The reaction gap principle will help answer the following questions:
What is an immediate threat?
What is intent?
When is the handgun a viable means of self defense and when is it not?
How does this apply to contact or remote weapon ?
Remember you are RE-Acting to a deadly threat
Defending yourself against a contact or remote weapon
Based on the "Doctrine of the Reasonable Man" you have a right to use deadly force if it is reasonable to believe there is an imminent threat of deadly force or grave bodily harm being used against you or someone else.
You are defending yourself against a contact or remote weapon
Contact Weapon: The person or an extension of the person. Ex: hands, feet or an object in them. (Knife, Baseball bat, etc)
Remote Weapon: Devices that can inflict death or grave bodily harm from a remote distance. (Handgun, rifle, shotgun, bow and arrow)
The reaction gap is the time it takes to recognize and respond to a threat.
Keep in mind the following principles.
You can create a reaction gap by;
1. Creating distance to respond
2. Putting an object between you and the attacker.
This will create the time you need to respond
Contact weapon:
The average trained law enforcement officer takes about 1.5 seconds to recognize and respond to contact weapon threat. (Recognize the threat, draw his handgun fire three rounds and move out of the attackers path). (kill zone)
The average person can cover 21ft in 1.5 seconds.
If the aggressor initiates an attack at 21 ft you will have time to draw your handgun from a concealed carry position and defend yourself ? Probably not unless you are very good at drawing from a concealed carry position and engaging a threat under a stressful situation.
An attack with a knife can be an immediate threat from 21 feet or possible more if adequate cover is not available.
An attack with a handgun can be an immediate threat from several hundred feet away if adequate cover is not available.
How often does an assault occur at closer than 21ft?
Answer: Almost all of them are.
The reality is close proximity assault may require techniques such as hands on self- defense.
Don't let you first attempt at self defense become an experiment that failed!
Learn how to defend yourself with our CCSD "Transitional Training Course" technique.
Transitional training is the safe way to learn how to defend yourself using concealed carry gear and concealed carry self techniques.
Concealed carry self-defense means (1) selecting the concealed carry gear (2) selecting the handgun (3) being able to access the handgun (4) engage and stop an adversary under most anticipated conditions. If you can not get the handgun to the gun-fight and hit the target, nothing else will matter.
