[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 1198912, member: 1535"] +1000. I actually think of my CC or HD gun as a last resort,and only then as an extension of my arm same as my always on my person knife or any other weapon I may own and keep around. And I dont just shoot my gun at a target and then put it away and be done with it. I include it in my bag of what I have to do to survive workout routines and try to educate myself as much as possible and get in as much training as I can get with what time I have for it. As a former boxer and life long martial arts enthusiast I just dont have a gun first mentality. For those of us not in law enforcement or never having been in the military you have to realize that alot of us only know what our fathers taught us as kids until we later pay for training. I was lucky in that my father was a career Marine DI/MP as well as a boxing coach and martial arts instructor and after he retired from the Corps a law enforcement officer like his father was. He worked with us with weapons as much as he did the boxing and martial arts. I was never in the military as an adult but I grew up around it and was shown alot of training by my father. Still,I dont mind paying for any extra training I might need,and I do when I can and can find the time for it. I dont think you can ever be fully ready for everything and any training you recieve is always beneficial and worth the money you spend on it. Still, I do realize that some day when I get old,older than my now 41 years anyways, and I'm not still working out with weights,martial arts, or on the bags boxing, and my body just isnt what it is- I may have to lean towards more gun training and rely on weapons as well as a gun as my primary defense. I will definitely get more training. Its money well spent in my book. [/QUOTE]
