public.

correct answer ✅Mental balance consists of being prepared to
first, control your own emotional and physical self, and then to

maintaining balance, strength, and advantage. Proper positioning
includes staying just outside the suspect's reach but where you can
view everything, with your gun side away from the suspect and
with a balanced stance.
