Accuracy over speed
Speed over accuracy
Avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation
Engagement at the earliest opportunity

The correct answer is: Avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation

Avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation are fundamental principles of personal protection with a firearm because they prioritize preventing a dangerous situation from occurring in the first place. This means actively avoiding potentially risky situations, using communication to de-escalate confrontations, and finding ways to deter potential attackers without having to resort to using a firearm. Options A and D only focus on reacting to a situation after it has already escalated, while option B does not prioritize the ultimate goal of personal protection staying safe and avoiding harm.
