Which statement matches a 4 square disarm when the shooter is a left-handed shooter in front of the officer, with the long gun pointed at the officer from the front and within reach?

• A. The subject has a long gun pointed at the officer from the front and the gun is within the officer's reach.
• B. The subject has a long gun pointed at the officer from the front and the gun is within the officer's reach. LEFT- HANDED SHOOTER
• C. The subject has a long gun pointed AGAINST the officer's back. RIGHT HANDED SHOOTER
• D. The subject has a long gun pointed at the officer from the rear

Answer: (B)

The important idea here is that handedness and the threat’s position determine how you respond in a 4-square disarm. When the shooter is left-handed and in front of you, with the long gun pointed at you from the front and within reach, your response must account for that left-handed orientation so you can safely gain control of the weapon from the front. That description—the weapon pointed at you from the front and within reach, with the shooter identified as left-handed—matches the immediate, front-facing threat you’d address in this scenario. It signals you need a front-entry approach that accommodates a left-handed shooter, focusing on quickly securing the muzzle and gaining control while keeping yourself protected. Options that omit the left-handed detail or describe the gun being oriented behind or away from you don’t fit this specific situation.
