SELF DEFENSE
PHYSIOLOGY/PSYCHOLOGY OF A GUN FIGHT
In any self defense situation, your goal is not to maim or kill your
assailant. It is rather to stay alive, and survive a desperate
confrontation. If flight is possible, escape by any means. If you are
trapped, be prepared to fight. Proper application of deadly force, through
use of a firearm, may represent the only viable means by which the intended
victim can expect to have a chance of living through an assault by an
aggressively determined, physically powerful, or possibly armed attacker.
The mere presence of a gun in the hands of a law abiding citizen often
prevents the occurrence of bloodshed on either side. However, if you are
ever required to fire a gun to save innocent lives, including your own, keep
shooting the assailant in the chest and head until the conflict is over and
the criminal no longer represents a threat. You should not be firing
unless the situation has degenerated to a matter of life or death.
The question of whether or not to issue a warning to your attacker before
firing has implications which can be debated with merit on each side.
Essentially, if warning the assailant endangers your life even further or
exacerbates the situation, don't feel you are somehow morally bound to give
your attacker a time advantage that could result in your death. The violent
encounter is not a duel where a code of honor is involved. It is rather
elemental survival at its basest.
On the other hand, if you feel that a verbal warning is warranted, yell
commands such as: "Back off. I have a gun, don't make me use it;" or "Get
out of here. Don't make me shoot you."
In a home invasion, if you have time, call 911. Yell at the criminal while
on the phone with the police dispatcher. This affords the legal benefit of a
recording of your warning to the criminal in the event of a civil lawsuit
brought against you by the dead or wounded assailant's family.
Before bringing a firearm to bear for self defense, quickly determine if the
following three conditions exist:
By means of their language, actions, behavior, or demeanor, another person
has demonstrated their intent to kill or severely injure you;
This person has ability and the means at hand to carry out their intent,
because they are armed with a knife, gun, club, or other lethal weapon, or,
if unarmed, they are physically capable of overpowering you;
The physical conditions of the encounter are such that the other person has
the opportunity to carry out the attack.
These conditions warrant the use of deadly force on your part. Keep in mind
that all three criteria must exist. Such conduct is not warranted merely
to protect property. You must, unequivocally, be in fear of your life and
in jeopardy of serious physical harm or death.
When the conflict is over, put your firearm into a safe condition, secure it
, contact law enforcement officials, call for an ambulance, and retain the
services of an attorney.
The judicial system in America tends to favor the criminal rather than the
victim. It is wise to become familiar with state and local statutes, codes
and ordinances regarding the use of deadly force ahead of time to ascertain
your rights and responsibilities under the law.
A court of law will investigate and determine if your use of force was
logical (involved sound judgment), was reasonable (sane, lucid, rational)
and was necessary (unavoidable). If you have acted in a proper manner, no
criminal charges will be filed.
However, be aware that a civil action will likely will be brought by your
attacker's relatives. After all, you have deprived them of potential income
associated with the deceased's future criminal activities! Successfully
defending yourself in court of law may cost up to six figures, but that is
of little consequence when you consider that your justified use of deadly
force saved your own life. |
