How the Cooper Color Code Explains 'Stand Your Ground,' and Prevents Crime

Colonel Jeff Cooper provided a color code of mental awareness, which has been adopted by Front Sight in Pahrump, Nevada. None of the following constitutes legal advice, but it is easy to see how this color code goes well beyond debunking the myth that "stand your ground" laws turn streets into free-fire zones. Its diligent application also prevents much, if not most, violent street crime even without the display or possession of a weapon.

I personally encountered an excellent Condition Orange simulation at Luzerne County Community College's Public Safety Institute. I confronted, while holding a handgun simulator at the ready position (drawn but not aimed), a Caucasian version of Trayvon Martin who was acting suspiciously in the wrong neighborhood. He suddenly reached behind his back, drew a knife, and lunged at me. The computer determined that he reached me before I could aim and fire, which I did the instant he began his attack. (In practice, he had not done anything previously to even justify drawing a gun on him, which meant I had an advantage that a police officer or armed citizen would not have had in reality.) The lesson is, therefore, to put as much distance as you can between yourself and a suspicious individual even if you are armed. He can otherwise bring a knife to a gunfight, and win.
