Episode Sponsors: About This Episode:

In this episode, I discuss home defense misconceptions, particularly regarding armed confrontations at doorways, alongside co-host Jacob Paulsen. We analyze real-world incidents, emphasizing the importance of accurately identifying threats and the legal implications of using force.

From a fatal shooting of an assailant during a break-in to a tragic case of misidentification, we stress the need for tactical awareness and the understanding that property is not worth a gunfight. The conversation highlights the importance of maintaining a secure position at home and the necessity of critical thinking and decision-making training for effective defense.

As always, any questions or suggestions for future episodes can be submitted to podcast@concealedcarry.com!
