Self Defense with Firearms
February 18, 2008 · Print This Article
When carrying concealed or even owning a firearm it is each of our own moral imperative as loyal citizens that we be trained in all aspects of criminal and civil law that covers self defense and self defense with a firearm from the state you now live in. It is also very helpful to go through Shoot, Don’t Shoot scenarios so you fully understand in applying what you’ve learned.
Once you have completed this training your rightful anxiety of carrying or even owning a firearm will disappear as you will know what you can and can’t do but, of course, it is a responsibility. Therefore, this short and easy training should rightly be undertaken by every citizen of maturity in the country. Once completed you will find confidence and a feeling of control in your everyday lives in dealing with any dangerous situation which might occur in your presence whether you are armed or not. ( However, having the tool to save your life and not need it is highly preferable than not having it for the one time you do need it to survive an attack. )
Even if your state doesn’t require it, I strongly urge everyone and your young adults to take this instruction ( whether you choose to carry or not ) from NRA certified instructors or attorney’s who often teach these classes at your local universities and community colleges usually for law enforcement curriculums.
Through this education alone you will change your life and very possibly the lives of others for the better and you will have followed the instructions our Founding Father’s specifically gave us.
I almost didn’t add the following but, it is important enough that I must;
If you have chosen the appropriate firearm for you to carry or own you must practice with it as with any tool until it becomes an extension of your arm…I know women and young adults who shoot three to five times a week and shoot anywhere from 100 to 200 rounds per week up to 1,000 rounds per day. ( 1,000 p/day is, of course, for competitive shooters and once you’ve become used to recoil the ammunition seems to disappear on its own anyway. )
However, the most productive, beneficial for muscle memory and cost effective way to practice with it is dry-firing for 5 minutes per day. Firearms are made differently and some may be continuously dry-fired without doing anything but, some require snap-caps or simply dummy rounds but here is where you must learn complete safety with your firearm…Check your chamber or cylinder each time you pick it up even if you set it down only for a moment. It is your absolute responsibility to know the condition of your firearm at all times. In this way you will never have an “accident” when handling your firearm for any reason…It is only when people assume whether the tool is loaded or not do we then see and hear of “accidents”.
Be safe and be prepared as your life certainly does depend on it everyday if you realize it or not…don’t be caught by surprise as every graveyard is full of “surprised” victims.
The tactic’s used by the “Gun Control Groups,” mostly from the “liberal Left;” their lack of intelligents, rationality, and absurd reasoning, for furthering their attempt at abolishing the 2nd Amendment never ceases to amaze me. We as Conservatives, and the ambassadors of individual rights. Must oppose any change to our most valued, and coveted foundations for this country. Unless that change enhances our individual rights.
Our Constitution was written with the rights of the individual above that of the Government. The Government does not have the right to take away our basic freedoms, guaranteed to us by the founders of this nation. The Constitution, was drafted with the well being of the people. The signers, minds, and hearts can be heard in their eloquently written words.
Before any of you say, “how are they attempting to abolish the 2nd Amendment?” Allow me to explain. If you listen to a Liberal, they do not talk of the individual. Instead they classify us as BLACKS, WHITES, MINORITIES, MAJORITIES, GAYS, STRAITES, ect. You will hardly ever hear a Liberal refer to a person as a individual. They view rights, as the rights of a classified group. The rights of “gun owners,” the rights of “gays,” the rights of “minority’s.” The Liberals fail to acknowledged the rights of the individual.
If a person of rational and reasonable thinking, studied the words, and meaning of the Constitution. They would come to the conclusion; that individual rights are guaranteed by the constitution. The only time your rights can be denied is if your actions would deny the rights to other citizens. The 2nd Amendment guarantees us the right “To Keep And Bare Arms.” As long as this right does not interfere with the rights of other citizens. Criminals who use guns to obstruct the rights of another citizen fall into this category. They abuse their 2nd Amendment right. By the use of a gun, in the commission of crimes, against others. Why can’t these “Gun Control Groups,” understand that the vast majority of law abiding gun owners, don’t commit crimes. Common since dictates, that if I were to use a gun in the commission of a crime, I would not use a gun that was registered in my name. Instead of further restricting the legal ownership of guns by law abiding citizens. We should further punish those who infringe on the rights of others by the use of a gun in the commition of a crime. Gun control laws only work to control the law abiding citizen. A criminal, intent, on using a gun in the act of a crime, does not give one “RATTS BUTT” if they have a legal right to own that gun. Gun control laws only limit the rights of the law abiding citizen.
Funny thing is, that this kind of reasoning is not “ROCKET SCIENCE.” Somehow, the liberal left don’t seem to get it, or they disguises their attempt at limiting our rights, and enhancing “BIG GOVERNMENT,” by pandering to the scared, weak minded, and ignorant masses of population; who don’t want to provide for themselves. I personally believe that the leaders of the Left understand this logic, but, that they believe that the people are so stupid, they can’t understand it.
Almost every action that a Liberal takes, limits our rights, and personal freedom. As rational people, we must not fall into that mentality. Punish the criminals, leave the law abiding citizens ALONE. Hold true to our founders vision for this country. LEAVE THE 2ND AMENDMENT ALONE.
Gun control, with guns or without. Let me see, ummm, with guns, “Home of the Brave” without guns “Home of the Slaves.” I think everyone better wake up and read between the lines and see what these politicos are trying to do to us. C’mon now, Wall Street got help in what, two, three weeks? It takes up to a year for a veteran to get into the VA system. Something wrong with this picture.
Here is a quote for you to think about:
“This year will go down in History. For the first time a civilized nation has full gun registration. Our streets will be safer - Our police more efficiant - and the World will follow our lead into the future.” That was Adolf Hitler - 1935. Kinda makes ya wonda WHERE THE HELL WE’RE GOING
