EPISODE #5: Deescalation and Boundary Setting

[Marshal Halloway]

EPISODE #5: Deescalation and Boundary Setting
As Michael Bane tells us in this episode, seems that most defense training deals with terms like “close quarter combat” or “defensive firearm use”. But our experts will tell you that the best defense is to always try and avoid any kind of violent confrontation. Mike Janich shows us how being aware and controlling our actions can be the safest way to avoid any possible conflicts that may otherwise turn violent.

And, if you are a concealed carry permit holders, we will demonstrate the proper way to present your firearm from concealment. Rob Pincus shows us how to practice using a firearm from a concealed carry perspective, and the best drills you can use to practice on your own at the range.

Good show.  Tough thing....walking away from someone who needs their behind kicked across the street.

The CCW training in Oklahoma really hammers home that CCW holders have an extra responsibility for avoidance.  I suspect the other states are similar.

Can anyone tell me where I can find the concealed weapon purse/handbag shown in this episode?  It's the first one I've seen that I could see myself carrying. 

Thanks.

Texas CHL classes also emphasize avoidance.  They also spend a lot of time hammering into you the potential consequences of your actions, both mental and legal, whether you were in the right or not.

Another great show guys!

Treesy,

You can find a selection of purse holster options like the one in the episode from http://www.usgalco.com/HolsterP2.asp?CatalogID=149

As well they should. Too many people who I've met think that a gun makes them able to act tougher since they can now "back it up". I can only imagine the legal issues (how many years in jail) of picking a fight when you are carrying a gun....

NH law stipulates that, to paraphrase, If you were running your mouth and instigated a situation you have to take your a$$ whooping AND that applies IN YOUR OWN HOME". While NH law states you have no obligation to retreat in your home, it also states that use of deadly force in an argument/ altercation that YOU initiated you will be charged .
However, if you come across a Sexual assault in progress, you can legally go over and shoot the attacker in the back of the head and nothing will be said.

I guess I wasn't clear that "hammering" home the consequesnces is a positive approach IMHO.  Lots of really good examples and case studies. (I got interrupted by the wife.  Imagine that!)

I agree with this.  Mostly some police officers, including some I've known since we were children together.

I think you got your point across. I was trying to agree with you :-)
