Frequently Asked Questions

What are the 'Rules of Stupid' in self-defense?

The 'Rules of Stupid,' also known as Farnam's Law, advise against going to stupid places, with stupid people, at stupid times, or to do stupid things. This principle helps individuals avoid high-risk situations that could lead to violent encounters.

Why is lateral movement crucial during a defensive gun engagement?

Lateral movement is critical because standing still at close range (under 5 yards) makes you an easy target for an attacker. Moving unpredictably helps increase your survivability and makes it harder for the threat to acquire and maintain a clear shot on you.

How quickly can a trained individual engage a threat in a carjacking scenario?

In a carjacking scenario, a trained individual can engage the primary threat within approximately two seconds of the threat presenting itself. This rapid response is crucial for survival, even if the attacker already has a weapon drawn.

What are key considerations after a defensive shooting incident?

After a defensive shooting, key considerations include assessing if you hit the threat, if your actions were effective, whether you sustained injuries, the status of any partners, and the operational readiness of your firearm.
