When we as sheepdogs make time to go to the range do we train for real-life situations? Or do we shoot from the hi ready at the 5-10 yard line at a blue piece of paper, flat-footed and admire our tight groupings?
I would wager most of us fall in the latter category. It is what we have done for years and yes…it is better than nothing. But, it is a far cry from realistic.
It is easy to feel secure when you carry a gun with you as you are carrying a force multiplier to give you a tactical advantage. However, this is a fallacy and is like living in a bubble of denial. Just carrying, or throwing your pistol in the glove box or console is not going to help you when the time comes to actually use deadly force.
So, what is REALISTIC pistol training you ask? Let’s dive into 5 steps to make you much more prepared, rather than just being armed.
The bottom line is using a weapon of deadly force is a very serious thing and is literally a matter of life or death. Just to carry is going to lull you into believing that you are prepared. Don’t be THAT GUY. Set yourself up to put the odds in your favor when the time comes.
Are you more committed to preserving your own life more than the aggressor is to taking yours away?
Think about it.
