You cannot properly understand one without the other. To know defense, you must understand the offense you prepare against. To know offense, you must know what defense may resist you. The skills needed for each overlap; "front sight...press" is needed for both. In larger situations, one may defend by mounting what is in essense an offense; one sniper may defend his own by picking off enemies on their own turf.
I would say that offensive has more to do with...well being on the offensive, taking them out before they take you out.
Isn't that essentially defense? They're gonna get you, so you get them first?
As some wags say, "The best defense is a good offense."
Obviously Law Enforcement has a need for offensive tactics
Why? Do you expect cops to attack people?
do us civies NEED such information?
Questioning such a "need" belies either ignorance or hostility to 2nd Amendment (and 1st as well) rights.
Hunting IS offensive.
We ARE all, by law, militia members and thus should know some such info.
Defense and offense heavily overlap...to understand the former REQUIRES an understanding of the latter.
It's strange that you raise a question so commonly raised by those opposed to distribution of such knowledge.
The only real difference between defense and offense is (a) who makes the first move, and (b) whether, having stopped an assault, you continue weilding deadly force. The difference is attitude, not information.
