Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most critical factor in stopping an armed robbery threat?

The most critical factor is stopping the threat quickly. This often involves precise targeting, such as the 'command and control center' (the head), to neutralize the danger immediately and effectively.

What tactical advice is given regarding carrying a firearm?

It's strongly advised to carry your firearm on your person rather than leaving it in a vehicle. This ensures immediate access should a threat arise unexpectedly, maximizing your ability to defend yourself.

Why is a quality holster important in a self-defense situation?

A quality holster ensures a smooth and safe draw. A poor holster can cause fumbling, potentially leading to the firearm pointing at the user or delaying the critical moment of drawing to defend oneself.

What are the recommended post-incident steps after stopping a threat?

After stopping a threat, you should check for additional threats, perform a self-check for injuries, check on others nearby, and promptly call emergency services to report the incident.
