Frequently Asked Questions

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

The 'Rules of Stupid' advise against going to stupid places at stupid times with stupid people. This framework helps identify and avoid high-risk situations that increase the likelihood of becoming a victim, such as being at a late-night drive-thru.

What is the danger of 'drawing from the drop' in a self-defense scenario?

'Drawing from the drop' refers to drawing your firearm when an assailant already has a gun pointed at you. This is extremely dangerous because the assailant can fire before you successfully draw and aim your weapon, making compliance a potentially safer option.

How does Texas law address using deadly force for property?

Texas Penal Code 9.42 permits deadly force to protect property under specific, limited circumstances. However, instructors often advise that the practical risks and legal aftermath of engaging in a shootout for a stolen vehicle outweigh the potential benefits.

What are key indicators of a potential attack at a drive-thru?

Key indicators include loitering individuals, especially teenagers, in the vicinity of a drive-thru during late hours. Such observations should prompt drivers to increase their vigilance and consider leaving the area if it feels unsafe.
