How These Defensive Gun Uses Could Land You In Prison

About this video

Colion participates in live-fire force-on-force training scenarios in a diner setting, working with a criminal defense attorney to analyze the tactical and legal complexities of defensive gun use. He experiences two different armed robbery situations and discovers significant gaps between his perception of events and what actually occurred. Colion reflects on how stress affects memory, decision-making under pressure, and the legal scrutiny that follows any defensive shooting, emphasizing that concealed carriers face challenges they may not have fully considered.

Key takeaways

• Colion demonstrates how stress dramatically distorts memory and perception—he believed he fired three rounds but actually fired eight, illustrating why statements to police can be dangerously inaccurate immediately after a defensive incident
• Colion explains that shooting someone in the back during a dynamic encounter may be legally justified depending on timing and threat assessment, but prosecutors will scrutinize every detail including which shot was fatal and whether retreat was possible
• Colion teaches that extreme discipline is required to avoid drawing on an already-drawn gun, and that anger and helplessness during a violent encounter must be controlled through training to avoid making tactical or legal mistakes
