Which statement describes a 4 square disarm to the rear for a right-handed shooter?

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

Understanding how to read a rear disarm description hinges on muzzle direction and the shooter's handedness. In a rear disarm to the four-square drill, the weapon is directed toward the officer’s back, not at the front. For a right-handed shooter, the configuration that matches this rear orientation is the long gun aimed against the officer’s back with the shooter described as right-handed. That’s why this statement is the best fit: it clearly places the muzzle toward the officer’s back and specifies the shooter’s right-handed stance, which aligns with the rear-disarm scenario.

The other rear-described option mentions a left-handed shooter, which doesn’t match the right-handed requirement. A statement that only notes the weapon is from the rear without specifying handedness is too vague, and a front-facing description describes a different, non-rear situation entirely.
