Frequently Asked Questions

What tactical advantage does closing the distance offer in a self-defense situation?

Closing the distance can offer a tactical advantage, especially if the threat's back is turned. It allows for a more precise shot, better control of the situation, and the ability to transition to other defensive actions if necessary, such as disarming or using less-lethal force.

When should verbal commands be used in a self-defense encounter?

Verbal commands should be used when feasible before resorting to deadly force, as suggested by Supreme Court rulings. However, in situations of extreme, immediate violence, there may not be time for verbal commands, and direct action might be necessary to protect life.

What is the recommended firearm carry position after a self-defense incident?

After a confrontation, it's advised to maintain a tactical posture. This can involve a compressed high-ready or an unoffensive low-ready position with a firm grip on the firearm. This allows for quick re-engagement if needed while appearing less aggressive to arriving law enforcement.

Why is a hard front sight focus important for shooting accuracy?

A hard front sight focus is crucial for accurate shooting, especially under stress. Your eyes naturally want to focus on the threat, but training yourself to maintain a crisp focus on the front sight ensures better alignment and allows for precise shots when they are most critical.
