"Several of my family, friends from back in HS, and most of the guys that were there that night, have gotten their CCW permits in the ensuing months. I've encouraged that, but with the caveat that each person really needs to take it seriously. I try to explain to them that before I started CCW'ing I sat down and made a conscious decision that if the occasion arose that I would use it and I would take another person's life if that's what it came to. For all the blow hard internet commanding that goes on in gun boards these days, I think that it's important to remember that for us good guys, killing another human being is inherently against our nature unless it's an us or them situation."
Practice, practice, practice. This guy wasn't able to get a perfect stance at a stationary target and all other points of posture and shooting fundamentals we fire down the range.
Practice and know your carry weapon.
I type this as much as a reminder to me as to all other fellow-CHL'ers.
God forbid, should something ever go down where one would need to act, not a thing about the encounter will be perfect or textbook.
Quite the story.
