Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary danger highlighted in transitional spaces?

The primary danger in transitional spaces, such as parking lots or areas outside gated communities, is becoming a vulnerable target for opportunistic criminals. Lingering or 'dilly-dallying' around your vehicle in these areas significantly increases your risk of being attacked and robbed.

What is the 'L.E.T.S.G.O.' acronym for vehicle safety?

The 'L.E.T.S.G.O.' acronym is a self-defense strategy for entering and exiting vehicles efficiently. It stands for: L-Lock doors, E-Engine on, T-Transmission in gear, S-Scan surroundings, G-Get organized, and O-On your way. This process minimizes the time spent exposed in vulnerable transitional spaces.

Why is purse carry considered a disadvantage in self-defense?

Purse carry is a disadvantage because purses can be easily stolen, and more importantly, it significantly hinders the ability to draw a firearm quickly under duress. In a rapid attack scenario, the time required to access a firearm from a purse may be too long to effectively defend oneself.

How quickly must one be able to draw a firearm in a sudden attack?

In sudden, high-threat situations like the one depicted, a victim may only have approximately two seconds to react and draw a firearm. This necessitates keeping the firearm on your person and practicing rapid draw techniques to be prepared for such emergencies.
