Frequently Asked Questions

What tactical advantage did the clerk have in the armed robbery?

The clerk had a counter-ambush opportunity when the armed robber was distracted. This allowed the second employee to approach from behind and neutralize the threat quickly.

What is considered a critical draw time for self-defense in a counter-ambush situation?

Experts emphasize that a fast draw, ideally between 1.5 to 2.0 seconds, is critical when an attacker is distracted, allowing for a swift defensive response.

When is the use of deadly force legally justified in a self-defense scenario?

Deadly force is justified when an attacker poses an immediate lethal threat to yourself or others. The 'fairness' of the confrontation is secondary to the imminent danger.

What are the physiological 'stops' discussed in defensive shooting?

The discussion covers 'hydraulic' (circulatory) stops, which disrupt blood flow, and 'electrical' (CNS) stops, which disrupt the central nervous system, both aiming to immediately incapacitate the threat.
