I concur that taking an NRA handgun and/or self defense course would be an excellent idea even if you're not getting a CCW.

We had 4 or 5 roatating instructors who covered different topics, all valuable info.

Best were (1) the state police officer who explained CCW and use of force from the LEO perspective (including citizen use of force), and (2) the well-known 2nd Amendment attorney who explained that "If they don't already have a weapon, home invaders will *always* grab the biggest and ugliest knife from your kitchen drawer. Always."

"If they don't already have a weapon, home invaders will *always* grab the biggest and ugliest knife from your kitchen drawer. Always."

Exactly. They're killers. I am NOT a killer. I would never intend to kill anyone. I would just want to stop him from killing anyone.

Excellent linguistics class, if nothing else. Seriously, it DOES highlight legal nuances that are important to know. Just in case.

I think I understand counsel's phrasing of: *always*
