Frequently Asked Questions

What happened in the Brazil self-defense incident?

In Curitiba, Brazil, two armed robbers attempted to hold up a shop. The father and son owners, who are competition shooters, drew their firearms and successfully defended their business. One suspect fled, and the other was apprehended by police.

Why is on-body carry emphasized in self-defense?

Firearms are only effective if they are immediately accessible. John Correia stresses that carrying your firearm on your person ensures it's available when needed, unlike a firearm stored elsewhere in the home or vehicle.

What tactical lesson can be learned from the father's draw?

The father demonstrated effective situational awareness by having his firearm ready under the counter while seated. This highlights the importance of practicing draws from various positions, not just standing.

What are the risks associated with certain types of holsters?

The video shows a holster detaching with the gun during a draw. This warns against using low-quality nylon or overly 'sticky' holsters that lack positive attachment to the body, potentially hindering a successful defensive action.
