Frequently Asked Questions

What are the 'rules of stupid' in self-defense?

The 'rules of stupid' advise against being in a stupid place, with stupid people, or doing stupid things. This includes avoiding high-crime areas and refraining from displaying valuable items like phones, which can attract unwanted attention and increase vulnerability to attack.

How can one recognize pre-attack indicators?

A key pre-attack indicator is an unknown individual entering your personal space without invitation. This behavior can be a form of 'grooming' by an assailant, signaling an imminent threat or assault.

When is deadly force legally justified in a self-defense situation?

Deadly force is often legally justifiable in situations involving a mob attack where multiple assailants are causing or attempting to cause great bodily harm or death. It can be used for self-defense or the defense of others.

What is 'emotional fitness' in the context of self-defense?

Emotional fitness refers to the ability to remain mentally present and composed during a crisis. It allows individuals to make rational decisions, act decisively, and seize opportunities for escape, rather than freezing or succumbing to panic.
