[QUOTE="Michael Brown, post: 768502, member: 18"] John's been on a roll in the last two days: "Training: Some say that they would "... rather be lucky than good," preferring to avoid the hard work of training. It has been my experience, however, that who train enthusiastically and regularly are most often the "lucky ones!" The shallow focus on objects, such as guns, to act as a talisman, but only the naive really believe in good-luck charms. Self-deception may represent a temporary refuge for some, but a fraudulent one that will predicably unravel when the Test comes. Since last fall, there has been a mad rush among Americans to acquire firearms and ammunition. While diminished somewhat, the feeding-frenzy is still ongoing. However, when newly armed, the untrained are still unarmed, just as a new piano-owner is not automatically a "musician." Capable training provides skills necessary to run guns competently. Superior training provides a moral compass, correct mindset, and interactive skills. While physical skills are critical, they are incomplete without a practiced philosophical overlay that is true and right. And, while superior training is expensive and requires serious commitment, when were you ever sorry that you had the best of anything? My friend and esteemed colleague, Tom Givens, says superior training is always: Realistic, Relevant, and Recent. When was the last time that applied to you?" [/QUOTE]
