Frequently Asked Questions

What is a common ruse used in robberies?

A common robbery ruse involves creating a physical altercation or distraction, like a staged fight, to divert victims' attention while an accomplice steals valuables from their unattended vehicle or person.

How can one maintain a safe distance from a potential attacker?

Maintaining a safe distance involves using a 'defensive fence' posture with hands up and palms out to establish and keep a reactionary gap, preventing the attacker from closing distance quickly.

When is OC spray recommended for self-defense?

OC spray is recommended when an aggressor closes the distance to within approximately six feet. It serves as a less-lethal tool to stop a physical threat before it escalates to direct contact.

What are the risks associated with multi-attacker scenarios?

Multi-attacker scenarios significantly increase the risk of great bodily harm. Force multipliers like OC spray are vital to manage the numerical disadvantage and defend effectively.
