Frequently Asked Questions

What are the risks of intervening in a domestic dispute?

Intervening in domestic disputes is complex. Risks include the potential for the victim to turn on the rescuer, and the inherent dangers of physical altercations, especially when grappling, which can compromise firearm retention.

When is using a firearm justified in a parking lot altercation?

Using a firearm is generally justified when facing lethal force. In this case, the suspect choking the victim with a belt was deemed potentially lethal force, which could warrant a firearm response if other options were unavailable or ineffective.

What are safer alternatives to grappling for self-defense?

For concealed carriers, maintaining distance is tactically safer than grappling. Effective intermediate force options like OC spray are recommended as they can de-escalate situations without the risks associated with close-quarters combat and compromised weapon retention.

What is the Mantis X10 and Blackbeard system?

The Mantis X10 is a firearms training sensor analyzing recoil and draw. The Mantis Blackbeard is an auto-resetting trigger system for AR-15s, enabling efficient dry-fire practice without manual cycling.
