Hi guys: If you've been paying attention you'll remember that I harp on Getting Proper Training to use your guns,,, alot.
It is pointless to have or carry a gun if you don't know how to use it, or aren't willing to use it.
I have been a member of Front Sight since 2006 and have been to many (25+) courses.
I am Relatively Proficient with Rifles, Pistols, and Shotguns. Before being introduced to Front Sight I was pretty confident that I was "very proficient" with Rifles Pistols and Shotguns.
In Short,,, I was an idiot! I had no idea what I was doing!
If I had been pushed into a gunfight the best I could have realistically hoped for, would have been to not shoot myself!
I'm not trying to be funny here. This is a Realistic assessment of my skill level then, based on my current skill level. I was 56 years old at the time and "Thought" I knew what I was doing. I did NOT! And I have to tell you that I am NOT the Exception here. Unless you have had serious training from either an Accredited School (more than just one or two classes) or the Military or Law Enforcement, you don't either!
Sorry, but this is the Cruel REALITY!!!
In short I had no idea of what to do, or why I should be doing it. In reality I was only aware of which end of the gun was the business end, however the concept of "not pointing the gun at myself," was foreign to me. I covered myself alot. I was pretty unsafe to be around. And once again, I am NOT the exception here.
What I am doing today is relaying a message sent to me this morning by Ignatius Piazza offering every one who responds a,,,
Totally Free no strings attached 4 Day Defensive Handgun Course at Front Sight.
Here are two videos: The first one is Brad Ackman critiquing the video of the Recent Church Shooting where the bad guy was killed quickly.
The Second is Dr Piazza telling you how to sign up for your Free Course.
I highly recommend that you at least look at these videos and seriously think about taking him up on this offer. Once you attend a course you will see EXACTLY what I was talking about in my experience 14 years ago, and you will be on your way to becoming a "Truly Responsible Gun Owner."
