“Tag: armed citizen”

I really enjoy seeing some of the debates and arguments over whether the Isosceles stance or the Weaver stance is the best, so let’s look at reality.

If you think about it, we spend our entire lives using our voice to get what we want and to try to avoid what we don’t. It is interesting how some folks develop this into quite an art, while others don’t have a clue.

While some matters of self-defense have changed throughout history, other critical factors remain unchanged.

How does an armed citizen avoid being confused for a threat? There’s no simple solution, but there are ways to minimize that concern.

Bill Jordan and I became friends in about 1976 and remained so until his death in 1997. Born in Louisiana in 1911, Jordan had a lengthy career in the U.S. Border Patrol, interrupted by World War II service as a fighting Marine.

For NRA members, reports about self-defense incidents are always handy.

Once the armed citizen has advanced to the point that he or she can draw and shoot their defensive handgun safely, accurately and quickly, it would be a very good idea to start adding movement to the defensive response. Movement has the potential to momentarily confuse and surprise an attacker, allowing the citizen to gain a bit of advantage.

One of the best things the armed citizen can do is to create a diversion that will mess up the crook’s pre-planned agenda.

Sometimes a little customization is just what the armed citizen needs.
