Firearm Self Defense Theory

Firearm Self Defense Theory

1. Foundational Principles

  • Legality: Know your local laws about justified use of force, deadly force, Castle Doctrine, Stand Your Ground, and carry regulations.
  • Immediacy of Threat: Only use deadly force when you reasonably believe you're in imminent danger of death or serious harm.
  • Proportionality: Your response must match the threat. Excessive force can be unjustified legally and morally.

2. The "AOJ" or "AOI" Triangle

  • Ability: The attacker has the means (weapon, strength, etc.).
  • Opportunity: They're in a position to carry out the attack.
  • Jeopardy/Intent: Their actions indicate a clear intent to harm.

3. Tactical Theory

  • Avoidance first: Stay out of danger when possible.
  • De-escalation: Always try to defuse situations before resorting to force.
  • Use of cover: Protect yourself physically if a threat occurs.
  • Know your backdrop: Be responsible for every round fired.

4. Training and Mindset

  • Regular training: Practice marksmanship, safety, and decision-making.
  • Scenario-based practice: Simulate real-life self-defense situations.
  • Mindset development: Understand the gravity and consequences of using deadly force.

5. Aftermath Considerations

  • Call 911 with minimal details: "I was attacked. Send help."
  • Request a lawyer before giving full statements.
  • Expect stress reactions and legal proceedings.

6. Moral and Ethical Dimensions

  • Ask yourself: Could I have avoided this?
  • Can I live with the outcome?
  • Was the threat truly unavoidable?

Note: Self-defense is about avoiding violence when possible, and surviving it when there is no other option.
