Firearms acclimation and training should be mandatory in school from age 12 on, If you ask me. It should be a prerequisite to the eventual military service some youth will experience. If we had that going on in schools, there might lie the nessessary armed presence to keep our kids safe within the instructors themselves .

The guy that owns the nutrition store I go to also goes to my gym so I have talked to him a bit about different things..

The conversation turns to guns....winds up he carries a Glock compact 9mm. Lifts his shirt and he is appendix carrying this Glock with no holster....chamber empty.

Well, maybe the chamber is empty.....but who knows for sure?

laugh

Someone like that is someone who may very well wind up arming an unarmed attacker...

very sad so many think they need no practice or training , my neighbor was at the range with a friend of his , nice guy about 25, wife and 2 little kids , he even practiced , but didn't really practice right he had a new to him Ruger 345. wanted to borrow my screw driver set to adjust the sights , I asked him which way he was moving them, I ended up helping him asked if I could try dry firing it a few times I did that got the feel for the trigger then with a a target at 25 feet I asked if I could try a few and see were it grouped , I put 3 rounds in the center of the black of a fresh target , so then he know it was him we spent a few minutes working on his grip and trigger control with dry firing , it got him his group size down considerably and if he wasn't on the middle of the target he knew it was him and he needed to slow down and concentrate on grip , sight alignment and trigger squeeze.

I think part of it is their expectation of what the gun can do and what they feel is "good enough"

they think dinner plate at 20 feet slow fire is good they have no idea that most pistols can do that at 50 yards some at 100 it just takes the right training behind the grip

That is especially true for the new handgun owners/carriers. If you offer to take some time out of your day to give them some training they look at you like your nuts...they really think that training is not necessary at all.

Its a sad situation....

Today we need a nation of minute men; citizens who are not only prepared to take up arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as a basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom. The cause of liberty, the cause of America, cannot succeed with any lesser effort.

The one's saying we don't need our guns are the ones that will curl up and cry if the fight ever comes to them and they will point the finger at others to save their own hides. We might have a ammo shortage now and then but there will be a rope shortage maybe some day too! LOL laugh

The gun grabbers have no inclination of themselves being the ones to come for the guns, they will have no problem making good honest cops/soldiers do their dirty work and die in the process. It is sickening how these people think, they are 100 times worse than what they call a president who sends troops into war.

If it ever did get to an open civil war, it should be over pretty quick with the lack of spine the antis have, once a few hundred of them are lying in the street in their own p*** and s*** the rest will act like French citizens!

I'd say bring back the Guillotine. It's amazing how history tends to repeat itself given enough time.
