PRIMARY GUARD

A simple yet powerful principle;

Keep the TASER CED out of the Gun-Hand.

​​

Restricting the Gun-Hand is a bold concept. Our instincts might suggest a need to "keep the Gun-Hand available for an emergency." In reality, the TASER CED is not a defensive weapon, we contend that keeping the Gun-Hand available "for an emergency" may be creating the very exigencies that we are trying to protect against. Isolating Support-Side access, Primary Guard aims to develop the Support-Hand into the intended trained response under stress. Gun-Hand TASER CED control, including Cross-Draw, increases the risk of GBI / Death, adversely affecting Firearm Retention, Weapon Transition and Weapon Confusion.

​

​​Why do we need Primary Guard? An agency policy alone cannot prevent the TASER CED from "Switching Hands" after unholstering. This is a practice, wherein, the TASER CED is unholstered using the Support-Hand, and then is inadvertently switched over to the Gun-Hand to be deployed. This practice may occur more than an agency is aware, as it often occurs unintentional (non-consciously) on behalf of the Officer / Deputy.

 

Are Gun-Hand related conflicts a rare occurrence? Many Gun-Hand related conflicts go unidentified, which perpetuates a dangerous impression that they are a rare occurrence, and as a consequence, these conflicts widely remain an emerging and unrealized threat to both Officer Safety and Public Safety (video examples below.)

*Designed to integrate with a CED Training Regimen and Policy. Primary Guard is effective and (a visible) effort to the public against unintended gun-related deaths, keep the TASER CED out of the Gun-Hand with Primary Guard.
