The funny thing is I am seeing some defense coaches talking about that sideways hold now, usually using a laser. It is generally when shooting from cover like around a corner so you can establish a sight picture or guide on the laser without exposing any more of your body and head than necessary. It is also supposed to be more stable on an "out to the side" hold. .... I'm sure you're right in theory Greg, but I doubt that applies much to thug life "Defense coaches..." I like firearms and have no objections to reasonable people owning firearms, but I do get a laugh out of all the youtube vids and magazine articles about which weapons are "the best" for going to war or "protecting" oneself in a fire fight. If you are going to war and you are not a soldier of fortune, one assumes "the military" assigns you a firearm and teaches you how to use it. I'd bet that 99.99% of non-sworn civilians in this country who "carry" never have and never will face an armed assailant or gunfire or a grizzly bear or mountain lion. Are you seriously saying a gun owner should not have any kind of training? As for the likelihood of needing a gun in a defense situation, I assume you have/had a fire extinguisher on your boat. Did you ever have to use it? Were you actually trained in how to use it? In my 70 years, I have never discharged a fire extinguisher except in training and I have plenty. Was trained in fire extinguishers when racing cars. Have actually had to use them a couple times. One time my POS 1968 charger decided to crack a fuel line while traveling down highway 50. And another time put out another guys car fire, and he never even offered to pay for the refill. Should have let it burn. |
