Terrorist attacks and active killer incidents are different from your run-of-the-mill defensive scenario for many reasons.
These types of attackers may employ bombs. The bombs may be worn on the body (vest or backpack) or places off-body and triggered via a timer or remote detonator.
It is very important that these attackers are killed as quickly as possible. They must not be allowed to trigger a bomb.
I highly recommend reading “Killing the Active Shooter” by Gabe Suarez (my review) and “Facing the Active Shooter” by CR Williams (my review) if you haven’t already. The concept of an “anchoring shot” is not mine, and is not new. However, I think it’s something that you should think about, especially if most of your self-defense training has been about more common criminal events.
The “anchoring shot” is one or more shots to the brain when an attacker is down. It is very important to stop these attackers, and the extra round or two is worth it, especially if they plan on using explosives.
What if you shoot someone and they are motionless on the ground? Anchor them anyway.
When someone is perforated several times (via knife, gun, etc) their blood pressure drops. They will fall to the ground. Their blood pressure may stabilize enough for them to regain consciousness.
If this happens, they may start attacking again, and/or trigger an explosive device.
Don’t let this happen. It’s worth the extra round.
Anchoring is not something I recommend during a “typical” defensive encounter. Citizens are only legally allowed to “stop the threat” in every US state I’ve lived in. I do not think that things would go well for you legally if you gave a car jacker an anchoring shot.
If you are doing any force on force training for active killers / terrorist interdiction I recommend finishing up with an anchoring shot. Get in the habit. I look forward to taking a Terrorist / Active Shooter Interdiction class with Suarez International in 2016 to learn how they incorporate the anchoring shot during live fire training.
