Which statement describes a 4 square disarm when the shooter is a right-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: (A)

The key idea here is recognizing the orientation of the threat and how it guides the disarm setup. When the shooter is right‑handed, positioned in front of the officer, with the long gun aimed at the officer from the front and still within reach, the description that matches this exact scenario is the one that states the weapon is pointed at the officer from the front and is within reach. That front-and-within-reach arrangement defines the starting point for a 4-square disarm, where control of the firearm is established from a position that allows quick access to the muzzle while the officer steps off-line to create space. The other options describe different orientations—left-handed shooter, the gun pointed from behind, or the gun pointed at the back—scenarios that would involve different angles and different timing, and thus do not describe the given setup.
