Frequently Asked Questions

How can vehicles be used for cover in a self-defense situation?

Vehicles can provide limited cover. The sheet metal, wheels, and axles offer some protection. It's crucial to take a knee or drop low to utilize these parts effectively, rather than relying on the glass, which offers no ballistic protection.

What is the difference between cover and concealment when using a vehicle?

Cover is anything that stops or deflects bullets, like the metal body of a car. Concealment is anything that hides you from view, like tinted windows or bushes. Vehicle glass offers concealment but not effective cover against gunfire.

Why is decision-making training important for self-defense?

Decision-making training is vital because it prepares individuals to react appropriately under stress. It goes beyond marksmanship to teach when and how to use force, assess threats, and utilize cover and concealment effectively in dynamic situations.

What are Simunitions and how are they used in training?

Simunitions are non-lethal training rounds that simulate live ammunition. They are used in force-on-force scenarios to provide realistic training for self-defense and tactical situations without the risk of serious injury from live firearms.
