Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended carry method for quick access during a carjacking?

John Correia of Active Self Protection emphasizes carrying firearms on-body rather than in a safe or glove box. This ensures immediate access to your firearm when facing a sudden threat like a carjacking attempt.

What type of ammunition does Active Self Protection recommend for self-defense?

Active Self Protection recommends high-quality Jacketed Hollow Points (JHP) for self-defense. JHPs are designed to expand upon impact, maximizing energy transfer to the target and minimizing the risk of over-penetration.

What are crucial steps to take immediately after a defensive shooting incident?

After a defensive shooting, it's vital to secure the attacker's weapon to prevent further harm. Most importantly, immediately report the incident to the police to establish your actions as a justified use of force.

How important is situational awareness in preventing carjackings?

Situational awareness is critical. Avoiding loitering in vehicles and being constantly aware of your surroundings can significantly reduce your vulnerability to carjacking attempts. Early detection allows for a better response.
