Frequently Asked Questions

What tactical advantage did the prepared father use during the armed robbery?

The defender used purposeful compliance to distract the robbers, creating an opportunity to draw his firearm. He also employed a 'visual blockade' technique, using one assailant to shield his draw from the gunman's view.

Why is carrying an Every Day Carry (EDC) firearm important for self-defense?

The first rule of gunfighting is having a gun. Carrying an EDC ensures you are prepared to defend yourself and your family in unexpected situations, especially in transitional spaces where threats often occur.

What are the risks associated with shooting at fleeing suspects?

Shooting at fleeing suspects carries significant legal risks, as self-defense laws often require an imminent threat. Tactically, accuracy decreases, and there's a risk of hitting unintended targets or the suspect escaping further.

What does 'shooting at your speed of competence' mean in self-defense?

It means firing your weapon while maintaining control, accuracy, and situational awareness, rather than simply firing as fast as possible out of fear. It emphasizes effective hits over sheer speed.
