3. Current laws (criminal or civil) shield Good Samaritans.

4. AOJ-P is short for Ability, Opportunity, Jeopardy and Preclusion. If all four elements are satisfied, the use of deadly force is generally authorized. The AOJ-P analysis is used to identify a real threat and imminence of the danger being faced.

9. For legal reasons, never use the phrases and or words "kill”, "accident", "mistake" or "I didn't mean to" (just to name a few), when referring to or describing your own actions.

10. Training, reading and visualization through what-if scenarios can help you be more prepared should you ever have to defend yourself.

11. Pertinent information for the 911 operator would include: (1) Full name; (2) Location / address; (3) I was attacked and I had to defend myself

12. There are five possible responses to a life-threatening encounter:

  1. Freeze - The victim of the attack may be so overwhelmed or surprised by being threatened, the victim may become incapable of any action;
  2. Submit - Simply giving into the attacker;
  3. Posture - Combat without combat. Words, sounds, gestures and body language are weapons used to dominate, intimidate and subdue another. Depending on circumstances, the attacker and the victim, one may try to out-bluster the other until one backs down or flees.;
  4. Flight - Retreat or running away from the situation;

15. The two primary reasons "open carry" is a bad idea include: (1) There is a high probability that anyone who sees you with a handgun will call 911 and law enforcement will be forced to waste their time and yours investigating your lawful right to carry. (2) You are alerting potential attackers that you have a gun which eliminates or greatly reduces your tactical advantage. Why give others (criminals) the advance notice that you are carrying a firearm?
