The recent news about a case of where a concealed carry owner had to defend himself from being beaten to death, should be a classic example of how and why we should all train more often. Here was a man that was attacked by a thug. The thug approached his so quickly that the defendant did not even have time to unholster his weapon. The thug was on top of him fast. He would have continued to slam the attackers head into the cement, most probably resulting in death of the victim. It was most fortunately that the victim was smart enough to carry a weapon, and by the grace of God, was able to draw that weapon and save his life as the attacker continued the deadly blows to the victims head.
This should be a lesson. Training at home, training daily to get the gun out of your holster quickly is of utmost importance. I was reading in a gun mag this morning about the 2x2 drill. A drill where a small index card is placed 15-20 feet away and you quickly draw your weapon and shoot. This is a drill, I practice often at home with a air pistol. In real life, you will not have much time. Train often, get fast, get smart. Get a air pistol.
