I must be nuts then. Clearly, few can afford tactical training, yet actual history, as opposed to hypotheticals, shows that we’re more safe to have around than a cop when bullets fly.
Im not talking hypotheticals, its well documented how the stress of combat effects you mentally and physiologically. You really owe it to yourself to understand what happens before, during and after a gun fight. That info is free to anyone able to look it up. Training doesnt have to be expensive. As someone else said they started out w/ DVDs. If you have a computer w/ a DVD reader or TV, a place to practice and planty of ammo youve gotta a good start. Its WAY better than nothing. You dont have to be an expert to be effective but you do need to be trained.
