The Assailant
Handguns, when carried by criminals, are often used to intimidate, threaten,
move, take property or kill. An assailant using a handgun typically derives
“power” from the weapon. This is noteworthy, since once an attempted defense
is made, the assailant loses this “power” and will also be in a life or death
struggle. In the situations presented here, the assailant is within two to four feet
(or even less) of the defender, choosing a close proximity to intimidate the
defender and disguise his intentions from other parties.
