Your first mistake is Believing You’re Trained and Ready When You’re Not!
"Far too many people believe that all they need to do is attend a Concealed Carry Weapons class “get their ticket”, and - bingo! - they’re ready to hit the streets, feeling fully protected. Unfortunately, they’re wrong, and if they find themselves in an actual armed encounter, they may well be dead wrong...Manage to survive, they may well find themselves facing criminal Prosecution."
— Chuck Taylor - Concealed Carry Handguns Magazine - summer 2017
This article describes firearms training methods that include, not just standing on a firing line and shooting a few bullets down range because anyone can do that. A good firearms training class teaches things like the universal safety rules, basics of self defense firearms, handgun grip, trigger control, sight picture, target acquisition, and clearing handguns as well as information on ammunition. Additionally, a laymen's understanding of local and state gun and self defense laws should be interwoven within each segment of the training.
"You’ve heard it a million times and probably said it yourself when discussing your favorite handgun: “It just fits my hands.” It’s a statement about the fit and feel of a handgun. It’s how your hands wrap around its stocks, how your trigger finger falls to the side of the frame and then onto the trigger, how it just seems natural to move the gun in your hand and manipulate its controls, and how you can draw the gun and point it at a target. This is all very subjective and personal." (By Mark Kakkuri // 08/10/2018)
