When to WAIT to Draw Your Gun (Smart Move Saved a Life)

Most people think the second you’re threatened, you should grab your gun immediately. But as this real-life gas station incident in Memphis shows, sometimes the smartest (and safest) move is to wait for the right moment.

In this breakdown, Caleb Lee (#1 best-selling author of Conceal Carry 101 and founder of Patriot Training Center) walks you through:

🔹 Why drawing too early can actually get you killed
🔹 How a calm “fake compliance” strategy gave this defender the upper hand
🔹 Everyday lessons you can apply—whether you carry a gun or just want to understand situational awareness
🔹 How to recognize the perfect opportunity to act in a high-stress encounter

Even if you’re new to self-defense, these insights can help you think smarter, stay calmer, and make safer decisions under pressure.
