NEVER Say *These* Things If You're Carrying Concealed...
This video from the U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) discusses the tactical and legal implications of issuing verbal commands during a self-defense situation when carrying a concealed firearm. Director of Content Kevin Michalowski explains that while a "STOP!" command might deter an attacker in some scenarios, it's not always feasible or necessary in life-or-death situations where immediate action is required. The video also touches on how verbal warnings can transform bystanders into witnesses, potentially aiding in court cases, but emphasizes that the priority in a deadly force encounter is safe and accurate firearm operation. The importance of only drawing a concealed handgun when justified by the level of force is also highlighted.
