Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key self-defense strategies during an armed robbery?

Key strategies include maintaining situational awareness, rapidly escaping the danger zone, and choosing between full compliance or full resistance. If armed, a quick firearm draw can be advantageous. Creating distractions and prioritizing your own escape if an opportunity arises are also crucial.

What is the statistical difference in injury rates between compliant and armed victims in robberies?

Victims who are fully compliant in armed robberies are injured about 25% of the time. However, if the victim is armed and engages the assailant, the injury rate drops significantly to about 6%, making armed self-defense four times safer.

Why is it important to avoid displaying valuables like expensive watches during daily activities?

Displaying expensive items like watches increases your risk profile, making you a more attractive target for criminals who often seek out such valuables. It's a key pre-attack principle to avoid drawing unnecessary attention to your possessions.

What is the recommended approach if you are with a partner during a robbery and have an escape opportunity?

If you have a clear opportunity to escape while your partner is the primary target, it is recommended to do so immediately. The reasoning is that if you are incapacitated, you cannot help your partner, and ensuring at least one person survives is paramount.
