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.
