Frequently Asked Questions

What is the TAP IFS acronym used in post-incident procedures?

TAP IFS stands for Threat (is it down?), Accomplices, Partners, Injury check, Firearm status, and Seek help. It's a critical checklist for ensuring safety and proper response after a defensive engagement.

How can a victim create an opportunity during a robbery?

The video demonstrates 'purposeful compliance,' where the victim intentionally complied briefly to create a distraction (dropping a backpack) and an opportunity to draw his firearm and counter the attack.

What is the recommended firearm capacity for self-defense against multiple attackers?

When facing multiple attackers, a high-capacity firearm is recommended to ensure sufficient ammunition is available to neutralize the increased threat level effectively.

What is a key tactical mistake to avoid after neutralizing a threat?

A significant mistake is approaching downed threats too closely. They may still be dangerous, and it's crucial to maintain a safe distance until law enforcement or medical personnel arrive.
