Test Your Knowledge

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

2. Using excessive force to defend yourself could result in criminal charges.

3. Regarding the color codes of awareness, condition "blue" represents an attack is about to happen immediately.

4. A gun or knife are examples of "ability" to cause great bodily harm or death.

5. After notifying a police officer that you are carrying a firearm, if there are specific instructions given by the officer that you do not understand, ask for clarification.

6. Most, if not all states provide some means to allow private citizens to carry a loaded firearm on their person and in public (outside their home) for personal defense.

7. There are two types of handguns: Revolvers and short barrel rifles.

8. You should not approach the person you have just shot because this person may still be dangerous and faking injury to gain the upper hand.

9. If you point your gun at someone and you are not able to articulate your legal justification for doing so, you run the risk of criminal prosecution.

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

12. Self-defense is not an affirmative defense.

13. If you are attacked by someone with superior fighting skills, disparity of force can exist. The challenge is you must know your attacker possesses these skills at the time of the attack.

14. Reasonable force can best be described as the level of force proportionate to the level of unlawful force about to be utilized against the victim.

15. Properly documenting your training (formal and informal) is important so that you can prove in court that you had specific knowledge at the time of the shooting.
