Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 'Ability, Opportunity, Jeopardy' framework in self-defense?

It's a legal standard to assess if a threat is 'deadly.' Ability means the attacker has the means to cause death/great bodily harm, Opportunity means they can act on it, and Jeopardy means the victim perceives an immediate threat.

Is a folding knife considered a deadly threat in a robbery?

Yes, a folding knife is considered a deadly threat. Even if the attacker puts it away, the threat remains if the intent was established and the weapon is readily accessible.

What are the statistics on compliance versus armed resistance during robberies?

Statistics suggest that while 75% of compliant victims remain uninjured, those who resist with a firearm have a significantly higher chance, around 94%, of remaining uninjured.

How important is draw-to-first-hit time in self-defense?

A quick draw-to-first-hit time, like 1.5 seconds, can be crucial for countering an ambush. It provides an option to act defensively, especially if the attacker's attention wavers.
