AFTER the Defensive Shot: Non-Threatening Postures
Just for a few seconds, you had to be a sheepdog. Here’s how to let the other sheepdogs know you’re not a wolf.
You know that you have just fired on a bad guy who needed to be stopped because he was trying to hurt you or a loved one. But does everyone else in the environment know that? Not necessarily, and they may mistake you for a bad guy. Barret Kendrick of Bearco Training guest-stars in this Personal Defense Network video describing how to reduce the chances of being mistaken for a bad guy.
As Barrett explains, more and more people have concealed carry permits and may be armed in public, in addition to on- and off-duty law enforcement officers and private security personnel who may be present.
