Frequently Asked Questions

What is force-on-force training and why is it important for concealed carry holders?

Force-on-force training uses marking cartridges like Simunition FX to simulate real-world threats, providing a 'pain penalty' that builds stress inoculation. This is crucial for concealed carry holders to test and improve their defensive skills under realistic pressure.

What tactical techniques were taught in the workplace shooting scenario?

Instructors emphasized using cover and concealment effectively, employing the 'pieing the corner' technique to clear angles safely, and incorporating movement and changes in elevation to maintain a tactical advantage.

What common mistakes do concealed carry holders make in defensive scenarios?

Common mistakes include overestimating preparedness based on non-defensive firearm experience, remaining static under threat which negates the 'reactionary gap', and failing to practice accessing a firearm from off-body storage under stress.

How can concealed carry holders improve their survivability in a shooting incident?

Improvement comes from realistic training like force-on-force, focusing on tactical movement, proper use of cover, understanding concepts like the 'reactionary gap', and practicing firearm access under stress.
