Best weapon for Concealed Carry advise

for one situational awareness
alway sit with you back to the wall and you wont get shot in the back

when you enter a restaurant, do you scan where the exits are ?


but to be able to draw on a drawn gun, that is almost never going to end well

so you need to train yourself to draw, draw fast, draw safe and be able to acquire your target quickly



do you happen to be familiar with the shooting i mentioned?
the bad guy was shot by another Church member, from a large distance with a hand gun, while the pressure was on
between the moment the bad guy first his first shot and the good guy fired his only shot, 2 seconds passed
quite a feet

BUT the man who ended this shooting was a former deputy and a firearms instructor


you may never be fully prepared, but you can be be as prepared as possible
DIY yes I am very familiar with the event mentioned, we use it as a classic illustration during our training events to reinforce what we are teaching. We teach church and school safety classes regularly. In fact it is one of our most requested trainings. Funny you mention situational awareness, that is one of the key concepts to defensive shooting. I just did not want to become “that guy” and derail the thread by going into instructor mode! Hah! Full disclosure I am a certified defensive firearms instructor, in conjunction with a multitude of other NRA instructor tabs plus time overseas as a Marine in some unfriendly locations. Not counting competing at a relatively competent level in several disciplines. I may not be the worlds best expert but I am still alive.
