Frequently Asked Questions

What is a tuckable holster and why is it useful for concealed carry?

A tuckable holster, like the Alien Gear model shown, allows you to conceal a firearm even when wearing a tucked-in shirt. This is achieved by clips that hold the holster to your belt, allowing your shirt to be tucked behind them, providing more flexibility in clothing choices for concealed carry.

What are the key takeaways from the 'First Person Defender' self-defense scenario?

The scenario highlights the critical need for tactical training beyond basic concealed carry. It emphasizes situational awareness, effective distance management, ammunition conservation, and the psychological preparedness required to act decisively under extreme stress.

Why is distance a critical factor in a self-defense shooting scenario?

Engaging a threat at excessive distances, such as over 50 feet, significantly reduces accuracy and increases the likelihood of running out of ammunition before neutralizing the threat. It also increases the risk of missing and potentially endangering bystanders.

What should a defender do if they run out of ammunition during a confrontation?

If a firearm is out of ammunition and the threat persists, a defender's last resort is to use the firearm as an impact weapon (clubbing) to create distance or incapacitate the attacker, or to attempt to escape if possible.
