Frequently Asked Questions

How did the burglars gain entry in the Active Self Protection video?

The five home invaders hacked a garage door opener to gain entry during the day. They arrived in a silver Kia Soul, and at least two were visibly armed with handguns.

What tactical advantage did the homeowner utilize during the gunfight?

The homeowner positioned himself at the top of the stairs, effectively using it as a 'choke point' or 'fatal funnel'. This superior vantage point allowed him to engage the intruders as they attempted to climb.

What is the recommended advice regarding chasing fleeing burglars?

The host strongly advises against chasing fleeing suspects outside the residence. This action increases personal risk and potential legal liability, making it a tactically unsound decision.

What security measure is recommended for garage entry into a home?

It is highly recommended to always lock the door that separates the garage from the main living area of the house. This creates a secondary barrier against intruders who may breach the garage.
