"Tam, you're so inconsistent! Just a few weeks ago you were talking about how if someone took a basic four-hour class, stuffed an LCP in a pocket holster every day, and made it to the range quarterly to make sure they still knew how it worked, they'd be way ahead of the game.I don't think there's a dichotomy at all. I think if you do all the stuff in the first example, you have probably immunized yourself against most sorts of random crime you're ever likely to encounter.
Then yesterday you're talking about working on speed and buying yourself a timer and shaving half a second off your concealed draw to a 3x5 card. What gives? Which is it?"
However you probably also don't have "gun owner" or "firearms enthusiast" as part of the terms you'd use to identify yourself and you probably aren't reading this blog. If you are reading this blog, it is very likely that those are terms you use to identify yourself and shooting is probably something you do for fun and more often than once in a very great while. If that's the case, wouldn't you want to be better at it?
I see the guys come into Indy Arms Co. two and three times a week, and they've been coming in since the store opened, and they're still scattering bullet holes all over a B27. They haven't improved one bit, and that's just foreign to me.
I mean, if you're only popping off a box of ammo every three months to make sure the gun works, that's one thing, but to grind out two or three hundred rounds of ammo a week and never see any improvement in your ability to hit what you're aiming at? At what point do you ignore your ego and admit maybe you might could take some lessons?
