Frequently Asked Questions

What is the national standard for draw-to-first-shot time for concealed carriers?

The national standard for concealed carriers, as referenced by evidence-based defensive trainer John Correia, is approximately 2.0 seconds from drawing the firearm to firing the first shot. This benchmark was met by the clerk in the analyzed incident.

What is the 'FIBs factor' in self-defense?

The 'FIBs factor' (Fudge, I've Been Shot) refers to the psychological and physiological impact of being shot on an assailant. Understanding this can help predict their behavior and determine when a threat has been neutralized.

What tactical advice is given regarding post-threat engagement?

After neutralizing a threat, it is advised not to pursue fleeing individuals. Instead, consolidate your position, maintain dominance over the area, and immediately contact emergency services for assistance.

Why is a two-handed grip recommended for handgun defense?

A two-handed grip provides significantly better stability and control over the firearm compared to a one-handed grip. This enhanced control leads to improved accuracy, especially during a high-stress defensive encounter.
