Around 1 AM in March, police officers received a call about a man who had tried to commit suicide and was now wandering the neighborhood with serious injuries.
A family member wanted help finding him before he passed away from his injuries.
A very sad situation.
Multiple police officers immediately sprung into action to find him.
When one officer found him walking across the street, he got out of his patrol car and called out to him.
Here’s where the lesson comes in:
Dashcam and body-worn camera footage shows the man rapidly approaching the officer with one hand in his pocket.
In fact, police say that the attacker covered 35 feet in 2 seconds.
Can you unholster, get on target, and fire accurately in 2 seconds?
That’s how fast an encounter could happen.
Hear me say this loud and clear:
In a self-defense incident, you don’t have time to make a list of pros and cons, weigh your options, or get feedback on your decision.
You may only have a split second to stop a deadly threat.
And the truth is, many gun owners just aren’t ready for it.
Now, it’s not your fault, of course. Everyday life doesn’t prepare you for that kind of decision-making.
That’s why you have to train.
You need these decisions to be second nature to you. You have to learn to process information effectively, so you can make a decision before the decision is made for you.
Now, I know many responsibly armed Americans aren’t sworn to run into potentially deadly situations like this police officer was.
The fact of the matter is, responsibly armed Americans face real deadly threats every day across this country.
And even if you think the chance is low that you’ll be in a self-defense incident, the stakes are HIGH.
A self-defense incident is a matter of life and death.
If you’re unprepared, it only takes one deadly encounter to change your life forever.
If I don’t train for that, it's like that old saying…
“Failing to plan is planning to fail.”
I don’t want to ever put myself or my loved ones in that situation.
And I know you don’t either.
That’s why you bought a gun, right? To keep them safe?
