Frequently Asked Questions

What tactical advantages does on-body firearm carry offer over a staged firearm?

On-body carry provides significantly faster deployment in a self-defense situation. In the analyzed incident, a staged firearm took approximately 3.5 seconds to access, whereas on-body carry is designed for immediate draw, crucial when facing an active threat.

What is 'slide bite' and how can it be avoided?

'Slide bite' is an injury or malfunction caused by the shooter's hand or thumb contacting the firearm's slide during recoil. It's typically avoided by maintaining a proper, consistent grip that keeps the thumb clear of the slide's path during cycling.

Is it legally permissible to shoot a fleeing suspect in the back?

Legally, shooting a suspect in the back can be justifiable if they continue to pose an imminent deadly threat to you or others at the precise moment the shot is fired. The threat level dictates the legality of force used.

What are the recommended actions for bystanders during an armed robbery?

For non-combatants or bystanders, the recommended action is to immediately identify the danger and exit the 'danger zone' as quickly as possible. Avoid confrontation and prioritize personal safety by creating distance from the threat.
