1. For target shooting, look for expensive name brand ammunition that is corrosive.

2. Regarding the color codes of awareness, when outside the home, you should be at condition yellow (aware of your surroundings)

3. 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.

4. After a self-defense shooting, remaining calm and in control will be important because it will set the tone for how others perceive you and how law enforcement officers interact with you.

5. With single action firearms, the trigger mechanism performs only one function, to release the hammer or striker.

6. In a 2006 CNN report, Minneapolis ranked in the top 25 most dangerous cities in the US.

7. Select all the items below that can impact accuracy when firing a gun.

 

8. Never surrender your firearm to anyone other than a uniformed police officer or security guard.

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

10. Depending on your jurisdiction, there are up to five elements of self-defense law:

  1. Avoidance - Escape if you can
  2. Innocence - Don't start or provoke the fight
  3. Imminence - The attack has started or is about to begin immediately (AOJ-P analysis)
  4. Proportionality - Equal force (you cannot use deadly force against a non-deadly threat)
  5. Reasonableness - You made good decisions under the circumstances

If a prosecutor can disprove any of the five elements, your self-defense justification collapses.

11. Firearms don't generally need to be cleaned to prevent lead, copper and powder buildup in the firearm.

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. 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

14. Which Amendment to the US Constitution provides that, "No person... shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself..."

15. 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.
