Diffusion

When considering an attack one must always consider diffusion. In SOME cases it may be possible to avoid, mitigate or deter a circumstance BEFORE it would even take place. In other cases it may be possible to diffuse a situation after it begins. Avoiding, mitigating, deterring and diffusing different scenarios are skills that should be practiced before making the decision to carry a firearm.

HOWEVER, sometimes there is never the option to diffuse a situation, and despite our best efforts to avoid crime, we end up facing a life or death scenario where someone else has chosen to end our life and there is no choice other than to stop them. Because of this it is important to practice the skills necessary to respond rapidly and appropriately to ANY type of scenario where we cannot employ our skills of diffusion.
