Watch as one of LA’s finest law enforcement guys takes me through my paces on the shooting range. The ultimate in women’s self defense – how to shoot a gun like a pro!
I have to admit, I was a tad bummed when I came out to Australia and learned that the folks out here had no right to bare arms. If you live in America, I suggest you find yourself a shooting range, and an instructor, to at least familiarise yourself with a weapon. Why not? Better to be safe than sorry, I always say.
The chances of you finding yourself holding a gun and having to possibly shoot it at someone to save your life, are slim to none. however, why not at least familiarise yourself with the feeling just in case it ever ended up happening!
Growing up in the country, I learned to handle a gun at a very young age, as well as appreciate the power behind one. But for anyone who has yet to fire one in a safe environment, it’s never too late to learn.
Shooting a pistol is easy……….hitting what you’re aiming at is HARD. It takes practice over and over, then over and over again and again. A friend of mine can hit anything with his Glock simply because he’s practiced for over 20 years doing it so if he gets into a shootout (God forbid) his adversary is dead pure and simple. I can’t hit shit with a pistol no matter how hard I try. However put a rifle in my hands I become Sergeant York. Go figure.
KO you can be strong as shit, and beat the crap out of as many guys as you no doubt can but I suggest you learn to shoot a pistol like a Glock and be good at it for backup if you find yourself in trouble. People may poo poo guns but if you know how to use one you’re very secure and safe.
