re: #26 Rightwingconspirator

Here is how it goes real world. First a guy is a target shooter to get the right habits for safety, storage, handling and yes shooting skills. He practices dry fire and sight picture etc at home. Handling. Then as he gets better he takes tactical type training, the diff being more use of force law lessons and a somewhat more sophisticated kind of shooting. Like from behind concealment like a door or wall.

The tactical training should also deal with the most challenging part, which is that you’re going to be freaking the fuck out.

Also, I’m not sure what you mean by ‘real world’. In the real world, that we are in now, in many places people can just buy a gun and take it home with zero training.

And if we really want to do the big thing that makes a big diff in gun deaths, get the heck after the gangs that are having gunfights damn near daily. Double positive-You reduce both deaths directly and reduce the practical necessity of a violent defense for the good guys in the area.

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘get the heck after’ the gangs. Gangs aren’t produced by a bunch of people deciding to be evil, but because of sociological conditions in the community. I’m all for fixing that sort of thing, but that’s a long-term plan. In the meantime, I’d like to do what we can to improve the safety of gun owners by having them competently trained.

What do you mean by ‘get the heck after’ gangs?
