Off topic but germain to uneducated / students learning in LTC or CC classes. As most of you know we repeatedly go over the 4 rules of gun safety. I don't think I can count how many times I do durning a class. But I tend to stress #4 more than most do.. Most know or understand 1, 2 and 3 but have never hard about #4.. Know your target and what's beyond... I like using my finger gun and aligning up 2 students... Front is bad guy, behind is 9 year old little girl and her family... Then I stress during a defensive shoot why #4 is so important. This of course goes hand in hand with understanding a SD situation and the many ways it can go wrong. Knowledge is power when carrying a weapon your your body.... These are the little things that many have not given any thought too and hopefully it helps them understand what else don't they know...

I speak to a pretty fair amount of people on a regular basis. I’ve only met 1 person who said he has carried a few times. Everyone else has said that they either didn’t know it was legal now and many were afraid because they didn’t know the laws and didn’t want to get in trouble. I’ve had quite a few who admitted that they wanted to but don’t have enough experience and don’t feel safe.
