BASIC GUN THREAT FROM FRONT

(DEAD-SIDE OPTION)

Handgun Threats

THREAT: The assailant presents the handgun at your centerline or closer to
your right. In this case, it is at your chest, although it could be at your head or
abdomen.

DANGER: You may be shot or taken to another location, where further crimes
will be committed.

SOLUTION: The line of fire is to your centerline or towards your right, which
dictates redirecting the line of fire in that direction.

1. Using the smallest move possible, bring your left hand up and place your
index finger at the side of the weapon. Move the weapon in a straight line to
your right, bringing your left shoulder forward to increase your reach and
blading your body to make you, the target, smaller.
