Self Defense and the LAW
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Warning! Many self-defense books and videos contain detailed instructions
|
|||
|
|
on how to maim or kill "the enemy". If you're a soldier, that's your duty.
|
|||
|
|
But if you're not a soldier fighting the enemy, you should know there are
|
|||
|
|
common-sense rules and legal restrictions on non-military self-defense.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
You can use only the same level of force against an opponent that it
|
|||
|
|
appears to be, or is actually used against you. Lethal force is not always
|
|||
|
|
necessary. (Most barroom brawls are not life-threatening.) Deliberately
|
|||
|
|
killing an unarmed opponent with your hands or other weapons when he tries
|
|||
|
|
to use non-lethal force against you might be considered as second-degree
|
|||
|
|
murder! Everyone has the right, duty and obligation to defend his life or
|
|||
|
|
the lives of innocent parties, but no one has the right to kill when
|
|||
|
|
killing isn't absolutely necessary.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If someone provokes and starts a fight, then deliberately (with malice
|
|||
|
|
aforethought), kills the other party when they respond with fists or non-
|
|||
|
|
lethal weapons, he or she could be charged with premeditated murder! Self-
|
|||
|
|
defense pleas are valid only when you defend yourself against an unprovoked
|
|||
|
|
attack and use only the SAME level of force needed to protect yourself.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
A possible exception is, when you know or strongly suspect your opponent is
|
|||
|
|
deadly proficient in unarmed combat, or his physical size is such than your
|
|||
|
|
ability to defend yourself is doubtful, and his actions or statements
|
|||
|
|
indicate he intends to maim or kill you with his bare hands or other deadly
|
|||
|
|
weapons, Then you MAY have a valid reason to kill him before he kills you.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
If you get involved in a fist fight or brawl, take your lumps and give them
|
|||
|
|
back as best you can. That's self-defense. If you opponent shows a knife,
|
|||
|
|
gun, club or other deadly improvised weapon, and you fear for your life,
|
|||
|
|
then you MAY have to kill him to save your life. Then it MAY be called
|
|||
|
|
justifiable homicide.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The weasel-words in the above paragraphs are necessary because there are
|
|||
|
|
many variables in prosecution and defense lawyer's arguments, and the
|
|||
|
|
outcome of any case depends on individual circumstances, the State, the
|
|||
|
|
judge and each individual in the jury. It's NEVER a cut-and-dried verdict!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Lethal techniques taught in books and videos in this CrimeFighters' Catalog
|
|||
|
|
should be used only in apparent life-threatening situations. If and when
|
|||
|
|
you use lethal force and your opponent doesn't survive, be sure you can
|
|||
|
|
prove that deadly force was used as a last resort in pure self-defense.

Book and Video Descriptions
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
The descriptions of books and videos in this catalog have, for the most
|
|||
|
|
part, been copied from the publisher's copy. Rather than re-write all the
|
|||
|
|
descriptions to make them applicable to CrimeFighters, most of them have
|
|||
|
|
been left "as is" because they contain more accurate descriptions of the
|
|||
|
|
book's contents. Some descriptions may suggest or recommend controversial
|
|||
|
|
actions. Some may broadly hint at or suggest illegal activity! However,
|
|||
|
|
CrimeFighters International, Inc. does not encourage, suggest, or approve
|
|||
|
|
of any illegal actions or use of illegal equipment. (Just the opposite!)
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
No subject is taboo! Some readers may worry that the detailed information
|
|||
|
|
in these books and videos can be used for illegal activity. But, knowledge
|
|||
|
|
is a weapon too, like a gun. It can be used by criminals against the law-
|
|||
|
|
abiding, but the same knowledge can also be used by the law-abiding to
|
|||
|
|
protect themselves against criminals -- providing they make an effort to
|
|||
|
|
learn what criminals know. Then, having the same or better knowledge, they
|
|||
|
|
can counter-attack as CrimeFighters. Or, at least, take preventative
|
|||
|
|
measures to defend themselves.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
In most cases, lawbreakers already know about these books or the technical
|
|||
|
|
information in them. Many ex-cons could write their own books on these
|
|||
|
|
subjects. Some already have! You'll find a few of them in this catalog.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Knowing what criminals know will give you insight of what to look for and
|
|||
|
|
what to look out for - like booby traps and pipe bombs, and other nasty,
|
|||
|
|
deadly things that ordinary citizens are seldom concerned with. Law
|
|||
|
|
enforcement personnel and Crimefighters may encounter all kinds of illegal
|
|||
|
|
equipment: terrorists' explosive devices, arson equipment and homemade
|
|||
|
|
weapons. You need to recognize them, know what they are used for, and HOW
|
|||
|
|
they're used and how to handle them to avoid nasty surprises -- and to have
|
|||
|
|
"probable cause" for a search warrant or an immediate arrest!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Cops learn many things in Police Academies but seldom the down-and-dirty
|
|||
|
|
things they need to know. The material in books and videos in this catalog
|
|||
|
|
are written by experts in their field - whether they're ex-law enforcement,
|
|||
|
|
ex-military, or ex-cons! The authors have the insider knowledge cops and
|
|||
|
|
CrimeFighters need to survive in today's world. That's why these highly
|
|||
|
|
controversial books and videos are being made available to CrimeFighters.
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
This is where you can get the essential training you need, whether it's
|
|||
|
|
fighting crime, avoiding becoming a victim of crime, or providing personal
|
|||
|
|
security for yourself, your family and neighbors. Be a survivor. Or,
|
|||
|
|
better still, be a Crimefighter AND a survivor!
