Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 'follow-home' robbery tactic?

A 'follow-home' robbery occurs when criminals target individuals after they withdraw a large sum of money from a bank or ATM. They follow the victim home and attempt to rob them upon arrival, as seen in this incident from Piura, Peru.

What are the risks of shooting through a car windshield?

Shooting through a car windshield is risky because the glass can significantly alter a bullet's trajectory and accuracy. While effective in this defensive shooting scenario, it's generally advised against unless absolutely necessary due to unpredictability.

What does the 'TAP IFS' acronym stand for in self-defense?

'TAP IFS' is a post-gunfight protocol: Threat (is it over?), Accomplices (are there more?), Partner (is your team okay?), Injuries (check yourself), Firearm (is it functional?), Follow-up (don't chase), and Seek help (call police).

Why are parked cars considered dangerous transitional spaces?

Parked cars are dangerous transitional spaces because occupants are often stationary and vulnerable, making them easy targets for criminals. It's crucial to be aware of surroundings and exit such spaces promptly after arrival or departure.
