What are key tactics for defending yourself in a hotel room attack?

Key tactics include using your feet to create distance, employing loud verbal commands like 'Get back!', and practicing drawing your firearm from retention in confined spaces. It's crucial to avoid allowing an assailant to gain control of your weapon.

How should you draw a firearm from appendix carry during a close-quarters attack?

Drawing from appendix carry in a confined space requires clearing clothing and body obstructions, often with your support hand. The firearm should be rotated out of the holster to avoid it being blocked or grabbed by an attacker.

What is the 'bicycling' tactic in self-defense?

The 'bicycling' tactic involves using your legs to push off an attacker, similar to pedaling a bicycle. This is particularly effective when an assailant is trying to get on top of you, creating vital space to draw a weapon or escape.

Why is close-quarters firing technique important in self-defense scenarios?

Close-quarters firing is essential because in sudden, intimate attacks, you may not have room to extend your firearm fully. Training to shoot from retention, often one-handed, ensures you can effectively engage an immediate threat without the gun being compromised.
