Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most important advice for reacting during a robbery?

The most critical advice is to avoid physical confrontation. Prioritize contacting law enforcement immediately, securing yourself and your family in a safe location, and relying on your training to manage emotions and make rational decisions rather than acting on instinct alone.

How should you handle a robbery if you have firearms available?

Even with firearms available, the primary recommendation is not to intervene directly. Your training should guide you to secure your family, call 911, and prepare to defend your safe space if necessary, rather than engaging intruders outside or in an uncertain situation.

What are the benefits of a USCCA membership during a self-defense incident?

A USCCA membership provides crucial support, including a 24/7 critical response team, legal representation, and funding for legal battles that may follow a self-defense act. This protection helps alleviate the immense stress and financial burden on victims.

How can security systems help during a robbery?

Security systems with cameras and alarms are vital. Cameras provide evidence and allow you to monitor the situation from a safe room, while alarms alert you to intrusions and automatically contact law enforcement, giving you time to prepare without direct exposure.
