I have been in training...firing under pressure so I can train my brain to react without hesitation. If this guy shows up, he is planning on killing me...I have to be ready to drop him first.
I also don't put my finger on the trigger unless I am ready to fire. It rests on the side of the gun until time to fire. My training as been extensive, and I feel "almost" ready. Good thing too...he goes before the board of Pardons and Paroles on Dec 23rd.
Thank you zip...you were very helpful in all your advice when I was looking into types of weapon to buy!
Good for you, does the recoil bother you much?
Here is to a good aim and a steady picture.
A negligent discharge wont be a problem for the bad guy but could be trouble for those down range.
stay alert and stay safe
Barely notice any recoil. I practiced over and over, shooting my computer! Empty gun, point at computer monitor, slow squeeze, follow through...over and over till you no longer flinch!
Now when I fire, I fall right back into position for the next round!
Thank you my...I'll be very careful.
My 10 year old daughter is going into the Junior NRA this winter...she wants to compete, and has already started cutting out the sugar and caffeine in her diet so she will have a steady hand!
My son will start Junior NRA when he is old enough too.
You better believe it!! I am raising two miniature repubs! They are good kids with good values.
Youll do fine Trussel
yer a strong woman
A definite sign of good training. If you get the chance, watch the scene in the Mel Gibson movie Payback where his drugged up wife (played by Deborah Unger) shoots him. She is sitting in the car afterward when the creep comes up to her. She is waving the gun around and seems to be zonked out but she has her finger parked just as you say, on the side of the gun. She is playing a skanked out witch but can't avoid good safety habits :) I'll bet she was well trained and probably has more than a few hours at the range.
you got that right
"Grandmas in Texas are tougher than "men" in San Francisco."
So are the frogs in my backyard!
Muddy footprint????It hasn't rained in Texas since the Hurricane came through, and I think it missed Arlington. But, anyway, the little lady did a great thing.
Step one: Join the NRA and subscribe to American Rifleman.
Step two: Go shooting with someone who has been around firearms most of his life
Step three: Fire wheel guns and pistols. Make a decision on which weapon is most comfortable for you.
Step four: Purchase a weapon.
Step five: Go to the range and PRACTICE... PRACTICE... PRACTICE!
Step six: Get a CCW permit.
Step seven: go to the range and PRACTICE... PRACTICE... PRACTICE!
Ammo is very inexpensive. 9mm, .38 special, .45 ACP is "Cheaper Than Dirt."
I will try to find that movie and watch for that scene. :)
I am very careful with my gun...I would never want to hurt an innocent, but I have to be ready to drop this one guy when he comes for me. I pray he isn't released, but he is a five time felon, and they just keep letting him go :(
He told me I would die when he got out...and he told me he wouldn't leave a witness the next time. So I not only have to avoid being his victim again, I have to consider the safety of his next victim. I won't have that on my hands...he's going home in a pine box!
