It's easy to get wrapped up in collecting the latest weapons, attachments, and gear; however, if you don't train regularly, none of it is any good. It's rarely fun to train, but it's critically important. Not only do you need to know how to shoot, but you need to know how to operate under pressure. When you go to the range, don't just shoot from the bench rest. Get a tactical bay, shoot while standing, move and shoot, engage multiple targets, do reload drills, etc.

Thanks for the wonderful input. If only guns could write their resumes, most of them would start with trigger experience and end up saying, shot bullets with pin-point accuracy. As for training and skills development, I absolutely agree that practice makes perfect with anything in life, especially tactics involving external danger factors to ensure master One's personal space is very important; your argument can be applied even when opening a lock using keys, you have to keep on practicing until you effortlessly unlock every keyhole at the blink of an eye!

Agreed. There are dry fire drills you can do at home as well that make it easier to get a few mins of training in even every day.

I don’t know. What are the odds that all of that training will ever pay off? Most defensive gun uses are just displaying a weapon.

Well, drawing is part of the training that would come in handy here. Ultimately though, you shouldn't draw a gun that you aren't prepared to use. If the other guy has a gun, he may shoot first. If he has a knife, he may charge you.

You might be better off not carrying if you don't train some. I think of it like a life insurance policy, you pay premiums every year. Training is like that, you need to put in the time and money to do it regular enough that it's actually effective when you need it.

The constitution to do potentially lethal harm is paramount to the decision to carry.
