Frequently Asked Questions

What are transitional spaces in self-defense?

Transitional spaces are areas where individuals are particularly vulnerable, such as stopped vehicles or doorways. Attackers often exploit these moments of reduced awareness or mobility to initiate an assault, making situational awareness crucial.

When should one consider compliance during a self-defense encounter?

Compliance is often the safest initial strategy when an attacker has a clear advantage, such as being armed and having the 'drop' on you. It can de-escalate the situation and provide an opportunity to reassess or escape if possible.

What are the risks of using a firearm to defend property?

Using a firearm to defend property, especially for civilians, carries significant risks. These include potential legal ramifications, the danger of escalating the situation, and the risk of collateral damage due to poor backstops or environmental hazards.

How does the MantisX system aid firearm training?

The MantisX Firearms Training System attaches to a handgun's rail and uses Bluetooth to track barrel movement. It diagnoses shooting mechanics via a smartphone app, providing feedback to help users improve their accuracy and consistency.
