Frequently Asked Questions

What tactical advantage does a robber gain by using a handgun as an impact weapon?

Using a handgun as an impact weapon can sometimes indicate that the attacker is hesitant to shoot, potentially providing a tactical clue to a defender about the attacker's willingness to escalate to lethal force.

Why is it dangerous to re-engage an armed attacker after establishing distance?

Re-engaging an armed attacker once distance has been created is highly dangerous because the firearm's range advantage can be exploited by the assailant, putting the defender at significant risk.

What is the 'leveraging arm' tactic in self-defense?

A 'leveraging arm' is when an attacker uses their arm, often holding a weapon, to maintain control or create distance, specifically to prevent a defender from seizing or disarming them of the weapon.

What motivated the bank employee to fight back against the robber?

The bank employee's decision to shift from compliance to active resistance was primarily motivated by the need to defend a coworker who had just arrived, demonstrating a strong instinct for third-party protection.
