Should we use verbal warning before shooting someone? Or defending ourselves by other means? Yes if at all possible, without losing a tactical advantage. Use verbal warning as a way to not use force to defend yourself. Self defense is a last resort for when awareness and avoidance fail.
Listen to this podcast for more information on when you should and shouldn’t use verbal warnings and how you can avoid a fight.
Home Defense
- Give a Verbal Warning When:
- Everyone is in the safe room
- You have long gun
- Police are on the way
- Because
- You aren’t going hunting
- They already have free rain of the house
- No one is totally quite, they know where you are
- Warning
- I have a gun
- Police are on the way
- If you come down here I will shoot
- Leave Now
- Once and Wait; then again after a minute
- What and listen
- When you hear noise repeat again
- Police will hopefully Identify themselves or let you know they are there through the 911 operator
Outside/On the Road
- If possible
- When it doesn’t lose you the tactical advantage
- Example; Dirtbag pulls knife while on the other side of a car from you
- Not to Use; When someone is pointing a gun or has knife to other person, it’s probably time to shoot, not give warning
- First Person Defender Convenience Store Robbery www.Modernselfprotection.com/Robbery
- If you think you need to stop the attack, stop the attack
- If the person isn’t going to hurt anyone, then let them leave with the money
- You are not there to arrest/capture the bad guy. You are there to protect your family, yourself, your friends, and others; in that order.
- Even Police Officers probably shouldn’t get involved if they don’t have to
- At Start Showing gun is a good deterrent
- If warning or show gun call police as soon as it’s safe
During a Fight
- The time for words has passed
- If you are thinking about what to say then you aren’t thinking about what you are doing
- Favorite cop episode; “stop or I’ll…” bang “shoot!”
- Once you are done fighting or there is an opportunity then start talking again
- Top of the UN building Baghdad 2003, my brain moves faster then my mouth and I look stupid to my Marines
Making Threats
- Don’t do it unless you are prepared to carry out that threat
- Bad guys deal with bad guys for a living they know if you are real or not
- Lost street cred and then you are in trouble because what you could have verbally stopped my turn into a self defense situation
- Example
