CCW Safe is doing a series about our ultimate goal in Personal Protection. I am happy that I have been able to make a contribution to the literature of our Art.

Our goal in personal protection is to force a break in contact [with a criminal attacker]. We want them to go away, or we want to go away. One or the other.

I'm interested to read the rest of the series. The above quoted portion is really just a polite rephrasing of "shoot until the threat is gone", no? Both terms have the same potential outcome; breaking contact just has a softer connotation to it - implying flight/running away.

PART 2: BREAKING CONTACT BY AVOIDANCE

“When Ted Wafer, shotgun in hand, opened his front door during a lull in the violent pounding that had awoken him at a quarter to four in the morning, he was startled by the shadowy figure he found standing on his porch. Wafer could have waited in a safe place in his home and dialed 911. He could have turned on the porch light and yelled for the potential intruder to leave. Instead, Wafer left the relative safety of his home and literally opened the door to the deadly encounter that was about to occur. Wafer ended up shooting an injured, intoxicated, unarmed teenaged girl in the head. She was likely lost, confused, and looking for help. Now Wafer is serving a 17-year prison sentence for second-degree murder. Instead of breaking contact, Wafer initiated contact, and it cost him his freedom.
