1. Beyond a reasonable doubt would suggest 75% to 99% certainty.

2. Semi-automatics are generally considered to be less complicated to operate than revolvers.

3. In the state of Minnesota, the permit-to-carry class is not the place to learn how to shoot.

4. 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?

5. A good quality belt and holster is ideally required to properly support and retain a firearm.

6. 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.

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

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

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

10. The Glock 19 has no exposed hammer. This gun uses an internal striker.

11. In order to use deadly force against another, the attacker must truly have the ability to kill or cause great bodily harm. This "ability” may come in the form of having a dangerous or deadly weapon or a disparity of force exists between the victim and the attacker. Select all the items below that represent a "disparity of force".

12. 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.

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

 

14. Laws can differ greatly from state-to-state. This is especially true where firearms are concerned and the legal use of force.

15. In the state of Minnesota, the shooting qualification to get your permit to carry a firearm, typically consists of firing 30 to 50 rounds of ammunition at two different distances into two targets.
