Frequently Asked Questions

What is 'purposeful compliance' in self-defense?

Purposeful compliance is a self-defense tactic where an individual complies with an attacker's demands temporarily to create a tactical advantage or wait for an opportunity to counter-ambush, rather than immediately resisting or surrendering.

How effective is a long gun in a defensive situation?

A long gun is a significant force multiplier. Its mere presence can deter multiple attackers, changing the dynamics of a confrontation and potentially resolving the situation without the need for firing.

What are the legal risks of using excessive force in self-defense?

Using force beyond what is necessary to stop an immediate threat, such as striking a subdued attacker with a rifle stock, can be legally classified as assault or even lethal force, leading to severe legal consequences.

Do most defensive gun uses involve firing a weapon?

No, statistics suggest that approximately 80% of defensive gun uses (DGUs) do not result in the firearm being discharged. The visible presence and intent to use the weapon are often enough to deter threats.
