Duration: 19:45

This video demonstrates techniques for women carrying concealed firearms, particularly when using a purse. It emphasizes the importance of creating an opportunity to draw and engage an attacker, rather than being caught in a 'bad trade' where both parties act simultaneously. Key strategies include waiting for the attacker's attention to shift or creating a diversion to gain an advantage.

Quick Summary

Carrying a concealed firearm in a purse presents challenges as it's off-body. To effectively draw, women should learn to create opportunities by exploiting moments when an attacker's attention is diverted or by using purposeful compliance to gain a tactical advantage, thus avoiding a dangerous 'bad trade'.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main challenges of carrying a concealed firearm in a purse?

Carrying a firearm in a purse is convenient as it's always with you, but it's considered off-body carry. This means you must have a deliberate strategy to access the firearm quickly and effectively when a threat arises, as it's not immediately accessible like on-body carry.

How can a woman create an opportunity to draw her concealed firearm from a purse?

Creating an opportunity involves exploiting moments when the attacker's attention is diverted or using purposeful compliance. For instance, agreeing to go with an attacker but requesting to grab your purse can provide the time and space needed to draw your weapon unnoticed.

What is a 'bad trade' in self-defense scenarios?

A 'bad trade' occurs when both the defender and the attacker draw their weapons simultaneously. This negates any tactical advantage for the defender and can lead to a mutual engagement where neither party has a clear upper hand, increasing the risk for the defender.

What is the significance of 'waiting your turn' in self-defense?

'Waiting your turn' means strategically waiting for the optimal moment to act, typically when the attacker's attention is elsewhere or when you have created a tactical advantage. This avoids a simultaneous engagement ('bad trade') and increases your chances of a successful outcome.
