Hey, Tim Miller here with Real Security. So you got your concealed, you've done some training. Now you're carrying a weapon ready to make life or death decisions. What do you do here?

Tim Miller (00:21.826)

You're seated at the bar. You're watching this happen. Uh-oh, what do we do now?

Tim Miller (00:33.890)

What state do you live in? What laws do you have? Is he a threat to you? Is he a threat to someone else? Quick, you gotta make these decisions. And he leaves. But one person in the bar decides he's gonna take a shot. Suspect goes down. What do we do now? Was it a facts-based shooting? Or, God forbid, could it go like this?

Tim Miller (01:10.466)

Let me ask you folks, are you prepared for this? Because if not, this is the kind of training you're gonna need, whether and when, to make life or death decisions in quarter second increments. And that's what we're gonna talk about. You see, it does matter that you have your concealed, you've gone through the requirements for it, you've had that training, but it matters way more that you know not just how to shoot, but when to shoot. That's what we're gonna focus on folks. After the fight, lessons learned.

We're gonna be looking at real scenarios and training scenarios. The one you just saw is a training scenario I use to train concealed carriers around the country. So here's the thought process. If you don't know when to shoot, you better ask yourself four questions and you better know the answers. Number one, what do the laws in your state tell you you can do? Do you have a duty to retreat?

Can you stand your ground? You better know those laws because that's what's gonna be held against you. Number two, do you have the facts? Not feelings, I was in fear for my, no. Do you have the facts to take lethal and deadly action at the time of the shooting? Number three, was the force you used based on those facts objectively reasonable? In other words, if someone's punching someone, did you shoot them?

Well, all the facts dictate what kind of force you can use. And then finally was the force that you use, the duration of that force, objectively reasonable. And that means that once the subject was down, did you cease and desist from actions that could cause further harm or damage to them? Those are just a few of the things we're gonna talk about. And folks, with the way our country's going, this is really important stuff. We want you to stay on the right side of the law. We want you to stay healthy.

We also want you to stay safe. So be safe out there. We'll be putting a bunch of these out. Stay tuned.
