1. It is generally believed that the first person to call 911 is the victim.

2. After defending yourself with a firearm outside your home, select the option(s) that you should NOT do or say when the police arrive.

3. If there are witnesses to your self-defense incident, you should ask then if they are injured and ask everyone to call 911 to make a statement as to what they heard and saw. You should also call 911 yourself.

4. The Supreme Court has held that police must stop questioning suspects once they assert their right to counsel, but it has also held that a person must affirmatively invoke the right to silence.

5. The levels of proof are: Mere suspicion, articulable suspicion, probable cause, preponderance of the evidence and beyond a reasonable doubt

6. The material presented on the UAPDI WEB site or by a UAPDI instructor constitutes legal advise?

7. Using the Kimber 1911 as an example, this gun is carried safely in a cocked and locked fashion.

8. As a very general rule, no one is obligated to speak to the police, but even non-verbal communication can, in some situations, be incriminating.

9. Following a defensive shooting, a person is likely to experience elation and self-doubt.

10. 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;
  5. Fight - The use of reasonable force to prevent an attacker from harming you

11. Travelers need to know the rules of the road before heading to another state with firearms.

12. Some states have "shall issue” permit laws while other states have "may issue” permit laws. The difference is, in "shall issue” states, the agency in question must issue your permit to carry a firearm if you pass the background check and/or pass other specific parameters established by law. For states with a "may issue” permit law, it is at the complete discretion of law enforcement (or some other governmental agency) as to whether or not you should be issued a permit to carry a firearm.

13. You cannot claim self-defense if the shooting was an accident or a mistake.

14. Police are not legally liable for failing to protect individual citizens, only the community at large.

15. Minnesota statute 609.666 specifically authorizes the use of deadly force to prevent the commission of a felony in the home.
