Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first step to take during a home invasion?

The first crucial step is to know where your firearm is and how to access it immediately. Simultaneously, identify and move to a pre-planned 'position of tactical advantage' within your home for safety.

How should you communicate with 911 during a home invasion?

When calling 911, clearly state that someone is breaking into your house and you fear for your life. Then, place the phone where it can record the events, leaving the line open for dispatchers to hear the situation.

What is the 'fake surrender' tactic for street robberies?

The 'fake surrender' involves appearing to comply with a robber's demands (e.g., reaching for your wallet) while secretly preparing to deploy a defensive tool like pepper spray or a firearm to stop the threat.

What should you do immediately after a self-defense incident on the street?

After stopping the threat, move to a safe location and immediately call 911. Provide a brief description of what happened and the assailant, then state you will make a full statement after consulting with an attorney.
