Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 'stovepipe' malfunction in a firearm?

A 'stovepipe' malfunction occurs when a spent cartridge casing fails to eject properly from a semi-automatic firearm. The casing gets stuck in the ejection port, preventing the slide from closing fully and rendering the gun temporarily inoperable. This often happens when the firearm is 'out of battery'.

What does 'initiative deficit' mean in a defensive context?

'Initiative deficit' refers to the disadvantage defenders face when an attacker initiates the confrontation. Defenders must rapidly orient to the threat, accept the reality of the situation, and overcome their initial surprise to respond effectively, often fighting against the attacker's pre-planned actions.

What are the '5Ds + 1' in gun disarms?

The '5Ds + 1' framework includes Distance, Deflect, Dominate, Distract, Disarm, and Disable. In the context of a gun disarm, 'Dominate' is crucial – meaning to gain and maintain superior control over the firearm, preventing the assailant from using it.

Why is carrying first aid equipment important after a shooting?

Carrying first aid equipment, particularly for penetrating torso wounds, is critical for immediate life-saving intervention. Promptly sealing wounds and initiating transport to a hospital can significantly improve survival rates for victims of gun violence.
