Frequently Asked Questions

What tactical advice does John Correia offer regarding firearm carry?

John Correia strongly advises carrying firearms on-body for immediate access during critical incidents, rather than in a glove box or safe. He also stresses the importance of maintaining situational awareness and keeping vehicle doors locked and windows up to enhance security.

What are the key differences between JHP and FMJ ammunition for self-defense?

Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP) ammunition is designed to expand upon impact, maximizing energy transfer and minimizing over-penetration. Full Metal Jacket (FMJ) ammunition, while good for training, offers less expansion and can increase the risk of over-penetration in self-defense scenarios.

Why is it important to report a self-defense incident to the police immediately?

Promptly reporting a self-defense incident to law enforcement is crucial to establish your role as the defender and avoid appearing as the aggressor. This documentation helps ensure legal justification for the use of force and can prevent potential criminal charges.

What are the risks associated with shooting through vehicle glass?

While vehicle glass is not bulletproof, it can act as a psychological barrier for criminals and may slightly deflect or slow projectiles. Shooting through glass requires careful consideration of accuracy and potential ricochet hazards, though it can be a viable option if necessary.
