Frequently Asked Questions

What is the TAP-IFFS acronym for post-incident actions?

TAP-IFFS stands for Threat (is he down?), Accomplices (are there more?), Partner (is your help okay?), Injuries (are you hurt?), Firearm (is it working?), Follow-up (what's next?), and Seek help (call 911). It provides a structured approach to managing the aftermath of a defensive encounter.

What tactical advice is given regarding firearm ready positions?

Instructor John Correia suggests that a slightly higher 'low ready' position, around 30 degrees, might offer a speed advantage in presenting the firearm compared to a 45-degree angle, especially in a rapid engagement scenario.

Why is recognizing accomplices important in a defensive encounter?

Failing to identify and account for accomplices can be dangerous, as they may pose a continued threat even after the primary attacker has fled or been neutralized. Situational awareness must extend beyond the immediate aggressor.

What role does a firearm play in deterring robberies?

The presence of a legally carried firearm can act as a powerful deterrent. In many cases, the mere presentation of a weapon by a prepared individual is enough to cause potential robbers to flee, preventing violence and loss.
