Self-defense is unfortunately a necessity in many situations and has been for as long as there have been human beings roaming the planet – like it of not, bad people do bad things and it really does not matter if they had a tough upbringing if you are one of their potential victims.
In a survival situation or SHTF moment, when people may be desperate, even good people can do rash things.
The longer that situation exists, since most people are not adequately prepared for a survival situation, the greater the likelihood they will get desperate and when they do, normal, civil behavior goes out the window.
That is why it is critical that every survivalist know at least the basics in self-defense – even if you would not normally harm a housefly.
The video on the next page covers one very simple self-defense tactic that everyone should master – be it for a survival event or for everyday life.

With all due respect- NEVER strike an opponent after grabbig the gun- it knocks them back and draws the gun back in alignment with you. Yes, i am making a video to illustrate this. Ill share it when done.
Strange, don’t train with realistic trigger discipline…or rather the lack thereof?
When I went through training for this we worked with FX and qualified with live rounds. When disarming both hands should be on the firearm and if you strike you’re likely taking a chance of missing or just annoying the assailant, or as Keith Bost pointed out allowing the perpetrator to regain their structure. With both hands on the firearm you pull it away from the shooter so that if they have their finger on the trigger you’ll force a negligent discharge rendering the weapon safe because your grip does not allow for slide articulation. Once their weapon is essentially placed in condition 3 you can proceed with a complete disarm while not being overly concerned with vector.
You also do not want to be standing in front of even a pistol when doing this because hot GSR will likely blind you.
In the community it’s called ‘getting a pickle’ because the initial movement is similar to opening a pickle jar.
Hey we use cap pistols also, but not live tounds
