Inside CCW Safe Podcast- Episode 11: Citizen’s Use of Force Continuum, Part II

Listen to the “Inside CCW Safe” Podcast

This week Mike and Stan are in New York and they continue the discussion about the citizen’s use of force continuum. This week they talk about the 2 levels of threat assessment and calling for assistance.

Stan and Mike both have examples from members where the member has used various techniques to avoid deadly encounters, and followed the use of force continuum.

Most of the conversation is spent on threat assessment, and they talk about determining if a threat is valid, which would be intent, if the attacker has the ability to attack, and also if the attacker has the opportunity to attack.  If those three core elements are met, then most self defense actions will be seen as justified. If not, then you could easily find yourself in jail and charged with a serious crime.

Next week they will continue with the final two levels of the continuum, physical action and deadly force.

Remember, you should always attempt to fall back on avoidance if possible, and avoid any deadly encounter.

Stay safe out there, and have a great weekend!
