Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key tactical considerations during a home invasion?

Key tactical considerations include immediate 911 contact, assessing family presence, and controlled entry into compromised areas. Prioritize seeking cover, maintaining situational awareness, and executing proper firearm malfunction drills under stress.

How should one approach clearing a house during a home invasion?

Clearing a house requires deliberate, short steps around corners, keeping the elbow tucked in to minimize exposure. Always scan for threats, maintain focus on the front sight, and be prepared to engage or seek cover instantly.

What are the benefits of using a .22 LR firearm for training?
